Jade
Pascow Lyrics

The lyrics of Pascow's song "Jade" speak to the experience of being immersed in a raucous, energetic crowd at a concert or live performance. The first verse describes the anticipation and excitement felt by the crowd as they enter the venue. The comparison of the crowd to jade symbolizes their strength and resilience, suggesting that they are ready to be "torn open" by the music. The lyrics also suggest that despite the temporary nature of this experience, with the venue transforming into the "best place in town" for just an hour, the intensity of the music and the energy of the crowd create a sense of euphoria.

In the chorus, the lyrics express a longing for the ultimate end of this energetic experience, questioning when it will all finally stop for both the people in the front row and the singer themselves. The lyrics playfully suggest asking someone else, such as your mother or hairdresser, as they might have insights that the singer does not possess. This expression of uncertainty adds a sense of vulnerability to the song.

The second verse maintains the theme of longing and uncertainty, emphasizing the need for a deep connection between the singer and the listener. The refrain "Wenn in deiner Brust nicht mein Herz schlägt, dann halt dich raus" (If my heart doesn't beat in your chest, then stay out) suggests that without this deep connection, the listener should not become involved in the singer's emotions or experiences. The repetition of the phrase "dann halt dich raus" (then stay out) reinforces this sentiment.

Overall, "Jade" captures the raw energy and intensity of live music, while also exploring themes of longing, uncertainty, and the importance of genuine connection.
