LyricsJaded

Hey...Ja Ja Jaded
You got your mama's style
But you're yesterday's child to me

I love a song that has the guts to start off with a good old "Yo Mama" bust. However, I can think of a much better "Yo Mama" bust to start this song off. Tell me what you think.

Hey... Ja Ja Jaded
Yo mama's so ugly....
they push her face into dough to make gorilla cookies.
Hooah!

So jaded

What does it mean to be jaded anyway, huh? Well, I had my assistant look it up and according to her it means weary or tired. So why is this person so tired? Is it all the "Yo Mama" busts? Maybe. Defending your mothers honor can be quite draining. Especially if your mama is so fat she gets clothes in three sizes: extra large, jumbo, and oh-my-god-it's-coming-towards-us!
Hooah!

You think that's where it's at
But is that where it's supposed to be?

What, what!? What is "it"? (that kind of reminds me of a song). What is going on here? Where is what supposed to be? I am about as lost as this "it" thing Steven Tyler is singing about. Maybe Mr. Tyler is singing about another "Yo Mama" bust. Like this one; Yo mama's so fat that when I tried to drive around her, I ran out of gas.
Hooah!

You're gettin' it all over me
X- rated

Oh, I see "it" is some sort of sexy "thing" that gets "stuff" on a certain "person" . So that's why this "Jaded" person is so tired. It's because this person has some sort of sex object crammed up an orifice and maybe it's supposed to be there and maybe it's not. And I was thinking it was the "Yo Mama" busts. Hahaha, I am dumb.

There are still some questions that need to be answered before we can delve any deeper into this song. This song is about sex, we know that, but it doesn't sound like old Stevie is talking about the normal type of sex your mom and dad talk about. I mean... "you're getting "it" all over me"? That "it" sounds like it could be Mr. Semen. I believe what Steven is singing about is a homosexual experience he once had. Which is fine. More power to Steven Tyler is what I say. Go be gay!

My my baby blue
Yeah I been thinkin' about you
My my baby blue
Yeah you're so jaded
And I'm the one that jaded you

I think this has to be one of the most well written and lucid stanzas I have ever heard sung. Oh wait, no.... It's the exact antithesis of that. I'm not exactly sure what Aerosmith is trying to tell us here, but maybe they're making a point that rhyming two different words is a thing of pop music's historic, yet overly complex past. I look forward to the day when illiterates with vocabularies of six or seven words will be writing hit songs.

Hey j-j-jaded
In all it's misery
It will always be what I love and hated
And maybe take a ride to the other side we're thinkin' of
We'll slip into the velvet glove
And be jaded

When I hear this stanza sung I just can't help but laugh. "HAHAHA!", I laugh, "HA!" Let's just take a long look at these lyrics. As you can tell they don't fit together very well. The lyrics state that Mr. Tyler both loved and hated the misery of being jaded, or being with this jaded person which is fine. But then the song jumps to the subject of "rollin'" to some other side to "slip into the velvet glove". So, what is this velvet glove Steven is talking about? You will be happy to know that I have discovered what it is. The Velvet Glove is a role-playing community that, get this, pretends to be vampires and crap. Now you see why I laugh. Steve Tyler is a vampire.... oooohh! Hahahahahaha!

My my baby blue
Yeah I'm thinkin about you
My my baby blue
Yeah I'm so jaded
And baby I'm afraid of you

I know what you're thinking, "Haven't I heard this line before?". The answer is both yes and no. You will notice that a key line has been added to the end of this stanza; "And baby I'm afraid of you". Also "you're" has been changed to "I'm". Papa Roach showed us that changes between first, second, and third person are important to the meaning of a song. What do I think is going on here? I think that maybe Aerosmith in their haste to write and record a song in the five minutes of studio time allotted them forgot that this song was written in the second person and not the first. Or maybe the relationship this song is based on is just so awful that everyone involved becomes jaded. You know, kind of like the relationship this song and I have. I think, noting the final line, that the latter explanation makes the most sense.

Your thinking's so complicated
I've had it all up to here
But it's so overrated
Love and hated
Wouldn't trade it
Love me jaded

AHA! A break through. Now we know why this relationship is falling apart. Steven's partner is a thinker and he just can't handle it. However, it seems that he is willing to look past this thinking problem his partner has and work it out. Oh, what a great example of sacrifice and selflessness. If I was a marriage counselor I would use this song as a great example of how to make a relationship stand the test of time.

Hey j-j-jaded
There ain't no baby please
When I'm shootin the breeze with her
When everything you see is a blur
And ectasy's what you prefer

There are a lot of great lines in this song but this one has got to be my favorite. I just love a random drug reference and I always have. From Eric Claptons veiled reference to Cocaine ("Mama, you ain't got to be blue; Yeah yeah, why be blue; when the color of my car is blue; Cocaine is like angels in my nose.") to the Velvet Underground's obscure reference to Heroin (I'm livin' with you; here in this shoe; and I think I love you; and heroin is in my shoe). Now I can add this happy song to my list. Aerosmith, I love you!

My my baby blue
Yeah I'm talkin' about you
My my baby blue
Yeah I've been thinkin' about you
My my baby blue
Yeah you're so jaded
Baby
Jaded
Baby
You're so jaded
'Cause I'm the one that jaded you

And the song comes to a close. Aerosmith wrapped it up nicely I think... just like a dime bag of marijuana.
