- Jamais LyricsI told you before that this is the end
you'll never work in this town again
jamais
you think you know me, that's your trouble
never fall in love with a body double
jamais
i stick to the script and i go with the plan
and frankly my dear i never gave a damn
jamais
never even scratched the surface,
though you're picking through my bones
it's the performance of a lifetime
it's my only starring role
your leading lady needs direction
your leading lady sleeps alone
you got the surface and substance confused
don't believe what you read in those interviews
jamais
i can act like i'm dumb, i can act like i'm clever
you thought that was me ? oh well, i never
jamais
so just what is real and just what is fake ?
well in life you never get to do a second take
jamais
never even scratched the surface
though you're picking through my bones
though the names and dates are altered
the story's still my own
the performance of a lifetime
my only starring role
in a cast of many thousands
no one's essential to the plot
every extra, every superstar
must now vacate the lot
in the performance of a lifetime
i make the final cut
you'll never work in this town again
jamais
you think you know me, that's your trouble
never fall in love with a body double
jamais
i stick to the script and i go with the plan
and frankly my dear i never gave a damn
jamais
never even scratched the surface,
though you're picking through my bones
it's the performance of a lifetime
it's my only starring role
your leading lady needs direction
your leading lady sleeps alone
you got the surface and substance confused
don't believe what you read in those interviews
jamais
you thought that was me ? oh well, i never
jamais
so just what is real and just what is fake ?
well in life you never get to do a second take
jamais
never even scratched the surface
though you're picking through my bones
though the names and dates are altered
the story's still my own
the performance of a lifetime
my only starring role
in a cast of many thousands
no one's essential to the plot
every extra, every superstar
must now vacate the lot
in the performance of a lifetime
i make the final cut

When we consider what the writer meant by those haunting lines, the tune 'Jamais' of Charlotte Gainsbourg is an inquiry into the intricacies of identity and performance, showing the indistinct lines between fact and fiction. The words figuratively contemplate the concept of living life as a show, where the real self might be concealed behind different roles and personalities and the need of being true is stressed in a world that is full of falsehoods. The lyrics of Jamais are mainly about the themes of reflection, angst, solitude, heartbreak, and doom. Besides, the melody underlines the discussion about the self and how it is perceived, the act of being oneself versus the act of performing, and the duality of isolation and loneliness. The song communicates through its lyrics the themes of love and personal identity that might be considered unsuitable for kids without the guidance of parents, but it does not have any strong language, violence, or adult content that would require a higher rating.
