Just Me
The US Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I went for a walk today
And realized that I've got nowhere to go
Yes I have my goals and I have my dreams
But I haven't got a place to run to
And yet they say I belong
They try calming me down
Telling me I've got it all wrong
But I don't give a damn
I couldn't care less what you think
And I'm headed nowhere
Just forget me
Sitting around waiting for the meaning
Of every pain, fear, and rush
Sure I can feel, I can cry, I can laugh
I'm just tired of this joke
So tell me that I'm dreaming already
Just tell me there's more to this
And tell me I've been tricked into thinking
This is it
And that there's more waiting for me
The good stuff, I'm sure
And yet they say I belong
They try calming me down
Telling me I've got it all wrong
But I don't give a damn
I couldn't care less what you think
And I'm headed nowhere
Just forget me
Well I'm just trying to give you
A piece of my mind
A few things, so please listen close
I'm so tired of the fakes
Getting so sick of letdowns
And I've made plenty mistakes
I regret many things now
Yet they continue to tell me the same
Hey, don't cry
You're still young, don't forget now
And yet they say I belong
They try calming me down
Telling me that I've got it all wrong
But I don't give a damn
I couldn't care less what you think
And I'm headed nowhere
Just forget me
Yeah I'm headed nowhere
Just forget me




I'm headed nowhere
Just forget me

Overall Meaning

The US's song "Just Me" is a poignant reflection on the frustration and confusion that can arise from feeling lost and aimless. The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics, with the singer acknowledging that they are going for a walk with no destination or purpose in mind. Despite having goals and dreams, the singer does not know where to start or what direction to take. Throughout the song, the singer resists the attempts of others to reassure them or offer guidance, rejecting the idea that they belong or that they are on the right path. Ultimately, the singer just wants to be left alone to figure things out on their own.


The song touches on themes of isolation, disillusionment, and the struggle to find meaning in a world that can feel chaotic and uncertain. The singer's frustration with the constant reassurances of others speaks to the pressure that many young people feel to conform to societal expectations and goals that may not align with their own desires and passions. The repetition of the phrase "just forget me" at the end of the song underscores the singer's feelings of being lost and forgotten.


Overall, the US's "Just Me" is a powerful and relatable reflection on the challenges of finding one's place in the world and the struggle to stay true to oneself in the face of external pressures and expectations.


Line by Line Meaning

I went for a walk today
I took a walk and started thinking


And realized that I've got nowhere to go
I don't have a clear direction in life


Yes I have my goals and I have my dreams
I have aspirations and ambitions


But I haven't got a place to run to
I don't have a support system or a safe haven


And yet they say I belong
People tell me I fit in somewhere


They try calming me down
Others try to ease my anxiety


Telling me I've got it all wrong
They tell me I'm not thinking clearly


But I don't give a damn
I don't care about their opinions


I couldn't care less what you think
Your thoughts don't matter to me


And I'm headed nowhere
I'm lost and don't have a plan


Just forget me
Ignore me, I'll figure it out on my own


Sitting around waiting for the meaning
I'm stuck trying to find my purpose


Of every pain, fear, and rush
Trying to decipher the feelings I experience


Sure I can feel, I can cry, I can laugh
I have emotions that I express


I'm just tired of this joke
My life feels like a cruel prank sometimes


So tell me that I'm dreaming already
I hope this isn't real


Just tell me there's more to this
I hope there's more to life than what I'm experiencing


And tell me I've been tricked into thinking
I wonder if my perception is wrong


This is it
This is all there is


And that there's more waiting for me
I hope there's a better future for me


The good stuff, I'm sure
There must be positive experiences waiting for me


Well I'm just trying to give you
I want to share my thoughts with you


A piece of my mind
I want to express my perspective


A few things, so please listen close
I have some important insights to share


I'm so tired of the fakes
I'm exhausted by fake people and experiences


Getting so sick of letdowns
I'm disappointed by frequent disappointments


And I've made plenty mistakes
I acknowledge that I've made many errors


I regret many things now
I'm experiencing remorse for past decisions


Yet they continue to tell me the same
People keep repeating the same advice


Hey, don't cry
They try to comfort me with consoling words


You're still young, don't forget now
They remind me that I'm still young and have time to figure things out


Yeah I'm headed nowhere
I'm lost and don't have direction


Just forget me
I need to figure my own way out

The boy I trusted. Let's call him "A". He was the only one I told anything too. I gave him all of me. I never gave anyone me! We texted for hours. I started leaving everything behind for him. I stopped dancing so I could talk to him all day. I felt like I was enough for once. But one day. He ignored me. Never answering my texts. When I asked him why he simply said "Cause your weird". One word took the confident girl and made her questiom her weight. Her personality. Her looks. And now she cries herself to sleep. Regrets eating to much. But he also made her start dancing again. He made her remember there is other things then just him. But everynow and then I think about him. His hair. His face. His jokes. All our conversations. I deleted them and regret doing that. I know it was 2 years ago. But it still hurts thinking about his smile. His jokes. His random questions. Him himself. But I will fight through it and so can you.
I know life is hard
I know it hurts
No matter what they say
Can take the pain away
But we can't let it
We need to fight against it
Even when they say they "love you"
It can change in one day.
But we can do it
We can fight
You are beautiful
You are worth it
I am here for you
I am

Actually same goes for too, i don't care about the looks too much
Infact it's the personality that lasts longer than the looks
Can you give me some tips if you don't mind 😅 i mean i am not a bad guy but whenever i see a girl near me, i become so less talkative and starts ignoring her, but later i feel bad for her 😢




Sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language .....

[Verse 1]
It's been way too long for me to find it this hard
Sitting alone my fingers picking the sofa apart
An attempt to distract from the fact that I miss you
I wonder if your friends have had to carry you home
And stay for the night because
They don't want to leave you alone
Way before it was fun, it's becoming an issue

[Pre-Chorus]
I know it's cruel
But I kind of hope you're tortured too

[Chorus]
Tell me does your heart stop
At the party when my name drops
Like you're stood at the platform
When the trains cross
Are you hurting, yeah you must be
Or is it just me?
Tongue-tied, screaming on the inside
When I say that we broke up and they ask why
Are you crying in the shower like a freak?
Or is it just me?

[Verse 2]
I heard a rumour you've been spending some time
With that blonde girl that you work with and
I know she's exactly your type
And my miserable mind's running wild with the picture
Or are you there by yourself, dialing, redialing my number?
And I'm calling your mother, spilling tears on my jumper again
The way I am

[Pre-Chorus]
I know it's cruel
But I kind of hope you're tortured too

[Chorus]
Tell me does your heart stop
At the party when my name drops
Like you're stood at the platform
When the trains cross
Are you hurting, yeah you must be
Or is it just me?
Tongue-tied, screaming on the inside
When I say that we broke up and they ask why
Are you crying in the shower like a freak?
Or is it just me?

[Bridge]
'Cos this would be one whole lot easier
God, I know that's selfish but it's true
If underneath some calm exterior
You're all fucked up too

[Chorus]
Tell me does your heart stop
At the party when my name drops
Like you're stood at the platform
When the trains cross
Are you hurting, yeah you must be
Or is it just me?
Tongue-tied, screaming on the inside
When I say that we broke up and they ask why
Are you crying in the shower like a freak?
With only cigarettes for company?
Are you crying in the shower like a freak?
Or is it just me?

"Are you crying in the shower like a freak?"


Damn.....

@mhm77887

Such a good line honestly. No offense, but the "I miss you" line is kind of typical, even though people can of course use it if they like to. The "are you crying in the shower like a freak" is just so..different. So real, ya know?
