Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If it don't feel good
Turn your head
Turn your head
If it don't feel good
Turn your head
That I did to you
And think about the bad things
That I didn't do, that I didn't do
That I didn't do, that I didn't do
Turn your head
If it don't feel good
Turn your head
If you don't wanna take it
Turn your head
If it don't feel good
Turn your head
If you don't wanna take it
Turn your head
If it don't feel good
Turn your head
If you don't wanna take it
Turn your head
If it don't feel good
Turn your head
If you don't wanna take it
You know, you know how
But you have to know
You know, you know how
But you have to know
You know, you know how
But you have to know
You know, you know how
But you have to know
You know, you know how
But you have to know
You know, you know how
But you have to know
You know, you know how
But you have to know
You know, you know how
But you have to know
Think about the good things
That I did to you
And think about the bad things
That I didn't do, that I didn't do
That I didn't do
Turn your head
If it don't feel good
Turn your head
If you don't wanna take it
Turn your head
If it don't feel good
Turn your head
If you don't wanna take it
Turn your head
If it don't feel good
Turn your head
If you don't wanna take it
The lyrics of The Crystal Method's song "Jaded" seem to be advising someone who feels uncomfortable to turn their head away from something they don't want to see or experience. It's as if the singer is saying that if something doesn't feel good or if someone doesn't want to deal with it, they should not try to force themselves to. The repetition of the phrase "Turn your head" reinforces this idea, emphasizing that the person should act upon their instincts.
The following lines suggest that the person should also reflect on their experiences, perhaps in order to make a decision about whether to stay or leave a situation: "Think about the good things / That I did to you / And think about the bad things / That I didn't do". In other words, the person should weigh up the good and the bad, and make a decision based on that.
Overall, the song appears to be promoting the idea of self-care and putting oneself first when it comes to making decisions about what is right or wrong for them. The repetition of the phrase "You know, you know how / But you have to know" might suggest that the person already knows what to do, but needs to find the confidence to follow through.
