Jessica
Quietdrive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never thought I'd end this stand, but you know
It's hard for me to just ignore
Oh, it's just a matter of time
Before I take your phone and I'll call everyone you know
So hate me for letting go
But you'll leave me if I try to stay
Oh, won't you just let me go?
All the secrets you keep
And the words that you speak
Mean more to me than you'll know
Oh, give it up, give it up, Jessica
Oh, won't you just let me go?
All the secrets you keep inside
Mean more to me
They mean more to me than you'll know
Are living a lie, or are you living away?
Doesn't always own just a place to stay
So let's just stop and rewind
Before I lose my mind
Before I don't wanna hear you say
It's the worst of our types that go
The worst who stay
Oh, give it up, give it up, Jessica
Oh, won't you just let me go?
All the secrets you keep
And the words that you speak
Mean more to me than you'll know
Oh, give it up, give it up, Jessica
Oh, won't you just let me go?
All the secrets you keep inside
Mean more to me
They mean more to me than you'll know
You tear apart my mind
And make me wonder where you are
But I still remember everything
That happened before dawn
I'm begging you for honesty
And all you're spitting out are lies
Do you even have an alibi?
I don't know, I don't know
(Oh, give it up, give it up, Jessica)
(Oh, give it up, give it up, Jessica)
Oh, give it up, give it up, Jessica
Oh, won't you just let me go?
All the secrets you keep inside
Mean to more to me
They mean more to me than you'll know
Oh, give it up, give it up, Jessica
Oh, give it up, give it up for Jessica
All the secrets you keep
And the words that you speak
Mean more to me
You mean more to me than you'll know
More to me
You mean more to me than you'll know
The song "Jessica" by Quietdrive begins with the singer expressing their uncertainty about wanting to know the truth about the titular character. They know that ignoring the situation is not the answer, and ultimately, the singer feels that they have to take action. However, the song's chorus suggests that Jessica has a hold on the singer, and they are struggling to let go despite the fact that they know it's necessary. The lyrics show that the secrets and lies that Jessica keeps are significant to the singer, even if they're painful. They're begging for honesty, but it's not clear whether they'll be able to get it.
The second verse of the song suggests that Jessica might be living a lie or hiding something. The singer wants to rewind before they lose their mind over the situation. But even when they ask for the truth, the only thing they get in return is more lies. It's not clear whether Jessica has an alibi for something, leading to more confusion and frustration from the singer. Ultimately, the chorus repeats, emphasizing the struggle the singer faces as they try to let go of their attachment to Jessica while still desperately wanting the truth.

I never really thought I'd want to know
I never thought I would become curious about your secrets
I never thought I'd end this stand, but you know
I never thought I would break up with you, but you know we can't continue like this
It's hard for me to just ignore
It's difficult for me to simply overlook your secrets and lies
Oh, it's just a matter of time
It's only a question of time until I find out your secrets
Before I take your phone and I'll call everyone you know
I will go to great lengths to reveal your secrets
So hate me for letting go
You can angrily blame me for ending our relationship
But you'll leave me if I try to stay
If I try to salvage our relationship, you'll break up with me
Oh, won't you just let me go?
Please allow me to move on from our relationship
All the secrets you keep
Your secretive behavior
And the words that you speak
The things you say that are meant to deceive me
Mean more to me than you'll know
Your lies and secrets greatly affect me
Are living a lie, or are you living away?
Are you living a life of deception, or are you just not fully present in our relationship?
Doesn't always own just a place to stay
You don't always stay in one place for long
So let's just stop and rewind
Let's take a step back and reassess our relationship
Before I lose my mind
Before I become overwhelmed by your secrets and lies
Before I don't wanna hear you say
Before I become so disenchanted with you that I don't want to hear anything you have to say
It's the worst of our types that go
It's the worst kind of people who leave relationships
You tear apart my mind
Your secrets and lies cause me great mental distress
And make me wonder where you are
I can't help but think you are somewhere you shouldn't be
But I still remember everything
I can recall all the good times we had but know they don't make up for your current behavior
That happened before dawn
These memories are from a simpler time before our current problems began
I'm begging you for honesty
I'm pleading with you to finally tell me the truth
And all you're spitting out are lies
You continue to deceive me with dishonest words
Do you even have an alibi?
Do you have a reasonable explanation for your behavior?
Oh, give it up, give it up, Jessica
Please stop hiding your secrets and lying to me, Jessica
All the secrets you keep inside
Your hidden behavior and intentions
Mean to more to me
Your behavior has more of an impact on me than you know
You mean more to me than you'll know
You are important to me, but your secrets and lies are hurting our relationship

God damn - why are they the greatest band ever? Been following Quietdrive since their first album, still waiting to be disappointed - but I don't see it ever happening. Can't wait till they come to Nor Cali, I will definitely be seeing them live.
