Maltese has always nailed lonesome provocations with idiosyncratic dry wit but "madhouse" reckons with those emotions in a way the half Brittish, half Canadian hasn't yet fully explored until now. "I've found that sometimes the majority of the emotional journey of love and life is actually the search for an understanding of it. And these songs try and make peace with all of that, poke fun at it and, ultimately, embrace it."
Jupiter
Matt Maltese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're not with him no more, yes it's just us
In every dream I have you're at the bar
Drinking White Russians with me, it's just us
I need you like a fire needs a log
Jupiter couldn't keep me from you
Oh I'm yours
Jupiter couldn't keep me from you
Oh I'm yours
You say hello and I'm back to the start
I wanna be the screen you always touch
And I'd even be an ulcer in your mouth
Just to be close to you, I'm just so far
I need you like a fire needs a log
Jupiter couldn't keep me from you
Oh I'm yours
I want you like a dog wants a dog
Jupiter couldn't keep me from you
Oh I'm yours
I need like a shore needs a rock
Jupiter couldn't keep me from you
Oh I'm yours
I want you like a dove wants a dove
Jupiter couldn't keep me from you
Oh I'm yours
The song "Jupiter" by Matt Maltese is a love song that implies an endless, unconditional, and unyielding love. The lyrics tell the story of a man who is hopelessly in love with someone and who sees himself as not being able to get enough of her, even when she is not around. The lyrics revolve around the concept of dreams and the hope that the man has that these dreams will eventually become a reality.
The man believes that in every dream he has, the woman he loves is with him, and they are alone together. He feels like they were meant to be together, and nothing can stop him from wanting to be with her. He compares his love to a fire that needs a log, and he cannot function without her, claiming that even Jupiter, with all its strength, could not keep him from her. The chorus repeats this several times, emphasizing the idea that he is completely under her spell and nothing can change that.
In the second verse, he expresses the desire to be close to her in any way possible, even if it means being close to her pain, as he mentions he will be an ulcer in her mouth if it means being with her. He sees her as the only thing he needs to be complete, and nothing can stop him from continuing to pursue her. This song beautifully describes the feelings of a person who is deeply in love and would do anything to be with the person they adore.
