Stand Atlantic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's just like that (it's just like that)
Delicately dying for another minute
It's just like that (it's just like that)
Goldrush
What you digging out of me?
This head rush
I gotta stand still
Dizzy, dumb and in between
And it's just like that
(It's just like that)
Heavy dose, comatose
Can't seem to find the words
And it's just like that, it's just like that
Skeleton, bring me in
I'll bleed a little more for you
Just like that, it's just like that
(And it's just like that)
Never sought it out, need an antidote
And it's just like that (it's just like that)
Careful, I could brush pain into your picture
It's just like that (it's just like that)
Goldrush
What you digging out of me?
This head rush
Stomach's in my neck
I gotta stand still
Dizzy, dumb and in between
And it's just like that
(It's just like that)
Heavy dose, comatose
Can't seem to find the words
And it's just like that, it's just like that
Skeleton, bring me in
I'll bleed a little more for you
Just like that, it's just like
Crushing bones, I don't know
My guts keep falling out
And I'm starting to disintegrate
Oh, carry on
Yeah, it's just like that, it's just like that
In my crowded brain, you're in uppercase
Cutting veins, 'til they spell out your name
I'm speaking to ceilings
And finding release somehow
(Honey-coated speech and I'm overdosing)
It's just like that
Heavy dose, comatose
Can't seem to find the words
And it's just like that, it's just like that
Skeleton, bring me in
I'll bleed a little more for you
Just like that, it's just like
Crushing bones that I know
My guts keep falling out
And I'm starting to disintegrate
Oh, carry on
Yeah, it's just like that, it's just like that
The song "Like That" by Stand Atlantic is a raw and emotional reflection on the intensity of a relationship. The lyrics speak to the feeling of being overwhelmed and "overdosing" on the words and actions of a partner. The singer is delicately dying for just one more moment with their significant other, even though it is causing them pain. The relationship is like a "gold rush," where both individuals are digging deep to find new depths within each other.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "it's just like that," which reinforces the feeling of powerlessness that the singer is experiencing. They are unable to control the feelings that their partner elicits within them, and they can't stop themselves from bleeding emotionally for their partner. The singer's gut is wrenching, and they are stuck in a state of paralysis - dizzy, dumb, and in between.
The bridge of the song adds to the overall sense of desperation, with the singer admitting that they are disintegrating in the relationship, and their "guts keep falling out." Despite this realization, they urge themselves to carry on, recognizing that "it's just like that, it's just like that." Overall, "Like That" is a powerful anthem that explores the complexities of love and the emotional toll that it can take on an individual.
