Jealousy
Zuckerbaby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When he's away
Daydream and celebrate
Why is she jealous of the sun
All covered up in glitter
In your world of make-believe
Delicious double-dare me Jealousy
She chews him up
He spits her out
No taste for the love parade
Tough luck hanging on the grapevine
But they try
Jealousy
No taste for the love parade
On and on we share
Jealousy
The lyrics to Zuckerbaby's song "Jealousy" explore the complexities of the titular emotion. The first stanza depicts a woman who "goes to pieces" when her partner is away and daydreams about their reunion. However, she is also "jealous of the sun," which could be interpreted as feeling envious of something that is always present and shining, unlike her relationship. The chorus then describes a world of make-believe and double dares, emphasizing the playful yet volatile nature of jealousy.
The following stanza takes a darker turn as it describes a tumultuous relationship where the man "chews [the woman] up" and "spits her out." There is "no taste for the love parade," implying that their love is not a happy or celebratory affair. Despite this, they still try to hold on to each other, with jealousy being an obstacle in their path. The final chorus repeats the word "jealousy" as if to hammer home the theme of the song.
Overall, the lyrics to "Jealousy" are open to interpretation and could represent any number of relationships. However, they paint a portrait of a complex emotional state that can both propel and hinder a couple's love for each other.
