Jaded
Walls of Jericho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While the pain in my heart reminds me of time spent and forgotten.
Alone but capable to see through your shit,
I will bloom into what's unexpected of me,
Because your fucked up reality has driven me to this insanity.
How do you like me now?
That what I thought.
Disappear.
At least you can do is play the part, the one I wrote for you.
Now time is wasting, and I have ruined many makeup days on your behalf.
Another day will end, at least there's tomorrow
The opening line of "Jaded" by Walls of Jericho paints a picture of someone who is unwilling to engage with the world around them due to emotional pain. This individual is shutting down and isolating themselves from their surroundings. The second line provides insight into the reason for this behavior - they are haunted by memories of time spent and forgotten. This could be a reference to a failed relationship or another significant event that has left a lasting mark.
However, despite being alone and in pain, the individual still has a sense of clarity that allows them to see through the facade of others. This clarity gives them hope that they can grow and evolve beyond their current situation. This is emphasized in the line, "I will bloom into what's unexpected of me," which suggests a desire for personal growth and development.
At the same time, the individual feels driven to madness by the screwed-up reality that they see around them. This is a reference to the hypocrisy and selfishness that seems to be rampant in the world. They are frustrated by the fact that they are able to see through these facades, yet others are unable to do so. The song ends on an ominous note, with a call for those who have hurt the individual to disappear.
Line by Line Meaning
So I shut my self down again, and wipe away my surroundings.
I retreat into myself and block out the world as a coping mechanism.
While the pain in my heart reminds me of time spent and forgotten.
The hurt inside me makes me reflect on and miss the past.
Alone but capable to see through your shit,
Despite being by myself, I can still recognize your manipulative behavior.
I will bloom into what's unexpected of me,
I will surprise others and myself by growing and changing in unexpected ways.
Because your fucked up reality has driven me to this insanity.
Your distorted view of the world has negatively affected my mental health.
How do you like me now?
I challenge you to see how much I have changed and grown since you knew me before.
That what I thought.
I expected you to be unimpressed with me.
Disappear.
I want you to leave my life and disappear.
Melt into the cracks I created for you,
I want you to become absorbed by the negative situation that I have created for you.
At least you can do is play the part, the one I wrote for you.
You have to accept your role in the negative situation I have created.
Now time is wasting, and I have ruined many makeup days on your behalf.
I have lost time and opportunities trying to fix things for you.
Another day will end, at least there's tomorrow.
Despite my frustration, there's comfort in knowing that there's always another day to start anew.
