Jade
M.S.S Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

City lights
Driving is our pass time
Busy nights
Looking from the outside
Silly fights
Not talking is a worse crime
I seen it die, since 2020 now it's a lie
We were young, we were high
We were shooting for the sky
We were never not together
We were living good lives
We would give and forgive
But what happened this time
But what happened this time
What happened this time (What happened this time)
What happened this time
What happened this time (What happened this time)
(Yeah, yeah)
Did we forget who we used to be
Had each other's back but this is new to me
Shattered all around, this'll ruin me
Picking up what's broken will be the death of me
I'm drifting
I'm swimming
I'm kicking
My head just keeps on spinning
I'm shaking
I'm breaking
My heart just keeps on giving
Forgiving
And fixing
My friends above, I'm sinking
(I'm sinking)
I'm sinking
Calling
This early in the morning
But it just don't phase me
Softly
Got me drifting baby
Haunting
But it just don't phase me (Phase me)
What I want keeps you chasing
Not spacing (Spacing)
But I just can't take it (Take it)
I'll break it (Break it)
I'm drifting
Like the earth just keeps on shifting (Shifting)
I'm pacing
Wonder why your heart's still racing (Racing)
I'm crawling
Dissolving
Belonging
Is exhausting (Exhausting)
It couldn't be
Why you act like you still want me?
Just forget it please
Cause it just don't phase me
Calling
This early in the morning
But it just don't phase me
Softly
Got me drifting baby
Haunting
But it just don't phase me
Calling
This early in the morning
But it just don't phase me
Softly
Got me drifting baby
Haunting
But it just don't
(Phase me) My skin is crawling
You act like you don't want me
But you got me chasing softly
Let me down and still it haunts me
But it just don't phase me
Calling
This early in the morning
But it just don't phase me
Softly
Got me drifting baby




Haunting
But it just don't phase me (Phase me)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to M.S.S Project's song "Jade" depict a sense of nostalgia and loss of connection in a friendship or relationship. The city lights and busy nights serve as a backdrop to the memories of a once-close connection that has since faded away. The singer reflects on how they were once young and ambitious, shooting for the sky together, but now they barely talk and engage in "silly fights." They can't understand how they've grown apart to the extent that they can't recognize who they used to be. The chorus expresses the singer's struggle to move on and forget the past, even as they're haunted by memories that just won't go away.


The second verse of the song suggests that the relationship has been irreparably damaged, with the singer struggling to come to terms with the loss. They feel like they're "drifting" and "breaking," but they still have an urge to forgive and fix what's broken. The third verse depicts the singer's sense of abandonment. They feel like they're "crawling" and "dissolving," while the other person acts like they don't even want them anymore. Despite this, the singer can't help but chase after the memories of what they once had, even as it tears them apart.


Overall, "Jade" paints a vivid picture of a broken friendship or relationship that once held a lot of promise but has since become distant and unrecognizable. The singer's struggle to move on and come to terms with the loss is palpable, making this song a poignant reflection on the nature of connection and loss.
