Do You Even Know
Unraveling Desires: Dylan Emmet's 'Do You Even Know' Meaning
Lyrics
I've been waking up alone
I wake up alone.
You left me here hours ago
You left me here hours ago.
Obsessively check my phone
I obsessively check my phone.
Do you even know?
Questioning if you are aware of my feelings.
Pick apart your every word
I analyze and scrutinize every word you say.
Push it down like I'm unconcerned
I suppress my emotions as if I don't care.
I've been damaged and it shows
Visible signs of emotional damage are evident in my behavior.
Wonder can you tell?
Wondering if you can perceive my struggles.
Wait until you finally call my bluff
Awaiting the moment you expose my false confidence.
Counting down the days til
Counting days until you realize I can never meet your expectations.
You realize I'll never be enough
Acknowledging my inadequacy.
Made myself a mess again
I've created a chaotic situation once again.
Keep it all locked up in my head
Internalizing my struggles and not expressing them.
I know you handle it well and
Recognizing your ability to handle difficulties.
You know I don't
I don't possess the same resilience.
Doesn't bother you a bit
Your actions don't affect you, contrasting with my sensitivity.
Contorting myself
Twisting myself to conform to expectations.
Make it fit
Trying to fit into a mold.
I'll still be anxious as hell
Despite efforts, I remain intensely anxious.
Do you even know?
Questioning if you understand my struggles.
Do you even know?
Reiterating the uncertainty of your understanding.
I can't really help this shit
Feeling unable to control certain aspects of life.
I'm so hyper vigilant
Being overly cautious and alert.
I admit it, I'm taking score
Admitting to keeping score in the relationship.
Just to throw it in your face
Using scores as a way to confront you.
Don't know why I do these things
Unsure about the motivation behind my actions.
Don't wanna be me anymore
Expressing a desire for change.
Wait until you finally call my bluff
Awaiting the revelation of my true emotions.
Counting down the days til
Counting days until you recognize my limitations.
You realize I'll never be enough
Acknowledging my insufficiency in meeting your expectations.
Made myself a mess again
Repeating the pattern of creating chaos.
Keep it all locked up in my head
Internalizing and hiding my struggles.
I know you handle it well and
Acknowledging your ability to cope.
You know I don't
Highlighting my lack of resilience.
Doesn't bother you a bit
Your actions don't disturb you, contrasting with my sensitivity.
Contorting myself
Twisting myself to conform to expectations.
Make it fit
Trying to fit into a mold.
I'll still be anxious as hell
Despite efforts, I remain intensely anxious.
Do you even know?
Questioning if you understand my struggles.
Do you even know?
Reiterating the uncertainty of your understanding.
Made myself a mess again
Repeating the pattern of creating chaos.
Keep it all locked up in my head
Internalizing and hiding my struggles.
I know you handle it well and
Acknowledging your ability to cope.
You know I don't
Highlighting my lack of resilience.
You know I don't
Emphasizing my awareness of my shortcomings.
