Just Once
Shura Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’ve lost count of how many times we’ve disagreed
But it’s the third time we’ve fought together this week
Maybe it’s nothing, maybe I just need time on my own
Just once, I’m gonna go and get drunk

If you get my name wrong I won’t get pissed off cause
I wish I was somebody else
You know nothing about me, I know nothing about you
But maybe the question mark helps
Have you ever been lost?
We could get lost
I wanna get lost

I’m not sure if I’m just thinking ‘bout it too much
Or if I’m just looking for an excuse for us to break up
Maybe I want to , maybe I need to
Find a way to tell you that I want to let you go
Just once, I’m gonna go and get drunk

If you get my name wrong I won’t get pissed off cause
I wish I was somebody else
You know nothing about me, I know nothing about you
But maybe the question mark helps
Have you ever been lost?
We could get lost
I wanna get lost

Have you ever been lost?
We could get lost




I wanna get lost
(I wanna get lost with you)

Overall Meaning

The song Just Once by Shura is about a relationship that is going through a rough patch. The singer has lost count of the number of times they have disagreed and fought with their partner. The opening lines suggest that there is some tension in the relationship and the singer may need some time alone. However, instead of taking some time off, the singer decides to get drunk just once. This could be seen as an attempt to numb the pain and forget about their relationship troubles.


The lyrics also hint at the fact that the singer is unsure of their identity and may not be happy with who they are. This is evident from the line "If you get my name wrong, I won't get pissed off cause I wish I was somebody else". The singer also points out that they know almost nothing about their partner, and vice versa. This could indicate a lack of emotional connection and understanding between the two.


The final lines of the song suggest that the singer wants to get lost with their partner, implying a desire to escape their relationship troubles and find solace in each other's company. However, the repeated line "I wanna get lost" also suggests a deeper longing for something more profound and meaningful than what their current relationship is offering.


Overall, Just Once by Shura is a poignant and introspective song that explores the complexities of relationships and the desire to escape from emotional turmoil.
