Just In Case
Mankind Forever Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

flower curtains on your face
i look at you and you look away
do you remember when i first told you my name
or do you just remember when i went insane

you carried me up the stairs of our house
i was so messed up i passed out
do you remember when i gave and gave and gave
or do you remember what i took away
i'll hang on to you just in case
i'll hang on to you just in case

christmas lights spread out between two trees
i look at them like you now look at me
do you remember when i was so brave
or do you just remember when i was afraid

flower curtains in our new house
remind me of every time you freaked out
do you remember when i first got saved
or do you just remember when i fell away




i hang on to you just in case
i hang on to you just in case

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Just in Case" by Mankind Forever explore the depth and complexity of a relationship that has been through both good and bad times. The first verse begins with the observation of flower curtains on the partner's face and the subsequent aversion of the partner's gaze. The following line brings up reminiscence of the first time the singer revealed their name to their partner, which might indicate the start of their relationship. However, the next line paints the picture of a dark period in the relationship when the singer went insane, and the partner had to carry them up the stairs. The verse then ends with a question of whether the partner remembers the good times of giving and braveness or the times the singer took away and was afraid.


The second verse starts with the sight of Christmas lights on two trees as a metaphor for the distance between the singer and the partner, with both of them looking at each other but not connecting. The third line brings up the theme of bravery again, but the following line reminds the listener of the darker days when the partner freaked out. The verse ends with a question of whether the partner remembers when the singer was saved or when they fell away. The repetition of the line "I hang on to you just in case" emphasizes the singer's determination to cling onto the relationship, despite its ups and downs, and perhaps the fear of losing the partner.
