Just Like You
Godhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another life I'll never reach anything I want to
To bend the time
I pine away behind the mask of mandatory joy
Can't keep on running away
Do you see, this is my destiny
I want live off the things that you always do
I want to be renewed
I want to know what it's like to be just like you
I wait in line
I walk the shallow empty halls
A terror in my mind
Waiting for you
I start to realize
That you're standing where I should have been
Can't keep from falling apart
Do you see, it's my catastrophe
I want to be like you
I want live off the things that you always do
I want to be renewed
I want to know what it's like to be just like you
I'll take your place
Look for my face
Inside your nightmares tonight
I want to be like you
I want live off the things that you always do
I want to be renewed
I want to know what it's like to be just like you
Just like you
Just like you
Just like you
Just like you
The lyrics of Godhead's song "Just Like You" explore the feelings of inadequacy and a yearning for acceptance and success. The opening lines, "The great demise, another life I'll never reach anything I want to" indicate a sense of defeat and hopelessness. The singer in this song is struggling to achieve his/her dreams and desires and feels constrained by the "mask of mandatory joy" that society forces individuals to wear. The line "Waiting for you I start to realize that you're standing where I should have been" highlights the comparison the singer is making with someone who has apparently achieved everything he/she aspires to.
However, despite this sense of dejection, the singer is also aware of the need to stop running away from his/her problems and to face his/her destiny. The chorus "I want to be like you, I want to live off the things that you always do, I want to be renewed, I want to know what it's like to be just like you" captures this desire for change and self-improvement. The singer wants to emulate the successful person he/she is comparing himself/herself to and attain a new level of existence.
Overall, "Just Like You" portrays a complex mix of emotions including frustration, longing, and determination. The lyrics reveal the singer's inner turmoil and his/her struggle to find his/her place in the world.
