The days i go to work, i turn the TV on and listen to Jump Start on VH1. First time i heard this song, weeks ago, i was in the bathroom ... getting ready for work.... i thought, wow, song is beautiful.. and sad... i went to the bedroom to watch the video.
I was mesmerized, it gave me chills. I never heard of this talented young lady, and i wondered... does she know exactly what she is singing beautifully about? Does she truly, TRULY realize... that she is singing about the... narcissist.
Yes, there are many songs about the narcissist. But this one is spot on. The video is spot on....so eerie, so deep in sadness, so dark... just like the narcissist. The male actor in this video had me fasinated... so spot on.
BRAVO to whoever wrote this song and wrote the video. We need to be aware that these evil imps DO exist. They are real, they are out there craving to find someone to screw with, to torture. Impossible to believe. SO DAMN IMPOSIBLE to believe, especially to young people (my heart breaks) who are so trusting and want to believe so badly, that the one treating them so badly... don't really mean it.
If something doesn't seem quite right in your relationship, and you are constantly nervous, scared. You have a narcissist. And they get off on your emotional pain.
They don't look like the actor in this video... he is doing an EXCELLENT job at portraying HOW a narcissist looks like in his true self. What we see, in real life, is the happy, regular.. guy. That's who he wants us to fall in love with... then... bam... something just isn't right.
I don't want to scare anyone from having a relationship... but please everyone, just be aware. Be kind, be loving, be yourself :) have fun... but please be aware of these maggots.
Exactly right. I thought the exact same thing. Not all of us have had the tragic experience of getting involved with a narcissist.
ReplyDeleteSO true! There is a great blog for people recovering from narcissistic abuse; I am one of them- narcissist free forum. We have been talking quite a bit about this song on there. I've heard several songs about narcissists- Carrie Underwood has at least four I can think of, but none cut a nerve like Jar of Hearts. This song and Rolling in the Deep came out at just the right time to help me.
ReplyDeleteactually, this song IS about a narcissist; that is, the person singing the song. Time to grow up and get over yourself, and instead of singing about how hurt you are and how awful the other person is and how they should *feel awful forever because they hurt the special little flower that is you* , perhaps you should reflect on how you are the only one responsible for how you feel and *what the hell were you doing in a relationship where you let someone do that to you in the first place?* get some respect for yourself man! get some pride! And mostly, quit emoing the place up with your sadness and go out and get laid. Christ, this is the worst song ever written. Even lyrically! “you’re gonna catch a cold/from the ice inside your soul”? Are you kidding me?
