Just Because
Raygun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess I think about think about doin a line.
But the last time I promised myself
It would be the last time,
Remember that time when I was green
The deepest colour or you bleeds
I felt that colour in my head.
Chorus
Just because you can,
It doesn't mean you should.
Oh just because you can,
It doesn't make it good.
Oh you been down, you been down, you been down,
You been feelin down...
Every time you bleed you always come around.
Remember that time you looked so good,
We knew that we could do and we knew we should,
I felt that coulor in my head
Oooh right before you said
Chorus
Just because you can
It doesn't mean you should
Just because you can
It doesn't make it good
Just because you can
It doesn't mean you should
Just because you can
I felt that colour in my head (4x)
Oooh right before she said
Chorus
Just because you can
It doesn't mean you should
Just because you can
It doesn't make it good
Just because you can
It doesn't mean you should
"Just because" you can
Just because you can
(Repeat)
In the song "Just Because" by Raygun, the lyrics suggest a struggle with drug addiction and the temptation to give in to the desire for one last fix. The lines "I guess I think about thinkin' a line" and "The last time I promised myself, it would be the last time" allude to the recurring internal battle the singer faces in choosing whether or not to indulge in drug use. The chorus, "Just because you can, it doesn't mean you should. Oh just because you can, it doesn't make it good," reinforces the idea that just because something is possible or accessible, it doesn't mean it's the right or healthy choice.
The second verse shifts to a reminiscence of a time when the singer and someone else participated in drug use together, "We knew that we could do and we knew we should." It's possible that this memory is a trigger for the singer, causing them to contemplate revisiting drug use again, as they feel the same intense feeling in their head that they did the first time.
Overall, the lyrics of "Just Because" could be interpreted as a cautionary tale about the dangers of drug abuse and the importance of self-control and discipline. The lyrics suggest that the ultimate decision to say no to temptation lies with the individual, and that just because something may seem desirable, it's important to consider the potential consequences of those actions.
