JUST GO
Josh Cameron Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This time I say goodbye
I know it will last my life
The one left, she doesn't mind
She puts her hand in mine

Waiting for the sun
Bid you well
Bought a gun
Demon sword

Just go, there's nothing left to say
Just go, I never wanted it this way
Just go, I'll make it on my own
But life alone is so uneasy
Just go, you'll never set me back
Just go, you'll never teach me how to act
Just go, it's not a place to be
For someone who
Is just like me

This foundation gave way to quick
I paddled out to drown with it
Move slowly, she wants it all
This herion drew her in from the rainfall
And I don't want it

Just go, there's nothing left to say
Just go, I never wanted it this way
Just go, I'll make it on my own
But life alone is so uneasy
Just go, you don't affect me now
This life, you'll never know what it's about
Just go, I'll make it on my own
But life alone is so uneasy
Life alone, so uneasy
For someone who is just like me
Life alone, so uneasy

For you I'd do anything
For you I'd do anything

Just go, I wanted you for my suicide
It comes undone, she wants
Faded, discard your lies
Now I find that I'm
In control again

Just go, there's nothing left to say
Just go, I never wanted it this way
Just go, I'll make it on my own
But life alone is so uneasy
Just go, you want to take it there
I know you still imagining
Just go, It's not a place to be
For someone who is just like me
Just go, there's nothing left to say
Just go, I never wanted it this way
Just go, I'll make it on my own
But life alone is so uneasy
Life alone, so uneasy
Lady falling far

Overall Meaning

The song "Just Go" by Josh Cameron talks about a person who has finally decided to leave a relationship that has become toxic and unsustainable. The opening lines "This time I say goodbye / I know it will last my life / The one left, she doesn't mind / She puts her hand in mine" establishes the finality of the breakup but also hints that there is still some affection between the two despite the decision to go their separate ways. The singer then goes on to reflect on how the relationship has affected him, mentioning a gun and a demon sword, which may be symbols of the pain and self-destruction he experienced.


The chorus repeatedly urges the other person to "just go", highlighting the singer's resolve to move on and create a life for himself outside of the toxic relationship. He admits that life alone is uneasy, but staying in the same situation would be unbearable. The verse "This foundation gave way to quick / I paddled out to drown with it / Move slowly, she wants it all / This heroin drew her in from the rainfall" continues the theme of the relationship being overwhelming and destructive. The lines "I wanted you for my suicide / It comes undone, she wants / Faded, discard your lies / Now I find that I'm in control again" reveal the underlying power dynamics and the singer's realization that leaving the relationship gives him control over his life once again.


Overall, "Just Go" is a frank and emotional representation of a troubled relationship and the bravery required to end it. The lyrics portray the pain of losing something that was once valued but recognizing that it is necessary for one's personal growth and well-being.

So good to hear the truth bomb about external monitors (and by extension the trend for over-rigging gear -)  - its just such an extra pain after you have got the client settled, chosen the set, lit client / set, set up audio, waited around while client and talent go for a coffee, try and get control of the set back, change set location due to client request, set up teleprompter, edit script because last-minute changes have come in, reload prompter, wait while client and talent answer important phone call, break for lunch, come back in 1 hour and then re set and finally roll for 3 minutes on the approved script - you get the idea ! - adding in a monitor ( or any unnecessary details to an already complex situation) to all of that becomes less than attractive

I have a 5 inch HD directors monitor maybe 10% of the time - and usually only if the client knows what they are doing. 

General clueless comms persons (who is the contact point more often these days) has no idea about framming or preferences ) will generally just slow the shoot down if you give them a monitoring option - or start making extra shot requests just so they can be seen to be doing their job. 

So better not to give them the option.  Their general concern these days is - can it also be used for vertical? (to keep the lying algorithm happy)

But for clients who are discerning or actually have someone qualified in the job (becoming rare these days) - the monitor is nice to have. 

For focus pulling - the LCD or viewfinder with focus tools gets the job done well and I see no real advantage using the monitor.

One last thing - the lag over HDMI will throw the client off. One of Lumix's few achilles heels.

Simple = liberation.

@JoshCameron

What Lumix gear are YOU using? AND, are you planning to keep your kit the same this year, or is there anything else that has caught your eye? 👀

@omenka

I love to use my lumix s5ii.

@0ldFashioned85

I am still on my S5 and still love it. I don't make anything from photos so upgrading does not make sense to me. I am just getting new glass instead. Maybe in the next couple of years, I can upgrade.

@djcrash77

My S5 with the Sigma 14-24 F2.8 is my daily work horse for Real Estate and my S5II is setup for video work. For that, the 18mm F1.8 and 50mm F1.8 are regularly used! For event photography, the S-Pro 70-200 F2.8 and the 24-105 are my go-to lenses.

@ocimaging

The Lumix 100mm and 24-104mm are two lenses that I definitely want to have this year for weddings.

@ernolaunis

S5 and S5ii, 50mm and Im getting the 24mm also. Please let us know which one you use more 85 /100 mm so I can make decision after I get the 24 mm. Do you shoot broll always 50/60 fps?

Nice reminder, Josh, that the kit we have goes a long way. I still have the OG S1 as my main camera, I haven't been doing too much video otherwise I would have upgraded to the S5 II lineup for the AF. Plus the Lumix S 24-105 for travel stuff, paired with the S 50 or 85 1.8 prime. And that's pretty much it. I hope the next gen of Lumix brings 4K 120P without crop, that is the feature I absolutely need for my work, and having that missing in the 2nd Gen of Lumix cameras was really my big hurdle in upgrading to the S5 II lineup (almost sent me over to the S0ny world, may the lord forgive the almost-sin)

@studiostone3703

Can't lie. The Sigma 28-70mm has been a great addition. Love the Lumix 85mm f/1.8. Thinking hard about the 18mm but think I may go with the Sigma 16-28mm first to complete the range. If I did any product shooting the Lumix 100mm macro has really impressed in sample footage.

@rauchbdr

I'm using the S5ii and keeping my original S5. I too love the 24mm, 50mm, and 85mm primes. I would love to see if you've adjusted your color profiles in camera to make the different colors between the original S5 and the S5ii more similar. I appreciate your content!

@dimitriskafantaris7101

Hi, I am on the S5 and using 50, 85mm and from zoom the 20-60, 24-105, 70-300mm and all my old Takumars, FD and Hoya manual lenses. I noticed that the AF on the S5 has been improved since the last software update that rolled out two months ago. Is it me only, or is just my imagination?
