Half Jack Lyrics Artist(Band):The Dresden Dolls
i'm half my mother's daughter a fraction's left up to dispute the whole collection half off the price they're asking in the halfway house of ill repute half accidental half pain full instrumental i have a lot to think about you think they're joking? you have to go provoke him... i guess it's high time you found out it's half biology and half corrective surgery gone wrong 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'm half jill and half jack two halves are equal a cross between two evils it's not an enviable lot but if you listen you'll learn to hear the difference between the halves and the half nots and when i let him in i feel the stitches getting sicker i try to wash him out but like she say, "the blood is thicker..." i see my mother in my face but only when i travel i run as fast as i can run but jack comes tumbling after and when i'm brave enough and find a clever way to kick him out and i'm so high not even you and all your love could bring me down on 83rd he never found the magic words to change this fact: i'm half jill and half jack i'm halfway home now half hoping for a showdown cause i'm not big enough to house this crowd it might destroy me but i'd sacrifice my body if it meant i'd get the jack part out see!see! jack!jack! run!run! jack!jack! run!run! jack!jack! run!run! jack!jack! see!see! jack!jack! run!jack!jack!run! run!see! jack!jack! see!run! run!see! see!run! jack!jack! see!run! jak!jack! run!run! jack!jack! jack!see! run!jack! see!run! jack!see! run!jack!jack!run! run!jack!jack!run!

Review about Half Jack Half-Jack | Reviewer: frankie | 8/11/2008 For My Father | Reviewer: Edith Kyle | 8/7/2008 I don't know about the interpretations of this song but i just wanted to help out by saying that this is definately about her father and not a relationship with a lover as this song was dedicated to Amanda's father. On the Dresden Dolls website in the lyrics for this song it says "For my father" at the top under the name. Lovers? | Reviewer: Kara | 8/4/2008 Perhaps, this is a song about a lover. Jack and Jill are known as lovers, not simply childhood "friends." So, maybe the verses after the initial are about being lovers and having broken up, etc. A lot of times, when you're with someone for a long time, you do become half of them. You know? " and when i'm brave enough and find a clever way to kick him out and i'm so high not even you and all your love could bring me down on 83rd he never found the magic words to change this fact: i'm half jill and half jack" Maybe this song is about wanting herself back. As I said before, when you are with someone a very long time, you often mold into eachother and you are whole. Also, maybe the reference to her mother could be a comparison of her mother's relationships. The relationship could have been an abusive/bad relationship to have been in, and her mother could have been involved in abusive/bad relationships as well. Pills/corrective surgery could be a reference to depression or bipolar disorder. My personal analysis of this is that it is a story of lovers gone awry, an abusive relationship, and finding herself without her counterpart, "jack." Telling him to flee (run, jack, run.) is a warning-- she's angry. Haha. It's definitely about her father | Reviewer: MoTrubble | 7/22/2008 Even though there are some lyrics that are confusing: "it's half biology and half corrective surgery gone wrong" and the reference to pills that could take it back( RU38? ). I think the line "but i'd sacrifice my body if it meant i'd get the jack part out" sums up how much she hates the part of her that is her father. I didn't think of that - Good Idea Though! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/27/2007 The thing about a horrible father-daughter relationship is a really interesting interpretation. I like that - I didn't think of that before. But it is pretty obvious once you start looking for it. I couldn't see why there'd be any reason to write seriously about a botched transgender option - I never thought it was about that. Not in a literal sense. The first thing I made me think of when I heard it was actually a kind of feminist thing. About not being society's stereotypical girly-girl, but the negative aspects of having to be a bit masculine to keep your credibility. How you can't just give in and be a 'soft' female and still keep your self-respect. I think the father-daughter thing's more plausible, though. :) love it! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/8/2007 i adore this song! however, i do not think it is necessary to analyse the song. it means whatever you want it to mean. to me it is about the father/daughter thing, but that is because of my relationship with my father. whatever the meaning, the dresden dolls are absolutely fantastic! this is my favourite song at the moment! 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 Review By Pages: 1 2 Review the song Half Jack The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics. | | ||||||||||||
