Just Look At Us Now
Mousse T. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Ft James Kakande)

Just look at us now
With our head in our hands
No where to run it seems we've
Run out of plans
Mirror is full of emptiness
But I'm still standing
Right here trying to understand
The reasons for you and me.

Chorus (x2)
Now some people wish
And some people pray
But I'll just sit and wish away.

Now If I said I wasn't
Job would you still try and test me and if I said
I could cry would you still
Try to make me break me
Mistake me

For we have come so far
Like a mile fall of letters and songs
It seems my friend but anyway

Chorus (x2)

Just look at us now
With our head in our hands
No where to run it seems we've
Run out of plans
Mirror is full of emptyness
But I'm still standing
Right here trying to understand




The reasons for you and me.
Chorus x2

Overall Meaning

In Mousse T. Feat. James Kakande's song "Just Look At Us Now," the lyrics express feelings of confusion, disappointment, and a lack of direction in life. The two characters in the song have their "head in their hands" and feel like they have "run out of plans." Despite feeling lost, they are still standing and trying to understand the reasons for their current situation. The chorus suggests that some people wish and pray for things to get better, but the singer will simply "sit and wish away."


The second verse adds a layer of vulnerability as the singer questions how they would be perceived if they were honest about their emotions. "If I said I wasn't strong, would you still try and test me?" they ask. The lyrics suggest that opening up would make the singer vulnerable to being mistreated.


Overall, the song is a reflection on the challenges of life, the difficulties of making sense of it all, and the contradictory emotions that can arise. The music and vocal delivery emphasize this sense of ambiguity and the feeling of being stuck in a rut.
