Jealous Again

The speaker admits to feeling jealous and seems to be trying to explain this feeling to someone close. Saying “I thought it time I let you in” suggests a wish to be honest and emotionally open, but “got no time” repeatedly pulls in the opposite direction. The voice sounds restless and troubled, yet it also insists on trust and says it is not afraid of losing faith in the other person.

Several images make the speaker’s state feel untidy and unsettled. “Dirty laundry” can suggest personal problems or shame that are being exposed, while “sending sickness down the line” implies that this distress may affect other people too. The smell of burning gasoline, along with feeling nervous and cold, creates a sense of danger or discomfort. “Losing face” means being embarrassed or losing respect, so the speaker claims not to fear looking foolish.

The lyrics leave the cause of the jealousy unclear: they do not say what the other person has done, or even exactly what the speaker suspects. The repeated questions about being crazy, proud, or lazy show uncertainty and self-doubt, not just blame. The speaker may want to confide but feel unable to do so; the final insistence that there is “no time” could be an excuse, a real barrier, or a way of avoiding vulnerability.
