kit

Julie’s song 'kit' delves into the complexities of emotional relationships, particularly focusing on the themes of communication, jealousy, and the struggle to maintain connection. The recurring phrase 'Color me grey' suggests a state of emotional ambiguity or numbness, where things are neither black nor white. This grey area represents the uncertainty and confusion that often accompany strained relationships. The singer questions why their partner lashes out when they are apart and why they can't simply reassure them that everything is okay. This highlights a longing for clear communication and emotional stability.

The lyrics 'Come into my house, she wants to catch me when I fall' indicate a desire for support and understanding. However, the singer admits to knowing what they did wrong but hasn't had the chance to communicate it. This suggests a sense of guilt and the burden of unresolved issues. The imagery of staring at the ceiling and being woken up to 'tag along' implies a restless mind and the feeling of being dragged into situations without control. The song captures the internal conflict of wanting to be understood while grappling with personal shortcomings.

Jealousy is another prominent theme in 'kit'. The lines 'Jealousy, that's on me, I hate this feeling, can’t you see?' reveal the singer's self-awareness of their own insecurities. This jealousy strains the relationship, leading to a cycle of emotional highs and lows. The repeated plea for the partner to follow and the subsequent 'kiss and tell and watch me leave' encapsulates the push-and-pull dynamic often seen in tumultuous relationships. Julie's 'kit' is a poignant exploration of the emotional rollercoaster that comes with love, highlighting the need for better communication and understanding to navigate through the grey areas of relationships.
