Unveiling Depths: Drowning Pool's 'Understand' Message
Lyrics
I don't need to clear my walls
The speaker doesn't feel the need to make themselves emotionally vulnerable.
At least not for you
Especially not for the person they're addressing.
I don't need to hear the truth
They don't expect honesty or sincerity from this individual.
Never from you
They're certain that truth won't come from this person.
I won't be what you want, never, never
The speaker refuses to conform to the desires of the other person.
I won't be what you want, never, never
Reinforces the refusal to meet the other person's expectations.
Won't feel what you got, never, never
They won't experience what the other person has or feels.
I'm so proud to be so loud
The speaker is proud of being assertive or outspoken.
When the rain comes, it will not wash you clean
The other person won't be cleansed or redeemed by any difficulties that come.
And when the suffer mean
The speaker won't sympathize until the other person understands.
Not till you, not till you get what I mean
The speaker is prepared for confrontation or challenges.
I'm ready now, for the flames,
They're ready for excitement or thrills, seeking them actively.
For the things it sounds fun, I want some
When the topic arises, the speaker prefers avoiding it while you flee.
When you talk about, I would rather [?] as you run
Avoiding exposure to the sun metaphorically, possibly seeking darkness.
From the sun
Running away from the source of illumination or truth.
Cause you don't understand
The person being addressed lacks comprehension.
You just can't understand
Reiterates the lack of understanding by the other person.
I won't take [?] with you, or ride the truth
Refusing to engage or collaborate with the person, rejecting honesty.
Break my side, bend the rules
Not succumbing to pressure or breaking the speaker's principles.
All locked by few
Rules and values are strictly upheld, not easily influenced.
I won't be what you want, never, never
Reasserting the refusal to conform to the other person's desires.
I won't be what you want, never, never
Emphasizing the rejection of the other person's expectations.
Won't feel what you got, never, never
Won't empathize or share the other person's emotions or experiences.
I'm so proud to be so loud
Expressing pride in being vocal or assertive.
When the rain comes, it will not wash you clean
No amount of difficulty will redeem or cleanse the other person.
And when the suffer mean
The other person won't understand suffering until they comprehend.
Not till you, not till you get what I mean
The speaker is prepared for challenges or confrontation.
I'm ready now, for the flames,
Ready for excitement or risky experiences.
For the things it sounds fun, I want some
Avoiding a topic while the other person flees.
When you talk about, I would rather [?] as you run
Avoiding exposure to truth or enlightenment, seeking darkness.
From the sun
Running away from illumination or the truth.
Cause you don't understand
Reiterating the lack of understanding by the other person.
You just can't understand
Emphasizing the other person's inability to comprehend.
Treat your wings, we're going
Encouraging the other person to spread their wings and move forward.
They're the prize, forever be told
Highlighting that the rewards will always be spoken of or remembered.
It's alright, it's alright,
Reassuring the other person that everything will be fine.
You're so good [?] here we are
A line that's unclear or ambiguous in meaning.
Together in cold
Together in difficult or challenging situations.
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Repeating that everything will be fine, emphasizing it's okay.
Never, never, never
Stating the refusal or resistance emphatically.
I'm ready now, for the flames,
Preparedness for confrontation or challenges.
For the things it sounds fun, I want some
Seeking excitement or thrill actively.
When you talk about, I would rather [?] as you run
Avoiding a topic while the other person flees.
From the sun
Avoiding exposure to truth or enlightenment, seeking darkness.
Cause you don't understand
Running away from illumination or the truth.
You just can't understand.
Reiterating the lack of understanding by the other person.
