Jaded
Whoop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess itu0027s true when you let go of dead weight you become something new
So I took the time to pick apart the pieces that I gave to you
I guess it's funny my dependency held on to the worst parts (of you)
And I donu0027t mean to put you down
Never been one to shed blood for the crown
Guess I was just a little jealous of how
No I donu0027t mean to put you down
Never been one to shed blood for the crown
Guess I was just a little jealous of how..
So I wrote a rhyme, a piece of art, dedicate to the one I knew
I guess its shallow, how we never dove in deeper into shades of blue
Now i realize you only ever held me back from seeing the truth
I know you'll never understand cuz you're too busy focusing on you
And I donu0027t mean to put you down
Never been one to shed blood for the crown
Guess I was just a little jealous of how to love yourself
No I donu0027t mean to put you down
Never been one to shed blood for the crown
Guess I was just a little jealous of how..
Well shit, honestly honesty might be the hardest thing
Next to loving you and letting you know
That my feelings were real
I had to let them go
I had to pick ‘em, put ‘em down, take control
Well just let me feel everything that Iu0027m in
And I guess we can run, we can find our own way our own way and our own vibe
The lyrics to "Jaded" by Whoop delve into the emotions of a person who has moved on from a toxic relationship. The song opens with the singer acknowledging the positive changes they have undergone since letting go of the "dead weight" of their ex, including a new physique and new chains (symbolizing personal growth and material possessions). They reflect on how they gave so much of themselves to the relationship, even holding onto the worst aspects of their ex, highlighting their own dependency.
In the chorus, the singer admits to feeling a mix of emotions towards their ex. They express not wanting to belittle or criticize them, as they have never been one to fight for power or superiority. However, they admit to feeling a tinge of jealousy towards their ex's ability to free themselves and discover self-love. It implies that they were envious of their ex's independence and ability to move on.
The second verse reveals that the singer has written a song about their relationship, acknowledging that they never delved deeply into the emotional aspects of their connection. They come to the realization that their ex only held them back from seeing the truth and understanding the depth of their feelings. The singer acknowledges that their ex will never comprehend this, as they are too self-absorbed.
In the final verse, the singer confronts the difficulty of being honest, both with themselves and with their ex. They mention that being honest is challenging, but it pales in comparison to loving their ex and expressing their true emotions. They emphasize the need to let go of their feelings and take control of their own life. The song concludes with a hopeful sentiment, suggesting that the singer and their ex can both find their own paths and vibes without being tied to each other.
Overall, "Jaded" explores the complexities of moving on from a toxic relationship, acknowledging feelings of jealousy, dependence, and the difficulty of honesty and self-expression.
