Education
Jump Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Two pills and a slap across your face
Will put you in a better way
I know it hurts, I know it hurts
It feels like it will never go away

But please man, if you lose it one more time
I swear you will become a slave
Battered and chained, battered and chained
There is no way you can be saved

From a broken heart's education
A broken heart's education
A broken heart's education

Believe me cause I've known you all my life
So please don't make me say it twice
Once is enough, once is enough
I'm begging you please take my advice

There's no way that you'll
Ever be the same again
Now you are a fool to fate
Like it or not, like it or not
There is no way you can escape

From a broken heart's education
A broken heart's education
A broken heart's education

Slow down cause it's gonna come around again
You better get your shit together
Will you ever learn
Will you ever learn
Will you ever learn
From a broken heart's education

Two pills and a slap across your face
Will put you in a better way
I know it hurts, I know it hurts
It feels like it will never go away

A broken heart's education
A broken heart's education
A broken heart's education
A broken heart's education

A broken heart's education (will you ever learn?)
A broken heart's education (will you ever learn?)
A broken heart's education (will you ever learn?)




A broken heart's education (will you ever learn?)
From a broken heart's education

Overall Meaning

The song "Education" by Jump deals with the aftermath of a broken heart and the lessons that one can learn from such a painful experience. The lyrics suggest that taking pills or being slapped across the face may numb the pain temporarily, but they do not make the emotional turmoil go away. The singer (presumably a friend or lover) pleads with the person who is suffering to try and hold it together, to not let themselves fall apart completely, or else they will end up enslaved to their own emotions. The broken heart is likened to a harsh but necessary teacher, giving a harsh education that one cannot avoid. The lyrics implore the person to not be foolish and to learn from this experience so that they can move on and grow as a result.

The phrase "broken heart's education" is repeated throughout the song, and it is a poignant way of referring to the emotional pain that comes with a break-up or romantic rejection. The lyrics suggest that this kind of heartbreak is a universal experience, and that everyone must go through it at some point in their lives. They also imply that there is a certain wisdom and resilience that comes from having survived such an ordeal.

In terms of the music itself, "Education" features a catchy melody that is built around a simple guitar riff, pulsing bassline, and driving drums. The song has a high-energy, upbeat tempo that seems almost at odds with the somber lyrics. However, this contrast only serves to underscore the theme of the song - that even in the midst of pain and heartbreak, life goes on, and we must find a way to keep moving forward.
