Wow | Reviewer: Chasity | 11/6/2007 In my personal view I think its about friends. .. . Like Jack and Jill. . . Except Jill has left and Jack is tumbling after. Like I know I am having some trouble with my friend Robby. . . . Its like Im Jill and Hes Jack. . .but now Ive left him and hes tumbling after me. . . Like he depends on me. . . father | Reviewer: Kitty | 10/9/2007 being someone who has father issues i'd definitely agree with the people who say it's about her father. that's what it sounds like to me, and i've written songs along those lines. so just my idea. also she mentions her mother, which implies her father too. jack and jill= mom and dad | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/6/2007 well i love this song first of all. and i definately think it's about her father. not split personality disorder or being trans-gender. if you really look at the lyrics....it's obvious. half jack | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/17/2007 its about someone that is intersex or a hermaphrodite.. half jill half jack... a corrective surgery gone wrong half jack | Reviewer: georgi | 9/9/2007 i thought this song was about a personality disorder but the whole jack/jill thing throws me as jack usually isn't represented as evil or bad, just male. but everything else makes sense. example. "but i'd sacrifice my body if it meant i'd get the jack part out." this suggests she'd go on medication for said personality disorder to get keep it at bay, even though the medication fucks her up. also "you'll notice something funny if you hang around here for too long ago in some black hole before they had these pills to take it back." i think this means that if you hang round her for too long you'll pick up on her personality disorder and then she's talking about how in the past there wasn't medication available that could help her or something. it could be that she inherited the disorder from her father. that makes sense but seems unlikely. yeah. Brilliant Band | Reviewer: Andrea | 8/11/2007 I admit that I don't know what they lyrics of this song are really about but I can relate to them as being a person who has a horrible relation with her father and also as a bipolar person. Half corrective surgery gone wrong | Reviewer: Lara | 7/10/2007 I think that she's done a good job of leaving it open for interpretation. Personally, I'm thinking it's about her father. 'Like they say, "the blood is thicker..."' She doesn't like her father and doesn't want him to be a part of her, but he keeps hanging around or something like that. I love the way it ends on that sort of threatening note. Brilliant song. I'm So High Not Even You And All Your Love Could Bring Me Down... | Reviewer: Shelby | 5/27/2007 I originally thought it was about the split personalities like the first reviewer mentioned. Listening to the song I got the two halves, one hated over the other aspect of the song. I figured it was just her venting about being consumed by the wrong half, the bad half, the 'jack' to her 'jill'. But after watching the unreleased video and reading the lyrics, I'm kind of leaning toward the other opinion. 'Jack', the red jack, being her father. In the lyrics, the lines "I'm half my mother's daughter", and "it's half biology and half corrective surgery gone wrong", it gives me that melodramatic vibe, she resents part of herself because it reminds her of someone. And I think it's her father being that bad half when she says 'biology'. And in the video released on 'Fuck The Back Row' there are little vignettes of pictures, old pictures. All of men. In the beginning when the woman is directing her orchestra in front of her make-shift altar, and then at the end when another woman, Jill, is dying. At first, she's praising him. Singing and playing praise to his picture, to his belongings and then at the end, when 'jack' has begun eating his way out, she disgaurds him. Tosses him, pulls him away from her eyes so she can die in peace. I guess songs are to be made for the viewers to get out whatever aspects of the material they want. Think what you want, if it relates to you however which way it does, then fine. That's just the way I see it. xoxo, Shelby ? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/26/2007 I haven't really got a clue what it's about. But its a great song with some really clever lines so I dont really mind :) Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3
