Look What You've Done

The Regretful Aftermath of Misguided Actions

Jet's song 'Look What You've Done' is a poignant reflection on the consequences of one's actions and the regret that follows. The lyrics suggest a scenario where someone's actions have led to disappointment and the loss of respect from others. The repeated line 'You've made a fool of everyone' indicates that the subject of the song has deceived or let down those around them, possibly through selfish or thoughtless behavior.

The request to 'Take my photo off the wall if it just won't sing for you' metaphorically speaks to the idea of removing one's presence or memory from someone's life because it no longer holds the same value or joy. This line, coupled with 'all that's left has gone away,' suggests a sense of finality and the dissolution of what once was. The song captures the feeling of wanting to reclaim one's perspective ('Give me back my point of view') after being influenced or overshadowed by someone else's decisions.

The song's structure, with its simple yet powerful chorus, emphasizes the central theme of disillusionment and the realization that actions have consequences. The melancholic tone of the music complements the lyrics, creating an atmosphere of introspection and the acknowledgment of a hard lesson learned. Jet, known for their garage rock and hard rock influences, delivers this message with a blend of raw emotion and melodic instrumentation, making 'Look What You've Done' a memorable track that resonates with listeners who have experienced similar situations of regret and the desire for redemption.
