Ju - just while love
Just while love remembers
Just while love
Just while love
Just while love remembers
Unknow, as hard as it seems
Decide it and feel light on the breeze
And it’s alright you can lean it
You can lean it
You can lean it
You can lean it
You can lean it
You can lean it on me
And I know, it’s all you can see and to shake it
To make it fall from the tree
And you’re called into the water
And it holds you like a tropical disease
And you lean into the weather and it drops you, drops you
Just while love
(I was given, these lungs)
Just while love
(And I don’t feel ashamed no more)
Just while love, remembers
(We were ripped from these arms)
(They no longer protect us)
Just while love
(I was given, these lungs)
Just while love
(And I don't feel ashamed no more)
Just while love, remembers
(We were ripped from those arms)
(They no longer protect us)
Unknow me, pour me away
Pour me, pour me, pour me away
Just while love
(I was given, these lungs)
Just while love
(And I won’t be ashamed no more)
Just while love, remembers
(We were ripped from those arms)
(They no longer protect us)
Just while love
(I was given, these lungs)
Just while love
(And I won't feel ashamed no more)
Just while love, remembers
(We were ripped from those arms)
(They no longer protect us)
Just while love, while
Just while love, remembers
Just while love
Just while love
Just while love, remembers
Just while love, while
Just while love, remembers
About This Song
"Unknown" is a haunting and atmospheric track that explores themes of uncertainty, emotional dependency, and the fragility of love and memory. The song's repetitive, almost mantra-like lyrics ("Just while love remembers") create a hypnotic quality that reflects the cyclical nature of doubt and longing, while the metaphor of being "called into the water" and held "like a tropical disease" suggests both the allure and danger of surrendering to unknown emotional territory. Musically, The Maccabees craft a dreamy, indie rock soundscape with layered guitars and a gentle, flowing rhythm that mirrors the water imagery throughout the song. The track's emphasis on "leaning" on someone reveals a deep vulnerability and need for support when facing life's uncertainties. As part of "Given To The Wild," this song showcases the band's ability to blend introspective lyricism with expansive, cinematic arrangements that capture the complexity of human relationships and our struggle to find stability in an unpredictable world.
