Lyrics

I don't want to know about evil

I reject information about evil.

I only want to know about love

My focus is solely on understanding love.

I don't want to know about evil

Reiteration of the rejection of knowledge about evil.

I only want to know about love

Reaffirmation of the preference for knowledge about love.


Sometime it gets kinda hard to listen

Expressing difficulty in paying attention.

Hard for me to use my eyes

Difficulty in using one's eyes, possibly metaphorical.

And all around the gold is glistening

Gold symbolizing distractions, trying to stay grounded.

Making sure it keeps me down to size

Ensuring external influences don't inflate one's ego.


And I don't want to know about evil

Reiteration of the preference for knowledge about love.

I only want to know about love

Focusing solely on understanding and experiencing love.

I don't want to know one thing about evil

Strong rejection of any information related to evil.

I only want to know about love

Emphasizing the exclusive interest in love.


I'm waiting for the plains to tumble

Waiting for a transformative event or revelation.

Waiting for the towns to fall

Anticipating changes in society or personal life.

I'm waiting for the cities to crumble

Expecting the breakdown of established structures.

Waiting till I hear the call

Waiting for a significant moment or realization.


It's getting kinda hard to listen

Repeating the difficulty in paying attention.

Hard for us to use our eyes

Collective struggle to see things clearly.

All around the gold is glistening

Gold symbolizing distractions affecting a group.

Making sure it keeps us hypnotized

Ensuring collective hypnosis or distraction.


Yeah, I don't want to know about evil

Reaffirmation of rejection of information about evil.

I only want to know about love

Reiterating the exclusive interest in understanding love.

Yeah, I don't want to know one thing about evil

Strongly emphasizing the avoidance of evil-related knowledge.

I only want to know about love

Reiterating the sole focus on understanding and experiencing love.


And I don't want to know about evil

Consistent rejection of information associated with evil.

I only want to know about love

Continued emphasis on the preference for love-related knowledge.

I don't want to know nothing about evil

Absolute refusal to know anything about evil.

I only want to know about love

Reaffirming the exclusive interest in understanding love.


Yeah, I don't want to know about evil

Reiteration of the rejection of knowledge about evil.

I only want to know about love

Stressing the exclusive focus on understanding and experiencing love.

I don't want to know one thing about evil

Strong declaration of not wanting to know anything about evil.

I only want to know about love

Final emphasis on the sole interest in knowledge about love.
