The song "Incredible" by Joss Stone is about a toxic relationship where one person holds power over the other and manipulates them. The lyrics suggest that the narrator is fed up with being controlled and pushed down by their partner. The opening lines, "I don't wanna take your shine, so it's okay if you wanna take mine," hint at one person sacrificing their own happiness for the sake of the relationship. However, as the song progresses, the narrator realizes that they have wasted too much time and energy on someone who brings them down. The phrase "Extract the soul from human kind, what a shame, down the line, nothing left to lie" suggests that the toxic partner has taken away the narrator's joy and authenticity, leaving them feeling empty. The lyrics convey the narrator's frustration and desire for the toxic relationship to end. They feel suffocated by their partner's constant attempts to control and manipulate them, as expressed in lines like "Get the camera off my face now, time is running out, stop pushing me down." The chorus emphasizes the negative impact of the toxic relationship, with the repeated phrases "Just incredible, you shock me daily, unforgettable, now get some help." The narrator acknowledges the destructive nature of the relationship and suggests that their partner has sent them to a hellish place. Overall, "Incredible" serves as an expression of empowerment and the need to break free from a toxic relationship. It highlights the emotional turmoil and negative effects that can arise from being controlled and manipulated by someone else.
