Just fine
MaMuse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like you take off all of your clothes
One piece at a time
Place them into your closet
Out of sight and out of mind
Let the cold in
You're doin' just fine
And take a walk down old familiar streets
Ah ha ha ha Ah ha
The light is coming back, light is coming back
As of today
The light is coming back, light is coming back
As of today
Ahhhhh. . . . . .
You're doin' just fine
Find a spot off of the pavement
Let your feet remember the Earth
You're a child of hers
It's been your right since birth
I know it's cold
You're doin' just fine
Ah ha, oh you're doin' just fine
Just fine
You're doin' just fine
Here comes the sun (just fine)
Here comes the sun (just fine)
Here comes the sun
It's all right
You're doin' just fine
Take your worries from out of your closet
Place them on your favorite window sill
Watch them fly away
While your mind sits still. . .
The song "Just Fine" by MaMuse speaks to the experience of feeling weighed down by life's worries and pressures and finding solace in the simple, grounding experiences of being in nature. The opening lines encourage the listener to let go of their worries, much like one might shed their clothes. The repeated refrain of "You're doin' just fine" reinforces the idea that it's okay to feel overwhelmed, but that things will get better with time.
One of the most poignant lines of the song is "Let the cold in", which suggests that it's important to allow oneself to feel the full range of emotions and sensations, even if they aren't always pleasant. This is echoed later on in the song when the listener is encouraged to "Find a spot off of the pavement/Let your feet remember the Earth/You're a child of hers/It's been your right since birth". This sense of connection to the natural world and the idea of finding comfort in the familiarity of "old familiar streets" creates a sense of groundedness and peace.
