Lyrics
I recognize the pieces but
I am familiar with the elements, but
I don't know where they fit.
I am uncertain about their placement or relevance.
to analyze the universe to bits.
Attempting to break down the universe into small components.
I know exactly just enough
I possess a limited understanding
I know all there is to know
I claim to know everything there is to know
I'm all messed up, nowhere to go.
Feeling confused and directionless.
About nothing at all.
Knowledgeable about nothing in particular.
Ask me my address I can't recall.
Unable to recall basic personal information like my address.
It's my fault.
Accepting responsibility for my lack of knowledge.
I don't know.
Expressing uncertainty or lack of awareness.
I'm an educated idiot.
Describing myself as someone who is knowledgeable yet foolish.
I'm smart enough to know
Being aware of my own limited intelligence.
I know how an engine works
Familiar with the functioning of an engine.
I know where Old Zealand is
Knowledgeable about the location of Old Zealand.
I don't know how to drive.
Unaware of how to operate a vehicle.
But I barely know my left feet from my right.
Struggling to differentiate left from right.
I'm not sure if I fit.
Uncertain if I belong or fit in.
I recognize the species but
Familiar with the species but
To analyze the universe to bits.
Continuing to break down the universe into fragments.
I quit.
Deciding to quit or give up.
We know exactly just enough
We possess a limited understanding.
Smart enough to know
Aware of our own limited intelligence.
an educated idiot
Describing oneself as an educated fool.
I'm an educated idiot
Reiterating the self-awareness of being an educated fool.
Sure is good to know
Expressing relief in knowing that I am not alone in this.
I'm not alone.
Feeling comforted by the knowledge that others share the same predicament.
