Just Like Before
Navigating Love's Rollercoaster: Adolescents' 'Just Like Before' Explained
Lyrics
You yell and scream for no reason at all
You express frustration and anger without apparent cause.
You pick up shit and throw it at me then you start to bawl
You engage in destructive behavior by throwing things and then cry.
You should see yourself! Hear yourself! A fucking child!
The speaker points out your immature behavior, urging self-awareness.
I'm tryin' to find a reason for you going so wild
The speaker seeks understanding for your intense and erratic actions.
"What's wrong?" I ask, you say "You said something mean!"
The speaker inquires about the reason for your distress, and you attribute it to a perceived unkind remark.
Every word I utter, man, I gotta screen
The speaker feels the need to filter their words to avoid conflict.
This shit has gotta stop before I go berserk
A call to end the destructive pattern before it escalates into chaos.
Tryin' to decide which one of us is the jerk
The speaker contemplates who is at fault in the ongoing conflicts.
We yell and we fight 'til no end
Constant arguing without resolution.
For reasons I can't understand
The speaker is perplexed by the unclear reasons behind the fights.
And then we make up just like billions of times before
Despite conflicts, there's a pattern of reconciliation as seen in past experiences.
For a while we're just lovers and friends
After the fights, there's a phase of being affectionate and friendly.
Then shit hits the fan once again
However, the situation deteriorates again, leading to more conflicts.
And then we do fight just like billions of times before
A repetition of the cycle, fighting akin to previous occurrences.
Play on, Stay on
An ambiguous statement that may suggest continuing the cycle.
Just like billions of times before
Reiterating the repetitive nature of conflicts as experienced before.
Just like before
Emphasizing the familiarity of the situation, echoing past occurrences.
Just like before
Repeating the assertion of similarity to past events.
Just like before
Further emphasizing the cyclic nature of conflicts.
I don't want it no more!
The speaker expresses a desire to break free from this repetitive cycle.
