Just Another Girl
The Killers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Step out into the Indian dust
I can feel the cracks in my spirit
They're starting to bust

Drive by your house, nobody's home
I'm trying to tell myself that I'm better off alone

All of my friends say I should move on
She's just another girl, don't let her stick it to your heart so hard
And of all my friends say it wasn't meant to be
And it's a great big world, she's just another girl

I went to see a fortuneteller, that was a trip
Maybe this confusion's got me losing my grip
I can't believe you're out there flying with somebody else

Now Jason's getting married in the blink of an eye
I got an invitation but I didn't reply
Tell your little brother that we put down the gloves
And give him all of my love

All of my friends say I should move on
She's just another girl, don't let her stick it to your heart so hard
And all of my friends say it wasn't meant to be
And it's a great big world, she's just another girl

I could be reeling them in left and right
Something's got a hold on me, tonight
Well maybe all of my friends should confront
The fact that I don't want another girl

All of my friends say I should move on
All of my friends say
All of my friends say
All of my friends say
She's just another girl

Then why can't I sleep at night
And why don't the moon look right
The sounds up, the TV's on
And it's a great big world

She's just another girl,
Don't let her stick it to your heart, boy
She's just another girl
All of my friends say she's just another girl
Another girl

Overall Meaning

Just Another Girl by The Killers is a song about heartbreak and the struggle to move on. The first verse describes the singer's feeling of being broken and how it is starting to show on him. He then drives by his ex-girlfriend's house, realizing that she's not there anymore. He tries to convince himself that he's better off alone but he still can't let go of the thought of her. His friends tell him to move on and that she's just another girl, but he can't seem to shake her off his mind. The singer then reflects on how he went to see a fortuneteller in hopes of finding some clarity amidst the confusion he's feeling.


The second verse talks about a friend's wedding that the singer has been invited to, but he chooses not to attend. He sends his love and peace to his ex-girlfriend's younger brother and tells him that they can let go of their differences. Once again, the chorus reminds him that all his friends tell him to move on and that she's just another girl, but he's having trouble sleeping at night and can't seem to let her go.


Overall, the song highlights the universal experience of heartbreak and how it can be difficult to move on from a relationship, even when one knows it is the right thing to do. The lyrics do a great job of conveying complex emotions and the melody and tempo match the lyrics perfectly.


Line by Line Meaning

Step out into the Indian dust I can feel the cracks in my spirit They're starting to bust
Venturing out into the unknown, I sense that my mental and emotional fortitude is weakening and on the brink of collapse.


Drive by your house, nobody's home I'm trying to tell myself that I'm better off alone
Passing by your residence with the realization that you are not there, I attempt to convince myself that being solitary is advantageous for me.


All of my friends say I should move on She's just another girl, don't let her stick it to your heart so hard And of all my friends say it wasn't meant to be And it's a great big world, she's just another girl
All of my acquaintances advise me to abandon this relationship because it's futile and not worth the emotional pain. One among them emphasizes that there are many other potential partners out there and she's not particularly special.


I went to see a fortuneteller, that was a trip Maybe this confusion's got me losing my grip I can't believe you're out there flying with somebody else
I consulted with a fortune teller and it was a bizarre experience. Perhaps my mental state is causing me to lose my sanity. I cannot believe that you are off gallivanting with someone else.


Now Jason's getting married in the blink of an eye I got an invitation but I didn't reply Tell your little brother that we put down the gloves And give him all of my love
Jason, my friend whom you met, is getting married abruptly. I received an invitation, but chose not to respond. Please convey my regards to your younger sibling and reassure him that our prior altercation is over and I forgive him.


I could be reeling them in left and right Something's got a hold on me, tonight Well maybe all of my friends should confront The fact that I don't want another girl
I could potentially attract numerous romantic interests, but something is confining me tonight. Maybe my companions need to acknowledge that I am not interested in pursuing any other women.


Then why can't I sleep at night And why don't the moon look right The sounds up, the TV's on And it's a great big world
If that's the case, why am I unable to sleep at night and why does the moon seem strange? I've amplified the volume and switched on the television. It's an enormous and daunting universe.


She's just another girl, Don't let her stick it to your heart, boy She's just another girl All of my friends say she's just another girl Another girl
She's just an ordinary woman, so don't let her attachment to your emotions affect you, young man. All of my associates insist that she is an average girl. Just another girl.

I mean of course Dianna looks amazing but are we not going to talk about how she perfectly mimicked Brandon's stances and movements??

@adambassett8081

I bet she's a fan. Probably grew up when the killers were big. (They still are, but ya know)

@milowolfface9392

Ehh, perfectly is a bit to far. For an actress who worked on Glee, I expect someone who can lip sync a bit better and put more engery into her movements of Brandon.

Also, she is an actress, pretty sure that they told what to do for the video.

Don't get me wrong, I fucking love this video. But the lack of engery in her movements, looking like she was speaking rather than singing, yes you can lip synch singing perfectly, she however does not.

She is extremely beautiful, Love the smokey eye.
