Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like a growing seed, this jealousy
No we need believe, she could be me
Cause she got you now, like I assumed
Got me all caught up- up- up

I keep walking in circles
Wanna put you up, but i can't dough
Try to forget cause my heart knows
That you're not coming back, but, you'r not coming back

Say
This is one thing I want to know
You dig the places, we used to go
You look at me, but you got no words
Can't you tell just, how much it hurts
At the end, it did not take to
Thought that i can, now and i blame you
We were one, now it's just me
All caught up in this jealousy
jealousy

Can run from this pain of loving you
Injected in my vain, addicted to
I got nothing now, you win i loose
Can find my way out

I keep walking circles
wanna put up but i can off
try to forget cause my
that you never coming back X2

I got your voice on repeat in my head
Together forever yeah that's what you said




Took back your promise and gave it to her
Evert word every word

Overall Meaning

In Tal's song Jealousy, the lyrics describe the feelings of jealousy that arise after a breakup. The jealousy is likened to a growing seed, something that gradually intensifies over time. The singer of the song is struggling with the fact that her ex-partner has moved on with someone else, and she is finding it difficult to accept. She acknowledges that she assumed her ex would move on, but it doesn't make it any easier for her to deal with. The phrase "got me all caught up" suggests that she is feeling tangled and trapped in her own emotions.


The chorus suggests that the singer is trying to move on from the breakup, but is finding it difficult to let go of the memories. She keeps walking in circles, a metaphor for the way that her thoughts keep returning to her ex. She wants to put him behind her, but feels that she can't. The lines "you're not coming back, but you're not coming back" emphasise the sense of loss and confusion that the singer is feeling.


The second verse highlights the painful reminders of the relationship that are all around. The singer reminds her ex that they used to go to certain places together, and wonders why he can look at her without saying anything. She is still hurt by the breakup and can't understand why he didn't want to be with her anymore. The bridge highlights the way that the singer is struggling to move on. She is addicted to the pain of loving him and feels lost without him, but acknowledges that he has moved on and she hasn't.
