Don't Pretend You Didn't Know
Unveiling the Depths: Dinosaur Jr.'s Enigmatic Message in 'Don't Pretend You Didn't Know'
Lyrics
Waiting on the top
Anticipating from a superior position
All the people all the time
Everyone, constantly
Waiting as a crew
Anticipating together as a group
Don't pretend you didn't know
Don't act unaware of something you should know
I know is no end
There's no conclusion or limit
I know a sick game
Understanding a twisted or manipulative situation
Waiting on the top
Anticipating from a higher vantage point
All the people thinking
Everyone thinking or pondering
Waiting not to shoot
Anticipating without acting aggressively
I got off, but
I stepped away, but
I know, know, know
Repeated emphasis on knowing
I know, know, know
-Calling all the time..
Constantly asking for attention
Feeling back and deeper, deeper, deeper
Feeling increasingly intense
Running for a sign
Striving for a signal or indication
I'm back to changing facts
Returning to altering the truth
Will say that she's a she's a keeper
Suggesting someone is worth keeping
Waiting as a crew
Anticipating together as a group
Don't pretend cause I don't know
Don't feign ignorance because I'm unaware
Waiting not to do
Anticipating without taking action
Not the way I feel this is
This isn't how I truly feel
I know it's far from
It's far from what I perceive
I know it I know
Repeated acknowledgment of knowing
Crying all the time,
Crying frequently
Discharge is a sign
Release or discharge is a sign
Can't only if that look is gonna last the end
Uncertain about the duration of a certain look or situation
I'm on the ride, don't let me
I'm involved, don't abandon me
Waiting on the shelf
Anticipating while not needing something
I don't need it, what it is?
Waiting without understanding what's awaited
Waiting, easy friend
Anticipating, possibly addressing a friend
Not despite what you just said
Contradicting what was just stated
I know
Acknowledgment of understanding
Waiting, waiting, waiting!
Repeated waiting, possibly with frustration or impatience
Waiting, waiting, waiting!
