Just In Case
Among Wolves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i'm lyin right in front of you
things just seems so right
in the heat of a summer night
standin on 8th avenue
just enjoyin myself a view
their horns are not serene
not like the noise on a tv screen
in a fiery tone of voice
you really gave me no choice
some green and a couple of blues
like the color of your shiney shoes
5 dollars and 38 cents
i'm goin to see the president
i gotcha some clean clothes
just in case somebody knows
The lyrics to "Just In Case" by Among Wolves describe a moment in time, likely in the summer, where the singer is lying in front of someone with blue eyes, enjoying the sights and sounds of 8th Avenue. They note that the blaring horns of the city are not as calming as the noise of a TV screen. Suddenly, the other person speaks in a fiery tone of voice, forcing the singer to make a decision. The singer then mentions "some green and a couple of blues," which could refer to money, drugs, or something else entirely. They mention having enough money to see the President and getting clean clothes for someone, which could suggest that they are homeless or struggling in some way.
The song is open to interpretation, but it seems to capture a moment of both peace and tension. The singer is enjoying a moment of calm, yet they are still struggling with something - whether it be addiction, poverty, or simply the difficulties of living in a busy city. The lyrics are poetic and contain vivid imagery, painting a picture of a particular moment in time. The song ends with the singer preparing for the worst by getting clean clothes "just in case somebody knows." This could suggest that they are trying to hide something or avoid being caught doing something illegal or immoral.
