Memphis May Fire - Jezebel

[@jeremymichaelnt]

I like how when the line "I can feel her staring at me" comes up at 3:08 it sort of fits the image of the artwork character fading with the eyes still very visible like it's staring at you. Very cool, i got a chill.

[@Macies1119]

His wife is gorgeous, and they seem so happy! Yesterday at warped he made a speech about how a lot of women don't have any self respect and don't keep in mind he's a married man before singing this song, I thought he was so right. He really cares about his wife so much, thats adorable :)

[@TheCosmicRealm3]

All women in 2025 are useless, worthless masculine Karens that just jump from guy to guy.

[@lpfan4life0904]

The way Matty links this song with The Haunted is so fucking awesome! There is just no other way of putting it. Second favorite song off this album next to Vices.

[@bofoishintaro6941]

2019,and I'm still hooked with this album

[@stephenloudermilk3223]

I LOVE THIS SONG!! Anger, frustration, struggle in two ways. One with the girl who wants attention by being overly seductive and manipulative, two with the internal battle all men have to face who want to fight lust. "We're all better without your disease."

[@itsgoingdown803]

I don't fight lust,, I lust after nothing or no one, I seek love and always have.

[@NitrousMonoxide]

Agreed. We get endless originality and genuine emotion from them that most bands don't work to achieve.

[@lovergirl5013]

i can't believe that someone (i saw like 3 comments) saying this is slutshaming.. he is a married man and a woman tried to seduce him, despite that fact that he's married, to get famous. this isn't slutshaming, this is calling out an issue

[@kevintheneck]

It is slut shaming. that being said, nothing wrong with that. 🤘

[@albertmendoza8330]

Courtney K Also, this song is based on a bible story. We. actually talked about Jezebel at my church recently and this song fits the description of that woman, just in today's context.

[@RaddyMartinez]

from 1:39 it is straight up slut-shaming.

[@Ryzrr]

?? it's not that the person wanted to use him to get famous, it's that he's famous, therefore desirable.

[@HauntingPeace]

Nothing wrong with slut shaming

[@Pakaganda2125]

"All dressed up in purple & pink, she'll do whatever it takes to get to VIP. She thinks everyone wants to see her down on her knees, but what she doesn't know is everyone just wants her to leave!" gets me every time best lyrics i've heard in a long time

[@Ben_Gates]

This album has all the qualities of the moral high ground and It's making me love Memphis May Fire because of it. I love, agree, and relate to every meaning behind every song. Thank you.

[@heavenlymettling1804]

best news of my life I get to see them on the vans warped tour in st.pete, fl!!! thank you god and dad!! best band in the world!! so hyped!!

[@chris_zmbe]

My favorite sound in the world is that vocal run where he goes "meeeEeeEeeeeE" 1:00

[@jamesg3569]

It took so many years to truly love every song they have put out and know the messages behind every one

[@tonyh2181]

This song has never been more relevant than now

[@TheCosmicRealm3]

Fresh into 2025 and it just continues to get worse with these thots

[@OfTheDevilToRemember]

I LOVE the ending climax of "Hello And Goodbye!" from The Haunted...because it seems that this song is a look at the woman FROM The Haunted, so that's really brilliant to include that reference and not just for the sake of lyrics but it's the same subject matter, Matty did it again

[@TheStrangeanimal]

words cannot express how much i love them. i'm not trying to sound cool but i've been listening to them since sleepwalking. it's good to see a talented band finally get the amount of credit they deserve

[@austingill3200]

Been listening to the album stream and all I can say is this will easily be without a doubt (LYRICALY) the best album of 2012. Love these guys, they've helped me pull through so damn much with their Art and Talent. Thank you guys, for everything. & Keep it up!

[@lulverine]

He isn't even slut shaming. He's married. So if any girl is trying to get with a married man then they're the lowest type.

[@freekingwasobi658]

Finally, someone said it.

[@lulverine]

***** Well I feel like either way he has a right to what he believes. If he thinks that girls who have casual sex with band members are doing something wrong then he has the right to believe that it's wrong in my opinion, but to me it seems like he's writing this about girls who know he's married and still try to hook up with him at shows.

[@karelpepels96]

***** Matty Mullins writes pretty much all the Memphis May Fire lyrics alone, so i doubt that someone else wrote this

[@bransondewitt8033]

***** This comment though /bow,

[@88corysxj]

Memphis may fire is one of few bands out there that actually get it. I hope they stay around for a long time

[@simeonconverse538]

I like the message in this song. It's not slut shaming. If someone feels like they're being "slut shamed" it's called coming under conviction. It means what you're doing is wrong and you know it. You just get defensive and label them as the bad guys for making you feel bad about what you've done. And before you go all feminist on me, think about this. If a woman wrote a song about men falling all over her and she was annoyed by it and the song made men out to be these terrible human beings, you would have absolutely no problem with it. Stop with the double standards ladies. We men have a lot more respect for you than you realize. And I also realize that people have other opinions on the matter so if you're up for a MATURE conversation pleases share your thoughts :)

[@goodluckgluck8199]

Thank you sir!

[@TheColonelCommisar]

Couldn't have said it better myself. Thumbs up bro.

[@JourdainTheTerrible]

simeon converse Well said!

[@wwejeffhardy619TV]

Meanwhile they have no problem with Taylor Swift, who does essentially that in a much more terrible manner. Well said. Would give this two thumbs up if I could. So sick of people trying to justify their horrible behavior by turing the blame to someone else.

