Just Like You
Kilians Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You thought me not to let my hand to anyone who's not my friend,
You thought me.
And you said I'll never be a man until I grow a mustache and an empire.

I needed somewhere to rest, I needed somewhere to rest,
I owe to you all of my devotion.

You thought me not to be impressed by anyone who's more or less just like you.

And I will never know, I will never know, I will never know anyone just like you.

I needed somewhere to rest, I needed somewhere to rest,
I owe to you all of my devotion.
I needed somewhere to rest, and take no further requests,
Now I'm roaming in the ocean.

And I swear I never needed anyone just like you, just like you
And I swear I never needed anyone just like you, just like you.

I needed somewhere to rest, I needed somewhere to rest,
I needed somewhere to rest, I needed somewhere to rest,
I needed somewhere to rest, I needed somewhere to rest,
I needed somewhere to rest, I needed somewhere to rest,
I needed somewhere to rest.

I swear I never needed anyone just like you, just like you
And I swear I never needed anyone just like you, just like you.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the Kilians song "Just Like You" seem to be about the singer reflecting on the lessons that someone important in their life taught them, likely a parent or a mentor. The person taught the singer to be cautious with who they let into their life, and to be wary of those who aren't truly friends. Additionally, the person seems to have had some old-fashioned ideas about what it means to be a "man," equating it with growing a mustache and building an empire. Despite not agreeing with these beliefs, the singer still feels an undying devotion to the person who taught them these lessons.

The singer needed somewhere to rest and find clarity, and they credit the person who taught them these lessons with being able to find that space. However, they also suggest that they no longer need to take any more of the person's requests or opinions, and they are now free to explore the unknown ('roaming in the ocean').

Overall, the song seems to be about the complex feelings that come with holding someone close to your heart, even if you don't agree with or understand all of their beliefs. The song is a poignant reflection of the impact that people can have in our lives, even if they are no longer present.
