Song meaning of Jealousy by Rex Orange County

Hey there, music lovers! Today, I wanna chat about a song that really hit me in the feels - "Jealousy" by Rex Orange County. Let me tell ya, this song is like a rollercoaster of emotions, man.

So, the lyrics start off with "Jealousy is killin' me, it's too much to dismiss." And oh boy, ain't that the truth? Feeling jealous can really mess with your head, ya know? It's like you don't wanna die, but you also don't wanna live feeling all messed up inside. Rex really captures that struggle in such a raw way.

Then he goes on to sing about how he's missing someone and hoping they're doing okay. It's like he's torn between wanting to be with them and dealing with his own insecurities. The line "But, girl, when I act like this, it isn't fair, no" really got to me. It's like he knows he's not being his best self, but he can't help it when those feelings of jealousy creep in.

But then, there's this shift in the song where he starts talking about making a change and not letting jealousy get the best of him. He sings, "Why waste the time we have my dear, I'll make a change. No need for jealousy today." It's like a moment of clarity and determination, ya know? Rex is saying, "Hey, I wanna be better for you and for myself."

And that outro, man. "Goodnight." It's like a bittersweet ending, hoping for a peaceful night despite all the emotions swirling around.

Listening to "Jealousy" by Rex Orange County really made me think about how jealousy can mess with your head, but also how it's possible to overcome it with love and self-awareness. It's a beautiful song that captures the complexity of relationships and emotions. Give it a listen and let me know what you think!

Catch ya later, music fam!
