Jealous Lover
Kilians Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I´m a jealous lover
Who´s got to hurt the sun
Who´s looking for a cover
but finding just a gun

I´m a jealous lover
Who´s blood is still disproving
like a shaking glover
not to be a spoilt king´

I´m a jealous lover
Who`s got a hope for fire




so go and get another
Who won`t be any...

The singer admits to being a "jealous lover," indicating that their jealousy is a defining part of their personality. They also express a desire to "hurt the sun," indicating a sense of grandiosity and a desire to control even the most powerful aspects of their environment.

As the song continues, the singer becomes more introspective, acknowledging that their jealousy is destructive and ultimately self-defeating. They describe their "blood [as] still disproving" and compare themselves to a "shaking glover," suggesting that their jealousy is causing them to lose control over their own emotions and actions. Despite this, the singer also expresses a sense of pride or entitlement, insisting that they are not a "spoilt king" who can be easily dismissed or ignored.


Overall, "Jealous Lover" presents a nuanced and psychologically complex portrait of a person struggling with intense jealousy. The lyrics suggest a sense of both power and helplessness, pride and self-doubt, making for a compelling and thought-provoking exploration of this complicated emotion.
