Might As Well
Jude Shuma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Light up your god and make believe
Hang from a cloud and drift away
cocaine to go and take the pain away
If its good might as well
if its good might as well
if its good you might as well
acid rain filling up your eyes
can't say you have until you've tried
move down to el capitale bay
coconut daydreams in your
If its good might as well
if its good might as well
if its good you might as well
The lyrics of Jude Shuma's song "Might as well" are about escapism through various means, including drug use, fantasy, and self-deception. The opening line, "Swallow the sun and taste and see," suggests a desire to escape reality and experience something more intense, perhaps through drug use. This is further emphasized by the line "cocaine to go and take the pain away."
The next line, "Light up your god and make believe," can be interpreted as a call to religion or spirituality as a coping mechanism or form of escapism. The following line, "Hang from a cloud and drift away," continues the theme of wanting to escape or float above reality.
The second verse continues the theme, with references to "acid rain," which could be interpreted as a metaphor for difficult and stressful experiences, and the need to try things in order to truly say that one has lived. The reference to "coconut daydreams" further emphasizes the desire to escape into fantasy.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of someone who is struggling with reality and looking for ways to escape and cope. The repetition of the phrase "if it's good might as well" suggests a willingness to take risks, even if the consequences are unknown.
