The J.U.S. Evolution Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I
Cut from the same cloth
You and I
Cut from the same cloth
This time

Montag, you're in drag (Oh es war einfach)
Feel this birthday without us
(Oh, the change in my pocket is enough to celebrate)

You and I
Cut from the same cloth
You and I
Cut from the same cloth
This time

I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind

And oh, is it easy to remember what it takes to be a man?
Oh, is it easy to remember what it means to be a man?

I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind

(Oh, I will pray for)

You and I
Cut from the same cloth
You and I
Cut from the same cloth
This time

You and I
Cut from the same cloth
You and I

Cut from the same cloth
This time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The J.U.S. Evolution's song Losing My Mind reflect on the struggles of identity and memory. The opening lines describe a personal memory of the singer on holiday in the late '70s with his family, particularly his father who calls him from the end of the jetty. This memory is contrasted with the news of missing boys who are also depicted in similar family vacation photos. The song then shifts to explore the complexities of masculinity and identity through the repeated lines "Cut from the same cloth" which could refer to both similarities and struggles to fit into predetermined societal roles. The lines "Montag, you're in drag" and "Feel this birthday without us" add to the confusion and challenge of understanding oneself and one's place in the world. In the chorus, the singer repeats "I'm losing my mind" which reinforces the theme of the struggle for self-discovery and the fear of losing control.

Overall, Losing My Mind is a reflective song that takes the listener on a journey to exploring their own memory and reliving old experiences. The song speaks to the difficulty and ultimate goal of finding oneself through a maze of societal and personal expectations.

You and I are similar in some way and are created different from the rest. We share some aspects which are common to us.

Montag, you are in a costume and living your life. We celebrate this birthday of yours without being physically present because even though we are not physically with you, our best wishes are with you.

My thoughts are becoming chaotic, and I am losing control of them. This is a repeated thought for me, and it keeps on bothering me.

And oh, is it easy to remember what it takes to be a man? Oh, is it easy to remember what it means to be a man?
It is difficult to define what it takes to be a man; there are several expectations tied to this idea. It is unclear what it means to be a man with the gray areas surrounding the same. Hence, it is difficult to remember what it takes to be a man and what being a man means.
