Gravitate
Rocco de Luca & the Burden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm jealous of the world
The world is jealous of me
I see the way that it turns
Dumb and beautiful

I'm jealous of the sun
The way it shines on me
It's smiles from ear to ear
It's coming close now

Gravitate
Gravitate
Gravitate

I'm jealous of your legs
The color of your car
Your picture on the page
Dumb and beautiful

Gravitate
Gravitate
Gravitate

It's coming close now
It's getting close now
1, 2, 3 yeah, yeah, yeah

Gravitate

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rocco Deluca & The Burden's "Gravitate" seem to express a sense of jealousy and longing. The singer is jealous of the world and the way it turns, perhaps referencing the way that things seem to come easily to some people. Despite this envy, the world is also jealous of the singer, which suggests that there may be something unique or special about them that others aspire to.


The second verse shifts to focus on the singer's jealousy of the sun and the way it shines on them. The sun is often associated with warmth and positivity, but the singer's jealousy hints at a sense of dissatisfaction or emptiness that they are trying to fill. The final verse brings the focus back to another person, with the singer expressing jealousy of "your legs" and "your picture on the page." Again, there is a sense of longing or envy, but it is tempered by an underlying appreciation of the beauty of the object of desire.
