If only I could fly
And touch the bathroom ceiling
If only I could fly
And touch the bathroom floor




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Matisse's song Jealous convey the feeling of helplessness and desire for escape from a suffocating situation. The singer expresses the wish to fly away, implying a desire for freedom from his current circumstances. The specific mention of the bathroom ceiling and floor could suggest that the singer feels trapped even in the most intimate and private spaces of his life. The repetition of the phrase "if only" emphasizes the impossibility of the situation, emphasizing the feeling of being stuck and unable to escape.


The lyrics also convey a sense of jealousy, as the title suggests. This could be seen as jealousy towards those who are free to fly, but it could also be interpreted as jealousy towards those who don't have to deal with the same suffocating situation that the singer is experiencing. Overall, the lyrics to Jealous suggest a desire for escape and a feeling of being trapped, as well as the envy towards those who are free.

Tuchel had a squad of players he knew were not good enough but he utilized them anyway to show the board and us fans that they weren't good enough, and Conte on the other hand.. 💁🏽‍♂️😂 he's throwing temper tantrums (still have massive respect for him tho).

Mò Zi

You say that as if those squads could be compared.

Ismaeel

People forget to realize that he just wants a big payday. He doesn't really give a damn about Spurs, so he took the opportunity to insult them while knowing he is going to get big money if he gets sacked. That's a really poor human being tbh. He left Chelsea on a bad note as well, which resulted in him getting a payout there too

Ma-mo

That's a really poor human being? Really?

Uncle Ben’s Rice

​@Ma-mo well he is Italian

FACTS

Silmarien Prince

100% truth.

Daryl

Why would he need to prove to supporters that players who aren’t playing deserve playtime? He’s training them everyday. I think he knows what he’s doing.

Agooooo

No, he is just stubborn. Look at what Spence is doing in Rennes now.

Daryl

@Agooooo The level of ligue 1 is a joke compared to the Prem. Even Lacazette is balling there
