The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Jealous Minds Think Alike" by the artist "You Me At Six"

In You Me At Six's song "Jealous Minds Think Alike", the lyrical protagonist comes across as a narcissistic and arrogant individual, obsessed with a girl who doesn't seem to reciprocate his feelings.

He boasts about his life story, considering it captivating, while simultaneously attempting to belittle the girl, claiming his own "flawlessness" in comparison. The phrase "from a bird's eye view, I'm watching you" emphasizes his sense of superiority and disdain for the object of his desire.

He mocks her, portraying her as a "headache" and scoffing at her past relationships ("you've got a whole line of boys you leave speechless"). At the same time, he recognizes his obsession ("you're a pain in the neck, you're taking all my time") but instead of self-reflection, he projects his insecurities onto the girl and those around him, believing that everyone envies his "happiness."

The protagonist oscillates between the desire to possess the girl ("you could be everything I need") and attempts to push her away ("you'll be the girl I don't call"). He creates an image of a suffering victim, convincing himself of his righteousness ("you've got it wrong"). The recurring phrase "you can be the ghost in my hallway" symbolizes his inability to forget the girl; she haunts his thoughts, even as he tries to appear indifferent.

Ultimately, the song showcases the destructive nature of jealousy and egotism, which prevent the protagonist from building healthy relationships.

I guess now is a good time to tell the truth

The pedigree I carry will swallow you.

But I am not what you are,

I'm flawless in every way.

Birds eye view,

I'm watching you.

Sad sad sight for the sore sore eyes

And a headache for the weakest of minds.

You've got the boys, the boys all tongue tied,

But I know they're wasting their time.

Go

Go

You can be the ghost in my hall

You can be the smile I don't want

I'll be the fly on your wall

You can be the distance in between

You can be everything I need

You'll be the girl I don't call

Oh just imagine what I thought

When I opened up that door

It was a million things to one.

And oh, just imagine what they'll think

When they see me lead you north.

Hell, they'll be losing sleep.

And you're wrong

Wrong

You can be the ghost in my hall

You can be the smile I don't want

I'll be the fly on your wall

You can be the distance in between

You can be everything I need

You'll be the girl I don't call

It's so wrong

So wrong

It's so wrong

You can be the ghost in my hall

You can be the smile I don't want

I'll be the fly on your

You can be the ghost in my hall

You can be the smile I don't want

I'll be the fly on your wall

You can be the distance in between

You can be everything I need

You'll be the girl I don't call

[2x:]

Jealous minds they think alike

You're a damn damn tie,

you're wasting all my time.

You are in love.
