Just Me
Jimeoin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like drop your trousers and pants and start dancin'?
Or is that just me?
Or what about whenever you're gettin' the doona inside the doona cover,
D'you like sneak inside the cover first of all, then get the doona in
With you and then sneak
Out again as if you weren't there?
Just me eh
Queue, and you get one of those pens with the chain on it and you just
Like wiggle it around and
Pretend it's a snake in the grass?
(is it you?)
Is you, is it him,
(or just me?)
Or just me?
(is it you?)
Am i all alone in this twilight zone?
(or just me?)
Just me?
D'you ever get into the bed and you're just about to slip off into a
Dream, and all of a sudden your leg uncontrollably just jerks and you go
"oo-oo-oo! what was
That?"
Or is that just me?
And it's even worse when you're sleepin' with somebody else 'cause your
Leg does it and they wake up, and they go "what was that?" and you go
"it wasn't me, it was
My leg"
What about whenever you're telling a story and people are listening to
Every single word you're saying, and all of a sudden you realise "what
Am i telling this story for?
This is probably the worst story i know"
(is it you?)
Is you, is it him,
(or just me?)
Or just me?
(is it you?)
Like am i all alone in this twilight zone?
(or just me?)
Just me?
And trevor was a fish
And he lived in a field
He liked to play football
But fish don't have legs
(is it you?)
Is you, is it him,
(or just me?)
Or just me?
(is it you?)
Am i all alone in this twilight zone?
(or just me?)
Just me?
Are you ever watchin' a movie with your friends and it gets to the sad
Bit and they go "you're crying" and you go "no i'm not! just got
Something in me eye that's all"?
Or what about whenever you get drunk and you walk home and you see this
Road sign that's been hit by a car and it's all covered in muck and you
Think "huh, that'll
Look good in the front room"?
And is it true that sometimes in girl's toilets they just go into the
Toilet, they don't even use it, they just put the seat down and lock the
Door and sit and listen to girls
Bitch?
Or is that just me?
(is it you?)
Is you, is it him,
(or just me?)
Or just me?
(is it you?)
Is it your auntie floe, your uncle bob,
(or just me?)
Or just me?
(is it you?)
Is that guy, you know that guy who owns the land up behind the
Graveyard, smoked a pipe, wore a hat,
(or just me?)
Or just me?
(is it you?)
Is it all of us? is it none of us?
(or just me?)
Or just me?
The song "Just Me" by Jimeoin is a hilarious and relatable look at some of the quirks and habits that make us unique. Through a series of playful and absurd questions, Jimeoin invites his listeners to reflect on some of the strange things that they do in private. From dancing in an elevator and pretending a pen is a snake, to the involuntary jerk of a leg while sleeping and the embarrassment of telling a bad story, Jimeoin gives voice to those habits that we might otherwise keep hidden. Ultimately, the song is a celebration of the weirdness that makes us human, and a reminder that we are not alone in our strange little worlds.
At the heart of "Just Me" is a recognition that many of the things that we do in private are quite amusing, and that it is through humor and shared experience that we can connect with one another. Jimeoin's lyrics are witty and playful, and his use of repetition creates a sense of camaraderie among his listeners. By the end of the song, it's clear that we are all a little weird, and that's perfectly okay.

And it's even worse when you're sleepin' with somebody else 'cause your
Leg does it and they wake up, and they go "what was that?" and you go
"it wasn't me, it was
My leg"
It's even more embarrassing if it happens when you're sharing a bed with someone else, and they wake up to ask you what happened.
What about whenever you're telling a story and people are listening to
Every single word you're saying, and all of a sudden you realise "what
Am i telling this story for?
This is probably the worst story i know"
Have you ever been in a situation where everyone is listening to your story, and suddenly you realize that it's actually the worst story you know?
(is it you?)
Has that ever happened to you?
Like am i all alone in this twilight zone?
Am I the only one who has the experience of feeling like an outsider in a social situation?
And trevor was a fish
And he lived in a field
He liked to play football
But fish don't have legs
And here's a totally unrelated thing that has no meaning, it's just a funny story.
Are you ever watchin' a movie with your friends and it gets to the sad
Bit and they go "you're crying" and you go "no i'm not! just got
Something in me eye that's all"?
Have you ever watched a movie with friends and tried to disguise the fact that you were crying during a sad scene?
Or what about whenever you get drunk and you walk home and you see this
Road sign that's been hit by a car and it's all covered in muck and you
Think "huh, that'll
Look good in the front room"?
Or have you ever been drunk and seen a dirty and damaged road sign and thought it would make a good interior decoration?
Or is that just me?
Once again, am I the only one who has those weird thoughts?
Is you, is it him,
(or just me?)
Do others have those thoughts too, or am I the only one?
Is it your auntie floe, your uncle bob,
(or just me?)
I mean, really, who else is like me in these ways? Or maybe there are others?
Is that guy, you know that guy who owns the land up behind the
Graveyard, smoked a pipe, wore a hat,
(or just me?)
Perhaps there are others like me, like that guy who owns the land up behind the graveyard, who smoked a pipe and wore a hat.
Is it all of us? is it none of us?
(or just me?)
Who knows? Are we all in this together, or am I totally alone in my weirdness?
Just me?
In the end, it's hard to say, so once again, am I the only one?
