Deja Vu Lyrics

Cover art for Deja Vu lyrics by Beyoncé

The funk bassline is the shit.

And the way I see the song, in keeping with the storyline of the album, is that she's infatuated with a man and can't get him out of her head. It's literally driving her insane, which would explain how she's going so wild in the video, especially with the "shake the devil off" dance. It's also represented by the heightened vocals in the bridge. Of course Jay's part is kinda him being indifferent to her advances - also represented in the video.

The use of "Déjà Vu" is also incorrect, since what's described are hallucinations.
