Jack and Jill
Kito Romualdez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who fell in love with this girl, Jill
He loved her for her eyes and for the way she acted
Together they were a thrill
Jack lost his charm and sweet went sour
Finally came the ending hour
Well let me tell ya, Jack had lost his mind
Finally led to a disaster
Jack really felt that he had wasted time
See no one really ever knew that
Jack and Jill
Didn't fall down a hill
Jack and Jill fell in love
Jack didn't break his crown
He broke his beating heart
From Jill not being around
La la la's
Well let me tell ya more about his lover Jill
Who really wasn't what she seemed
She'd sneak right past ya,
Stick a knife right in your back
And she would get away or slip away unseen
She really wasn't so bad, when she tried
Jack really felt their love would last for quite awhile
Her heart wasn't so cold from time to time
It's a shame it didn't work
and it's a shame the magic died
See know one really ever knew that
Jack and Jill
Didn't fall down a hill
Jack and Jill fell in love
Jack didn't break his crown
He broke his beating heart
From Jill not being around
La la la's
The song "Jack and Jill" by Kito Romualdez tells the story of two young lovers, Jack and Jill. The song starts with a cheerful tone, describing how Jack fell in love with Jill for her eyes and the way she acted. Together, they were a thrill to be around. However, as time goes by, their love story takes a dark turn as Jack loses his charm, and things start going sour. Despite making excuses to save what they had, he couldn't stop the inevitable disaster that was coming. Finally, he realized that he had already wasted his time with Jill, and he had lost his mind over their failed romance.
Interestingly enough, the song turns the well-known "Jack and Jill fell down the hill" nursery rhyme on its head. Instead of falling down a hill, Jack and Jill fell in love with each other. Jack didn't break his crown, but he broke his beating heart from the pain of Jill not being around anymore. Kito Romualdez wanted to show that their love story was not as innocent and sweet as the nursery rhyme, and there was a lot more happening beneath the surface.
As the song progresses, the listeners get to know more about Jill. She wasn't the same person as she portrayed to be. She was manipulative and deceitful, someone who could stab you in the back and disappear without a trace. But Jack loved her anyway and believed that their love would last forever. Unfortunately, her cold heart and their magic couldn't save their relationship, and their love story ended tragically.
Overall, the song "Jack and Jill" is a cautionary tale about love, heartbreak, and deception. It portrays how love can be complicated, and things aren't always what they seem. Kito Romualdez wanted to convey that under all the fairytale-like stories of love, there lies the harsh reality of pain and betrayal.
