about
"Jaded" is the story of my struggles with toxic masculinity and self-destructive behaviour. I think it is an ode to all individuals who have lived with difficult emotions, hoping to feel better, and actively trying to feel better, while fighting invasive thoughts and society's pressure to always feel and look good.
Welcome to this new chapter in Jade Above's world.

LYRICS
Ouh-ouh-ouh
Oh yeah
Nothing’s going my way
Too proud to admit it
Mind’s blowing up,
Been like this for a minute (But no way)
Not the time nor the setting
Never felt worse but I’m fronting (Been riding the wave)
For so long I’ve forgotten
Try to keep it real, keep my head high above it
Done wrong by my feelings
Summer rains turned into blizzards
There’s something wrong with
The way I’m feeling
I’m acting up, I’m escalating
My heart screams out, my thoughts are ringing
I-I-ay-ay
Got so much to feel, little to say
My world is at odds, with so much at stake
Can’t find the words or put on a face
I’m all talked out a little too jaded
Keep your ego in check,
Too proud to admit it
Life’s been on pause, been like this for a minute (Stay away)
Too close to my ceiling
Can’t say I’m high, but I’m breathing
Been minding my game
For so long I’ve forgotten
Falls can be steep, if you trip you’re forgotten
No rest for the wicked, cities can fall in a season
There’s something wrong with
The way I’m feeling
I’m acting up, I’m escalating
My heart screams out, my thoughts are ringing
I-I-ay-ay
Got so much to feel, little to say
My world is at odds, with so much at stake
Can’t find the words or put on a face
I’m all talked out a little too jaded
I’m all talked out a little too jaded
I’m all talked out a little too jaded
I’m all talked out a little too jaded
Huh-huh-huh
