## Theme

Yandere (from Japanese ヤンデレ) is a word commonly used in Japanese fiction to describe a character (most often a girl) who becomes so obsessed with her crush (that typically doesn't notice her) that she becomes violent and overprotective.

In this song, Jazmin Bean is a representation of this character type; they are obsessed with their crush, and they proudly threaten anyone who dares to come near the crush, going as far as to say they want to decapitate the "interferers". In the music video for the song, they are shown to have killed multiple people who spoke to their crush, as hinted when they show off the blood splattered all over their house.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

I don't know I just like you

And anyone who gets

In the way honey

Might get a handful of some shit

Or stay heavy-hearted

I know we all want one

That's not my fucking problem

Stay near, and you'll have nothing to fear

**[Chorus]**

This might get a little messy I'm sure

Heads rolling for the one I adore

This may become a little brutal If I'm honest

But It's any-anything for you my dear I promise

**[Verse 2]**

You know I like you

And anyone who gets in my way, darlin'

Might get a handful of some shit, or stay heavy-hearted

Because It's cut-throat

To anyone who comes closе

Be mine, and evеrything will be fine

**[Chorus]**

This might get a little messy I'm sure

Heads rolling for the one I adore

This may become a little brutal If I'm honest

But It's any-anything for you my dear I promise
