Jealousy is the third track from Individual Thought Patterns, Death’s fifth album, and it is about the jealousy people feel towards others who have achieved more than them in life.
[Verse 1]
What do you want from me?
What is it you expect?
I have spoken my mind
From deep inside my soul
[Pre-Chorus]
Behind the eyes is a place
No one will be able to touch
Containing thoughts
That cannot be taken away or replaced
[Chorus]
You want what is not yours
Jealousy
You want what you cannot have
Jealousy
[Bridge]
Spiteful harsh words
It comes as no real surprise
Tell me what you are
[Guitar Solo: Chuck Schuldiner]
[Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque]
[Verse 2]
I cannot understand
How you seem to exist
On what people create
For you, good must turn bad
[Pre-Chorus]
Behind the eyes is a place
No one will be able to touch
Containing thoughts
That cannot be taken away or replaced
[Chorus]
You want what is not yours
Jealousy
You want what you cannot have
Jealousy
