A performer since the age of seven (the age at which he joined the Broadway cast of Annie Get Your Gun), Nicholas made his songwriting debut in 2002, when a holiday tune he'd co-written with his father found its way onto a Broadway Christmas album. A contract with Columbia Records followed two years later. Nicholas began prepping for his solo career by writing material with his older brothers, Kevin and Joseph, who eventually climbed aboard as permanent partners. Nick's solo project thus blossomed into a full-fledged band, and the siblings aptly named themselves the Jonas Brothers.
It took several years for the Jonas Brothers to find an adoring audience. It's About Time, the band's 2006 debut, was a commercial flop, and Columbia Records dropped the group one year later. Signing with Hollywood Records in 2007, the band began attracting new fans -- most of them young and female -- by establishing a presence in the Disney world. They appeared on the network's television shows, earned their own series, starred in a made-for-TV movie with Disney starlet Demi Lovato, and sold close to two million copies of their self-titled sophomore album. They replicated that feat one year later with A Little Bit Longer and returned in 2009 with Lines, Vines and Trying Times. All of the albums featured heavy contributions from Nick, who not only led the songwriting process but also played a wide variety of instruments, from drums to keyboard to guitar.
Taking a rare break from the band, Nick Jonas began working with several other musicians on a side project in late 2009. Members from Prince's New Power Generation were recruited to join the lineup, including Michael Bland and Tommy Barbarella, and the group dubbed itself Nick Jonas & the Administration before making its debut in early 2010 with the album Who I Am. The record performed respectably, peaking at three on the U.S. charts on its way to sales of 151,000, but there were soon suggestions that Nick was planning to return to the Jonas Brothers fold. This didn't happen. A 2013 tour was scrapped just prior to its October launch and, soon afterward, the band split. Nick Jonas regrouped with a 2014 solo tour followed by the November release of an eponymous album. Over the course of 2014, Jonas gained momentum, generating the Top 10 single "Jealous," which also topped Billboard's dance charts, as did "Chains " and "Levels," a bonus track from 2015's Nick Jonas X2.
In the Summer of 2016, Jonas returned with a new full-length effort, Last Year Was Complicated, featuring production by Jason Evigan, Mattman & Robin, Sir Nolan, and others. Included on the album was "Close," a duet with Tove Lo, and "Bacon," featuring Ty Dolla $ign. The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. Also around this time, Jonas returned to acting, starring in the erotic thriller Careful What You Wish For and the fraternity hazing drama Goat. In 2017, he released the singles "Remember I Told You," featuring Anne-Marie and Mike Posner, and "Find You." Also that year, he collaborated with Nicki Minaj on the track "Bom Bidi Bom" off the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack.
Chainsaw
Nick Jonas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where I held your body close for so long, so long
Walk in the house, lights are off
In the closet by the door, there's your coat
I wasn't thinking of you before
Too many rooms in this house, so I keep going out
What the hell is that about?
And maybe I'll just take a chainsaw to the sofa
Where I held your body close for so long, so long
I'm gonna break all of the china
'Cause it's just one more reminder you're gone, you're gone
When I get home, TV on
Drink in my glass, better make it strong
Some nights wanna fill this space
The tight dress and a pretty face
Keep finding things that you left on purpose
Did you plan that your timing's perfect?
Gotta find a way to be okay
Maybe I'll just take a chainsaw to the sofa
Where I held your body close for so long, so long
I'm gonna break all of the china
'Cause it's just one more reminder you're gone, you're gone
We were building brick by brick
Now it's just a quicksand home, yeah
So I'll take a chainsaw to the sofa
Where I held your body close for so long, so long
I could put a sign in the lawn
But it'd mean that I would wanna let you go
And I don't wanna let you go
I could put a sign in the lawn
But it'd mean that I would wanna let you go
And I don't wanna let you go
I'll take a chainsaw to the sofa
Where I held your body close for so long, so long
I'll burn everything that binds us
Take a lighter to the mattress and run
We were building brick by brick
Now it's just a quicksand home, yeah
So I'll take a chainsaw to the sofa
Where I held your body close for so long, so long
Yeah, so long
The lyrics of "Chainsaw" by Nick Jonas depict a man trying to move on from a past relationship that has ended. He is haunted by memories of his partner, and the objects that they shared become painful reminders of what they used to have. He considers drastic measures to purge himself of these memories, even going so far as to destroy the furniture they once shared. The purposeful items left behind feel like a cruel reminder of his loss, and he wants to burn everything that binds them so that he can forget.

I'll take a chainsaw to the sofa
I will use a chainsaw to destroy the sofa
Where I held your body close for so long, so long
This is where we cuddled for hours
Walk in the house, lights are off
I enter the house and the lights are not on
In the closet by the door, there's your coat
I see your coat hanging in the closet next to the door
I wasn't thinking of you before
You were not on my mind earlier
Too many rooms in this house, so I keep going out
This house feels empty without you, so I try to avoid staying inside
What the hell is that about?
Iβm confused as to why I continue to feel this way
We gotta find a way to be okay
We need to figure out how to move on
And maybe I'll just take a chainsaw to the sofa
Perhaps I will use a chainsaw to destroy the sofa
'Cause it's just one more reminder you're gone, you're gone
The sofa only reminds me of how you are no longer here
When I get home, TV on
When I arrive home, I turn on the television
Drink in my glass, better make it strong
I pour a strong drink into my glass
Some nights wanna fill this space
Sometimes I feel the need to fill the emptiness
The tight dress and a pretty face
I look for distraction in the form of other girls
Keep finding things that you left on purpose
I keep discovering things you intentionally left behind
Did you plan that your timing's perfect?
Did you purposely choose to leave when it was most difficult for me?
We were building brick by brick
We were slowly building a life together
Now it's just a quicksand home, yeah
Now, everything is falling apart, and I feel like I'm sinking
I could put a sign in the lawn
I could put up a sign outside
But it'd mean that I would wanna let you go
If I did that, it would seem like I'm ready to move on
And I don't wanna let you go
I'm not ready to let go of you yet
I'll burn everything that binds us
I will destroy every item that symbolizes our relationship
Take a lighter to the mattress and run
I will set the bed on fire and leave
So long
Goodbye, forever
