Just Like I
Xenia Rubinos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I buy just what you sell me
Every single day
I eat the stuff you feed me
Every single day
Sacrifice for my family
Every single day
Living in the places you built for me
Oh just like I
Oh just like I love, I kill, I kill
Oh just like I
Oh just like I
Oh just like I love, I kill, I kill you
Every single day
I go to work, I fill my cup
Every single day
I pray to god to lift me up
Oh just like I
Oh just like I
Oh just like I love, I kill, I kill
I'm just like my mother
I'm just like my father
I'm just like your sister, your brother, your mother
Oh with the same teeth
With the same teeth
Oh with the same teeth I smile, I bite you
With the same lips
With the same lips
Oh with the same lips I kiss, I lie too
With the same eyes
With the same eyes
Oh with the same eyes you use, I watch you
With the same hands
With the same hands
Oh with the same hands, that feed I stab you
Oh just like I
Oh just like I
Oh just like I love, I kill, I kill
The lyrics of Xenia Rubinos's song Just Like I explore the theme of the human condition and how we can often find ourselves blindly following societal norms and expectations without questioning them. The repetition of the phrase "Every single day" emphasizes the monotony of our lives and how we often keep doing the same things without thinking about them. The lines "I'm just like my mother / I'm just like my father / I'm just like your sister, your brother, your mother" suggest the idea of generational patterns and how we inherit certain traits and behaviors from our families and communities.
The chorus "Oh just like I / Oh just like I / Oh just like I love, I kill, I kill" is a powerful statement that suggests the duality of human nature. We are capable of both love and destruction, and sometimes these two impulses can exist within us simultaneously. The lyrics "With the same teeth I smile, I bite you / With the same lips I kiss, I lie too / With the same eyes you use, I watch you / With the same hands, that feed I stab you" further underscore this idea, showing how we can use the same tools or actions for both positive and negative outcomes.
Overall, the lyrics of Just Like I challenge us to reflect on our actions and motives, and question the societal systems and expectations that shape our lives.
