Juliet
Pocket Theory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He puts out his ciggarette
Hids it from his Juliet
He loves her so
He doesn't want her to know
He's not the guy
she thought she knew
She took a chance and their emotions grew
A year went by
and they're going out
it's going great and they had no doubts
just a boy
in a band
who her father couldn't stand
but she took a chance
now her world is crushing down
treading in the deep end
waiting to drown
and he loves her with all his heart
he knew it wouldn't work right from the start
he knows he (?)
He says we should go our separate ways
its the story of the guy who watched
(1)
and if she stays
he would treat her right
each and every night
if she falls
he will be there to catch her
and never neglect her
if she runs
He will (2)
and find this beautiful girl
he had promised Juliet
he'd never smoke another ciggarrette
today she left him
just, I guess, as she should
if he could stop her
he knows he would
he's feeling alone
couldn't feed this addiction
didn't pick the right hello eviction
nothing he did before feels the same
so he's resorting to Mary Jane
but he's on tour
he's playing his hometown
he doesn't believe who he sees in the crowd
it's his Juliet
now he feels in love again




he's never going ever have to pretend
she looks at him and smiles

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pocket Theory's song "Juliet" describe a complicated love story between two people who are seemingly from different worlds. The male protagonist is a member of a band, and is depicted as a smoker who hides his cigarette from his Juliet because he doesn't want her to know that he's not the guy she thought he was. Despite this, their relationship flourishes over the course of a year, and everything seems to be going well until the male protagonist decides that they should go their separate ways. He loves her with all his heart, but knows that they are not right for each other.


The song explores themes of addiction, love, loss, and regret. The singer is depicted as struggling with his addiction to smoking and his love for Juliet. Despite his best efforts, he can't seem to shake his addiction and ends up resorting to using marijuana while on tour. However, his love for Juliet remains strong throughout the song, and when he sees her in the crowd at his hometown performance, he feels as though he's in love again. The song ends on a hopeful note as Juliet smiles at him, suggesting that their love story is not yet over.
