Jamie Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Embrace the man without no heart (Oh yeah)
Why do I feel like I'm running round
Scared 'coz my feet just won't touch the ground
Why do I prey for a knife?
A chance to feel what it's like (no)
A little peace babe
A little lovin'
I just, I just don't understand
Why people want to hurt me so
I just, I just don't understand
But I'm free until the morning comes
(Oh no no no no ho)
A blip by which we live our lives
Our way to know our wrongs from rights
Why do I feel like I do?
I wish I felt just like you (God knows)
A little peace babe
Ooh darling
A little peace baby
Oh please a little love baby
I just, I just don't understand
Why people want to hurt me so
I just, I just won't understand
But I'm free until the morning comes
(Oh no no no no ho)
Yes I know
All I know
It was you that carried me
Always true
What they say
Life is full of misery
But this much
I have learnt
Won't let me discourage me, yeah
Da da da da da hoa
The song "Just" by Jamie Scott is about the artist feeling lost and confused in life, struggling to understand why people want to hurt him and wishing for a little peace and love. This message is conveyed through vivid metaphors and introspective reflection on the nature of life.
In the first verse, the lyrics suggest that life has been unfair to the artist, leaving him feeling empty and without heart. He is running around feeling scared and disconnected from the ground beneath him, searching for something to make him feel alive. He even wishes for a knife, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for wanting to feel something, even if that feeling is pain.
The second verse delves deeper into the artist's existential questioning, wondering why he feels like he does and wishing he could feel like other people do. He longs for a little peace and love, which could be interpreted as a desire for happiness and contentment. The bridge of the song offers some hope, with the artist acknowledging that life is full of misery but refusing to be discouraged by it.
Overall, this song is a powerful exploration of the human condition, with relatable themes of confusion, hurt, and hope. The poignant lyrics and raw emotion in Jamie Scott's vocals make "Just" a standout track from his body of work.

I remember those Jazz FM days, year 2004. And I agree this is better than the original (which I thought it was until I saw a clip of the video). It's a shame he's never really broken through. The UK was not very receptive to 'blue-eyed'' soul back then and is not that much more now. His stuff with the Town seemed more like a manoeuvre to garner some fame but I don't think they have taken off as much as expected. Plus going by past interviews I think he's more of a soul boy anyway.