[@MGTOWPsyche]

simeon converse Jezebel is simply a male spirit or mindset or world view that makes a woman use her seduction and sexuality and power, manipulation and deceit to get what she wants. Jezebels enjoy taking powerful men down and breaking kings to feed their sense of self. They are black widow succubi.

[@iluvthehungergames56]

new fan & i've loved every song so far! wow! you guys are amazing

[@iheartphc]

Matty is a vocal beast, such a nice clean part gives me chills everytime I listen to this

I think it's incredible how he just alluded to The Haunted when he said "She knows every word to every song i write, so lets have a sing a long. Hello, Hello and Goodbye" Hell yes

[@Devildog92Kgm]

From Wikipedia "According to the biblical accounts, Jezebel incited her husband King Ahab to abandon the worship of Yahweh and encourage worship of the deities Baal and Asherah instead. Jezebel is said to have persecuted the prophets of Yahweh, and to have fabricated false evidence of blasphemy against an innocent landowner who refused to sell his property to King Ahab, causing the landowner to be put to death. For these transgressions against the God and people of Israel, the Bible relates, Jezebel met a gruesome death - thrown out of a window by members of her own court retinue, and the flesh of her corpse eaten by stray dogs"

[@bkidd2323]

Of all the songs on this album, this is the one I want to hear the most at Warped Tour in Atlanta!!!

[@JazmineRose.]

Sounds like a fan tried to seduce Matty despite the fact he's married. Quite the jezebel spirit in that case.

[@annitahall9842]

Revelation 2:20-22 "20 Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. 21 I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. 22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways" Coincidence or not, this is pretty cool.

That's the beauty of this song. It's very easy to figure out, it doesn't seem like it's that deep. But it hits deeper than most songs because of how true and straight-forward it is.

[@sounomt]

I absoloutly LOVE this album. Every song is calling out a certain thing. MMF has the biggest balls ever. BEST ALBUM DROP OF 2012. This song might be my favorite because it's calling out those dumb fangirls that like a band just to get with the members.

[@crissiepurple]

Not only the fact that he's taken, but if you guys haven't realized, the name Jezebel is the name of a woman, in which was a slut or prostitute in the Bible. In case you haven't noticed, alot of biblical meanings go into the lyrics of Memphis May Fire. And as mentioned by others before, Matty is married and doesn't want desperate women coming at him.

Inspired by the bible: Check out 1 Kings. The song is very well applied to many people, but is inspired by the story of Jezebel in the bible. A temptress that swayed her husband to no longer worship Yaweh, but encouraged him to worship Pagan gods such as Baal.

[@Evanz111]

For anyone who doesn't understand this, it's because in "The Haunted" they had the lyrics "Hello, hello and goodbye" as part of the chorus.

[@johncarlson1081]

does anyone on here realize that this son is called jezebel! not whore?!?!? 2 completely different meanings!!! a jezebel is a temptress! a whore is someone who gets paid for sex? ones a business and one is greed and vanity

[@majickalproductions]

stop trying to cover Matty's back, he's basically slut shaming. and a whore is someone who uses self-exploitation to get something. so it could be for money, but also for vanity, attention, etc. It's cool and all that Matty wont fuck some chick at the bar, which i would expect seeing as he's married, but he doesnt have to shame her or shit his Christian morals all over her. He's no better than someone just because she has consensual sex on a regular basis with different men, which by the way there is nothing wrong with that. human beings like to fuck. another perspective: im a vegetarian, so i believe it is wrong to kill animals for meat, clothing, etc. however, im not gonna shame a person for eating meat. their diet is their business and not mine. and vice-versa. another persons sex life is none of matty's business.

[@TheHIOJK]

***** Then don't listen to the song, derp.

[@majickalproductions]

TheHIOJK common comeback, also a shitty one.

[@TheHIOJK]

Wasn't a comeback, but how about this..No one cares about your stance on morality or your ever longing need to harp on, what you think to be, your superior opinion on cultural climate..especially on a youtube video. You're missing the point of the song anyway. What I'm trying to say is either listen to the song or don't, but no one cares why you won't. Wow what a waste of time.

[@TheHIOJK]

Carlos Davarre Salazar Yup, your point?

[@dylanparrott8347]

[@packerman7410]

Who cares if its slut shaming? sluts dont give a shit about people that care about them, and will break their hearts and trust in a second

[@crystaldahmer6451]

Well fuck he could have just said I'm not interested 😂

[@saintcarlos]

this song talks about girls who act whorish towards him.. knowing he's married. he calls it a disease, i take it as him saying a "moral disease" (not an actual disease) girls trying to get with a married man? will you be OK with it if some girl tried to get with your husband because hes "hot"? he even questions it, "Was it the way she was raised or just the terrible choices she's chosen to make?" now, lets dig deeper into the song, is he referring to all women? what? he said all women are whores? nope, only the women who act whorish towards them, read this : "she doesn't know is that to us she's just another one of them". so from that and what matty has said, the whole band tries to stay clean on immoral stuff, so this is really about the band in general, need more lyrical proof? here : "but what she doesn't know is everyone just wants her to leave!" hint : "everyone". and if you want to go even more deeper...Jezebel is a biblical character, dun, dun dun....

If u want to get into the science of the human brain cheating is a very complex thing. In the end it's because of primal instincts to mate and add to the gene pool.
