Villain
jayya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been running in circles and I'm trying not to give in
You can't just hear me out no you never want to listen
You paint me so bad I've been feeling like the villain
Don't want to fight, can you give me a minute
I've been running in circles and I'm trying not to give in
You can't just hear me out no you never want to listen
You paint me so bad I've been feeling like the villain
Would I lose it again somehow
Guess it's too late to stay
And I'm too late to change
And I knew you would say that I
Fucked up and I know I'm not good enough
Talk so much so from now on I'll be shutting up
Doing too much need to take it down a notch
I know you love to watch
I know you love to watch your plans unfold
Thinking that you got it all under control
You try to hide it like you think I don't know
I just keep it quiet I don't really want to show
Because I don't want to
Don't want to fight, can you give me a minute
I've been running in circles and I'm trying not to give in
You can't just hear me out no you never want to listen
You paint me so bad I've been feeling like the villain
Don't want to fight, can you give me a minute
I've been running in circles and I'm trying not to give in
You can't just hear me out no you never want to listen
You paint me so bad I've been feeling like the villain
In "Villain," Jayya is expressing their frustration with a relationship where they don't feel heard or understood. They ask for a moment to be heard and express their feelings without fighting, but their partner refuses to listen and instead paints them as the bad guy. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes Jayya's desire for a break from the constant arguing and feeling like they're the villain in the situation. The lyrics also touch on the theme of regret and wondering if things would be different if they had known what they know now.
The line "you paint me so bad I've been feeling like the villain" is a metaphor for how the partner's negative portrayal of Jayya is affecting their self-image. It's common in toxic relationships for one person to gaslight and manipulate the other to make them doubt their own reality. Jayya acknowledges that they may have messed up in the past, but they feel like they're never given a chance to communicate or make amends. In the second verse, they vow to be more mindful of their words and actions, but they also acknowledge that their partner enjoys having control and manipulating situations to their advantage.
Overall, "Villain" is a relatable and introspective song about the struggles of communication and maintaining healthy relationships. It sheds light on the damaging effects of constant arguments and feeling like you're always the one at fault. Jayya's vulnerable lyrics and heartfelt delivery make this a standout track.
