Jealous Lover
The Kilians Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a jealous lover
Who's got to hurt the sun
Who's looking for a cover
But finding just a gun

I'm a jealous lover
Who's blood is still disproving
Like a shaking glover
Not to be a spoilt king'

I'm a jealous lover
Who's got a hope for fire




So go and get another
Who won't be any...

Line by Line Meaning

I'm a jealous lover
I am possessive and insecure in my relationship


Who's got to hurt the sun
I feel the need to assert my dominance and control over things that are seemingly untouchable


Who's looking for a cover
I am searching for ways to hide my jealousy and insecurity


But finding just a gun
However, I end up finding ways to act out aggressively towards others instead of properly addressing my own emotions


Who's blood is still disproving
My emotions are contradicting my logic, and I can't seem to find a way to reconcile the two


Like a shaking glover
I am like a boxer who is unable to control their hands, but instead of throwing punches, I am lost in my own emotions


Not to be a spoilt king'
I don't want to come across as entitled or selfish, but I can't help my jealous tendencies


Who's got a hope for fire
I still have a glimmer of hope that I can overcome my jealousy, but it feels like an impossible task


So go and get another
Instead of trying to change me, find someone who doesn't struggle with jealousy


Who won't be any...
...like me, a jealous lover who is struggling to control their emotions.
