Jennifer
Sleeping Wolf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My work of art
Trapped under your spell
Got missing your stars
But you were just a poison down my spine
Caught in your distortion, blurred the lines
I can feel the venom
Stoppin' my heart
Jennifer
Spinning a web
Spinning your Lies
And all of the mazes in your mind
No where to run
No where to hide
Just tell me I'm all you need tonight
Your mouth is fire hell
When will I learn
Oh oh Jennifer
Couldn't see how viscious
You really are
Weaving your deceptions
Counting your cards
Maybe if I traveled back in time
I wouldn't be a victim of your crime
And all your wild madness
Wouldn't be ours
Oh oh
Jennifer
Spinning a web
Spinning your Lies
And all of the mazes in your mind
No where to run
No where to hide
Just tell me I'm all you need tonight
Your mouth is fire hell
When will I learn
Oh oh Jennifer
Jennifer
Now I know I see you comin'
Now I know I see you comin'
Now I know I see you comin'
I better start runnin'
Running
Jennifer
Spinning a web
Spinning your Lies
And all of the mazes in your mind
No where to run
No where to hide
Just tell me I'm all you need tonight
Your mouth is fire hell
When will I learn
Oh oh Jennifer
Oh oh oh Jennifer
The song Jennifer by Sleeping Wolf talks about the artist's experience with a woman who he thought was perfect and his work of art. He thought he was under her spell and that he was missing her stars. However, he soon found out that she was just a poison down his spine. He felt the venom stopping his heart, caught in her distortion and blurred lines. He realizes that the woman named Jennifer is spinning a web of lies and that he is trapped in a maze with no way out. He desperately asks her to tell him he is all she needs tonight, even though he knows her mouth is a hell of fire. He realizes that he should have seen her viciousness before, that she was constantly weaving deceptions and counting her cards. He wishes he can travel back in time and that her wild madness wouldn't be theirs. Finally, he knows he sees her coming and he better start running.
The lyrics of this song convey the artist's emotions and his realization that he was trapped in a relationship with a woman who was not what she seemed to be. The way he describes Jennifer painting a picture of a woman who is cunning and manipulative. The artist realizes that he was caught in her web of lies, and it will be difficult to escape. The chorus of the song is meant to highlight how vulnerable he feels, being trapped with no way out.
Line by Line Meaning
I thought that you were perfect
I believed that you were flawless
My work of art
My masterpiece
Trapped under your spell
Incarcerated by your magic
Got missing your stars
I lost sight of the qualities that made you shine
But you were just a poison down my spine
You were a toxic influence on my life
Caught in your distortion, blurred the lines
Your lies confused me and made reality hard to distinguish
I can feel the venom
I can sense the poison
Stoppin' my heart
Causing my heart to cease beating
Jennifer
The person in question's name
Spinning a web
Devising an intricate plan to deceive
Spinning your Lies
Telling falsehoods with ease
And all of the mazes in your mind
Your complicated thought patterns and secrets
No where to run
No escape from your schemes
No where to hide
No way to elude your grasp
Just tell me I'm all you need tonight
Pretend to need me just for tonight
Your mouth is fire hell
What you say burns like hell
When will I learn
When will I wise up and stop believing your lies
Couldn't see how viscious
I was unable to detect how cruel you were
You really are
The kind of person you are underneath the webs you spun
Weaving your deceptions
Creating intricate webs of lies
Counting your cards
Planning strategically and accruing advantage
Maybe if I traveled back in time
If I could go back before I fell under your spell
I wouldn't be a victim of your crime
I wouldn't have been taken advantage of by you
And all your wild madness
Your craziness
Wouldn't be ours
Would not be part of my life
Now I know I see you comin'
I see what you're truly up to now
I better start runnin'
I should leave and run away

Is this like a sub channel or something? why is there no views? these guys are better then half the "big" shit out these days
When I first heard these guys I thought they were a massive group I just got into. Talent these days is wasted for those pretentious wankers with shitty hair cuts and twelvies followers.
