Wicked Love
Sara Bareilles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You aught me some fireflies
Told me their names
And how much they love their life in a jar
You twist around me like vines
You rub the stars in my bright eyes
Then you sold me a future
From the ones you had in the trunk of your car
You said I think too much
You said I always mess it up
It was so easy to believe
I've always said the same things
Stay out, honey, I can see you're wicked
And I don't want your wicked love
Don't need what makes me feel addicted
I don't want your wicked love
Stay out, stay out
I don't want your wicked love
Stay out, stay out
I don't want your wicked, wicked
Wicked love
You thought I didn't notice
You had me caught like a firefly
I'd abandoned my flight
To be crawling around with these wings
But I won't forget this moment (wait until you see)
And how mighty the truth can be
How her hammer and nails
Chisel beauty from grotesque things
You say I think too much
Tell me I always mess it up
Well, break the glass and see
If the fireflies agree
Stay out, honey, I can see you're wicked
And I don't want your wicked love
Don't need what makes me feel addicted
I don't want your wicked love
Stay out, stay out
I don't want your wicked love
Stay out, stay out
I don't want your wicked love
I don't want your wicked love
Don't need what makes me feel addicted
I don't want your wicked, wicked
Wicked love
Wait until you see
How mighty the truth can be
Like an ocean of light
It's a sky filled with fireflies
The lyrics of Sara Bareilles's song "Wicked Love" speak about the toxic nature of a relationship that could be addictive and damaging to one's health. The opening lines describe a seemingly romantic moment where the partner pours the singer a glass of wine, captures fireflies, and tells their names, and their love for life inside the jar. However, as the song progresses, the underlying toxicity of the partner becomes apparent. The partner twists the singer around like vines and sells a fake future from the trunk of their car.
The chorus of the song holds the key message to deter the partner. The singer warns the partner to stay out and that she doesn't want their wicked love. This love is the type that is addictive and could lead to the singer's downfall. The final lines echo that the singer is better off without this wicked love, and the truth at the end is more powerful than the partner's false promises. The song is a warning sign to keep away from people who could drag us down, no matter how charming or romantic they seem at first.
Line by Line Meaning
Pour my glass of wine
You gave me a drink to ease my mind
You aught me some fireflies
You captured fireflies for me
Told me their names
You introduced me to the fireflies
And how much they love their life in a jar
You convinced me that the fireflies enjoy being trapped
You twist around me like vines
You entangle yourself with me
You rub the stars in my bright eyes
You make me feel special
Then you sold me a future
You made promises for the future
From the ones you had in the trunk of your car
Based on a plan you've already come up with
You said I think too much
You criticize my way of thinking
You said I always mess it up
You criticize my actions
It was so easy to believe
It was easy to believe your criticisms
I've always said the same things
I often express the same thoughts
Stay out, honey, I can see you're wicked
You are not good for me
And I don't want your wicked love
I do not want your negative affection
Don't need what makes me feel addicted
I don't want something that makes me feel dependent
You thought I didn't notice
You underestimated my intelligence
You had me caught like a firefly
You trapped me like a firefly
I'd abandoned my flight
I gave up my freedom
To be crawling around with these wings
To be limited in my movement
But I won't forget this moment (wait until you see)
I will remember this situation
And how mighty the truth can be
The truth can be powerful
How her hammer and nails
How truth and honesty can transform things
Chisel beauty from grotesque things
Create something beautiful from something ugly
Well, break the glass and see
Challenge what you believe to be true
If the fireflies agree
If those who you trusted would agree with you
Stay out, stay out
Stay away
I don't want your wicked love
I do not want your negative affection
I don't want your wicked love
I do not want your negative affection
Don't need what makes me feel addicted
I don't want something that makes me feel dependent
I don't want your wicked, wicked
I do not want your negative affection
Wait until you see
Just wait and see
How mighty the truth can be
How powerful the truth can be
Like an ocean of light
A beautiful, vast expanse
It's a sky filled with fireflies
A beautiful sight

This is so different than the derivative stuff you hear today. It almost transports you to a different place, a different time.
