Lady of the Sunshine
Robin Schulz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jack jumped right over the candle stick
To a flame he chose had a name called hell
Where the devils child drank blood and was always well
Jack lived simple with his lady Jill
Till he come on home his heart she stole
He caught her messing with another man
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack jumped right over the candle stick
To a flame he chose had a name called hell
Where the devils child drank blood and was always well
Jack lived simple with his lady Jill
Till he come on home his heart she stole
He caught her messing with another man
So he got his gun and shot them down
The lyrics to Robin Schulz's song Lady of the Sunshine are dark and tell the story of Jack and Jill, although it's a different version we know. The song describes Jack jumping over a candlestick and then choosing to go to hell, where he encounters the devil's child who always drank blood and was always well. It seems as though Jack had a fascination with danger and chose to venture into a dark and dangerous place, where he was ultimately consumed by it.
The lyrics then switch to Jack's relationship with his lady Jill - who he lived a very simple life with until he caught her cheating with another man. That's when Jack reached his breaking point and he shot them both down with his gun in a fit of jealousy and rage. The lyrics highlight the downward spiral of Jack's life, starting with his fascination with danger and ultimately ending in a tragedy due to his jealous nature.
Overall, the lyrics tell a cautionary tale about the dangers of obsession and the consequences of our actions when pushed to the brink. It is an interesting take on the classic nursery rhyme, and the haunting melody only adds to the eerie undertones of the song.

Corrected lyrics:
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack jumped right over the candle stick
See, that flame he jumped had a name called Hell
Where the devils child drank blood from his old man's well
