Jealousy
Vainerz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It chews on the mind
It's a painful feast
Let it out and it's going to grow to a storm
Killing the clear thoughts with its thorn
Jealousy
Jealousy
You burn down the sprout of faith
Jealousy
Mother of hate
An assertion as unexpected as the word
That was spoken to a stranger although unheard
Unneeded blind hate can spread the fire
In the end, both will be left behind as liars
Jealousy
Jealousy
Ugly sister of love
You burn down the sprout of faith
Jealousy
Mother of hate
Jealousy
Jealousy
You are the one no-one needs
You sow the pain with burning seeds
Jealousy
Jealousy
Ugly sister of love
You burn down the sprout of faith
Jealousy
Mother of hate
Jealousy
Jealousy
Ugly sister of love
You burn down the sprout of faith
Jealousy
Mother of hate
The lyrics of Vainerz's song Jealousy delve into the destructive nature of jealousy. The opening lines of the song liken the feeling to an untamed beast that devours one's mind, causing immense pain. The fire of jealousy grows into a storm, clouding clear thoughts with its thorn-like effect. The chorus repeats the line "Jealousy, ugly sister of love", driving home the point that jealousy is a negative emotion that is often born out of love or a lack thereof. The lyrics also highlight how jealousy can lead to a loss of faith and ultimately give birth to hate.
The second verse of the song further emphasizes the point that jealousy can lead to blind hate, often without any real justification. The lyric "An assertion as unexpected as the word that was spoken to a stranger although unheard" illustrates how jealousy can spiral out of control even in situations where it may not be warranted. In the end, the song makes it clear that jealousy only leads to the downfall of those who allow it to consume them.
