Just Like This
Deepmaniak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list
But she said, "Where d'you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts.
Some superhero,
Some fairytale bliss.
Just something I can turn to.
Somebody I can kiss.
I want something just like this."

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Oh, I want something just like this
I want something just like this

I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
The testaments they told
The moon and its eclipse
And Superman unrolls
A suit before he lifts
But I'm not the kind of person that it fits

She said, "Where d'you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts.
Some superhero,
Some fairytale bliss.
Just something I can turn to.
Somebody I can miss.
I want something just like this.
I want something just like this."

Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

"Where d'you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts.
Some superhero,
Some fairytale bliss.
Just something I can turn to.
Somebody I can kiss.
I want something just like this."

Oh, I want something just like this




Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Just Like This" by Deepmaniak are sung from the perspective of someone who feels inadequate in comparison to the heroes and legends mentioned in books and pop culture: Achilles, Hercules, Spiderman, and Batman. However, the singer meets someone who tells them that they don't need to be superhuman to be loved. The listener then hears the refrain, "Where d'you wanna go? How much you wanna risk? I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts. Some superhero, some fairytale bliss. Just something I can turn to. Somebody I can kiss. I want something just like this."


The message of the song is clear: it's easy to get caught up in comparing ourselves to people who we perceive as stronger or more talented than us. However, those qualities aren't necessary for love to exist. The refrain provides the listener with a sense of relief and an invitation to just be themselves rather than a superhero or some kind of mythical being.


Overall, "Just Like This" is a song about feeling good enough just as we are. It reminds us that it's okay to not be perfect and that there are people out there who will love us for who we are, not what we can do.
