Just Because
The Funeral Party Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Their words are coming out
I can feel it here deep in your mouth
Truth will reveal itself
No need to travel for a million miles
The years can't stay the same
I kept it easy so I couldn't complain
Let them make up your mind
It's a feeling you can never describe

Oh

But even after all the things I said
You could be honest and be true and never realize what I wont do
Said to call it out, afraid to say
I don't recognize whats left of us I can't think of anything it was
And it was over before
All the things that I know that I could I would never leave you though I would

And I would say it's all because
You ask me why, I cannot lie
And if you shout
And I want out
You ask me why
Oh just because
Oh just because
Oh just because

The claimant change is really nothing new
I'm still lost 'cause I got something to do
I can figure out on my own time you were always late so you're never around
I know no one knows so you can be yourself
I keep you close and never let anyone out
And I stopped caring so push them aside fuck the things you want for the things you like
I get with the money and the swank apartment
I built a tower up into the sun
Let them follow every fallen empire
On the war they waged but never won

I figured out your world, from that today
I swear to god I knew I would but if you give me reason to be good
I always force it out
The words to say
That I'll be honest and be good, you wouldn't leave me if I would
'Cause it was covered
All in disguise
Amazing anger like I lost my mind

Oh I can go, but I will stay
And I'll do it again you could put it away
Oh you can find a peace of mind
You ask me
Oh I can't lie
I figured out whats in a lie
I found a way that I can go
I make it out through all the years
You ask me why
Oh just because




Oh just because
Oh just because

Overall Meaning

The Funeral Party's song "Just Because" is about the complexity of relationships and the struggle to find truth within them. The song starts with the sense that something is about to be revealed, as the singer can feel it coming from deep within the other person's mouth. The truth will reveal itself, but it doesn't necessarily require a million miles of travel to get to it. The passage of time changes things, but the singer kept things easy to avoid complaining. Ultimately, it's a feeling that can't be described.


The singer acknowledges that even after everything they've said, the other person can still be honest and true without realizing that the singer won't reciprocate that. The singer is afraid to say that they don't recognize what's left of their relationship, and it was over before they even realized it. Even so, the singer wouldn't leave the other person, and it's all "just because."


The rest of the song is about figuring things out on the singer's own time and not caring what other people want. It's about building up their own world and defying the fallen empires of others. The singer is struggling to be honest and good, but they know the other person wouldn't leave them if they were. Ultimately, the song is about the complexities of a relationship and the struggle to find truth and honesty within it.

The words are calling out
I can feel them in the deep of your mouth
Truth will reveal itself
No need to travel for a million miles

The years can stay the same
I kept it easy so I couldn't complain
Let them make up your mind
It's a feeling you can never describe
Oh, oh, oh, oh

But even after all the things I say
You can be honest and be true
You never realized what I won't do

Ashamed to call it out, afraid to say
I don't recognize what's left of us
I can't think of anything it was

And it was over, be hated for
All the things that I know that I could
I would never leave you though I would

And I would sell it all because
You ask me why I cannot lie
Yeah, it feels old and I want new
You ask me why
Oh, just because, oh, just because
Oh, just because

The climate changes is really nothing new
I'll stay lost 'cause I got something to do
I can figure it out in my own time
You were always late so you never arrived

I know, no one knows so you can be yourself

And keep it close and never let it run out
They'll stop caring so push them aside
Fuck the things you want for the things you like

Again with their money and their swank apartment
I built a tower built up into the sun
Let them follow every fallen empire
On the war they waged but never won

I figured out your world from night to day
I swear to God, I knew I would
But it became too easy to be good

When I would force it out, the words to say
That I'll be honest and be good
You wouldn't believe me if I would

'Cause it was covered all in disguise
Amazed and angered like
I lost my mind

Oh, I could go but I will stay
And I'll do it again, you can bet that I will
Oh, you can find a piece of mind
You ask me why, oh, I can't lie

I figured I would sit around
I found a way that I can go
I'll make it out through all the years
You ask me why
Oh, just because, oh, just because
Oh, just because
