The song "Covet" by Jack Off Jill is about the greed and the desire for power and control over others. The lyrics describe a person who wants to possess everything and everyone, and who manipulates and breaks others to satisfy their own needs. The chorus encourages to "covet love, learn to break" and see it as a success, while also blaming the victims for falling into the trap of such a manipulative person. The song also touches upon the idea of being a teacher, and how someone who holds power and control can easily manipulate those around them. The narrator of the song has been a victim of this manipulation, but has learned how to beat the manipulator at their own game. The ending is a call to action, to show others how to resist and stand up to those who seek power and control. Overall, "Covet" is a dark and haunting commentary on the dangers of greed and manipulation in relationships and society as a whole.
