Just Because
Earlimart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And everything is fine
Lock down the doors
And that's what we're paying you for
One more smack in the mouth
Learn what fear is all about
Open your eyes
And we're down underground
Hiding out upside down
Just because, just because
Just because I don't believe in you
And we're down underground
Hiding out upside down
Just because, just because
Just because I don't believe in you
No, I don't believe in you
The lyrics of Earlimart's song "Just Because" seem to be about someone who is feeling isolated and disconnected from the world because they don't believe in a higher power or religion. The line "turn out the lights and everything is fine" could be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling like they are in the dark, without any guidance or direction in their life. They feel like they need to shut themselves off from the world to protect themselves from judgment or ridicule.
The line "one more smack in the mouth, learn what fear is all about" could be seen as a reference to the harsh realities of life, where someone who doesn't believe in a higher power might feel like they are at a disadvantage in the face of challenges. The lyrics "open your eyes, find your faith in Jesus Christ" could be interpreted as a message to the listener to open themselves up to the possibility of religion and faith.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "just because" multiple times, which could be seen as a reference to the arbitrary nature of belief and faith. The singer is saying that they don't believe in God or religion not because there is any evidence to suggest they are wrong, but simply "just because."
