Just Kids
Unveiling the Shadows: Black Bouquet's 'Just Kids' Meaning
Lyrics
I find myself living in fear of how we're bound
I am afraid of the connection or commitment we share
You're all around
Your presence is pervasive
You're in the air, you're human now
You exist in the atmosphere, now human
That you're not here
You are not physically present
I fell asleep in my makeup
I fell asleep with my makeup on
Oh what does that make us
What does our shared action imply about us?
You sleep till you wake up
You sleep until you wake up
You just didn't wake up
You didn't wake up (possibly metaphorical)
You know you don't need them
You don't require certain things, but you still accept them
But yet you still take them
You acknowledge the lack of necessity but still indulge
You just didn't wake up
You didn't wake up (repeated line)
So what does that make us
What does our shared inaction imply about us?
It's not like you want to
You're not driven by desire, more by obligation
It's more like you've got to
You feel compelled rather than wanting
Those big German nightclubs sucked you in like a vacuum
Nightclubs in Germany strongly attracted you
Who's left to run from?
No one is left to escape from
Man nobody forgot you
No one has forgotten you
We're all just left hanging like you dreamt in your bathroom
We're all left hanging as if in your bathroom dreams
I know I can't stop you
I cannot prevent you from leaving
You can leave if you want to
You have the freedom to leave if you choose
The poison's less bad there, there's less people to harm you
The environment there is less harmful, fewer people to hurt you
Your worth makes you haunting
Your value or impact is haunting or profound
I can't say that I need you
I cannot claim that I require you
If you fly home I'll leave my light on to guide you
If you return, I will keep a light on to guide you
