Everyone Knows
Unveiling Life's Symphony: A Poetic Reflection by Elliott Waits For No One
Lyrics
Stand around the edge and see
Observing from the outskirts, taking in the impact of the world on oneself
What the world has done to me
Reflecting on the consequences and effects the world has had on the individual
Close your eyes and make believe
Encouraging imagination by closing one's eyes, suggesting a need for escapism
It just don't work unless you're free
Stating that things don't function well unless one is liberated or free
Everyone knows
Expressing a shared understanding among people
How it goes
Acknowledging the universal knowledge of a situation
Everyone knows
Repetition emphasizing the widespread awareness of a circumstance
Everyone knows
Reiterating the idea that everyone is aware
You'll find me hear unless you steer
Indicating a location where the speaker can be found unless guided elsewhere
I can't drive it kills the fear
Expressing a fear of driving and how it can be fatal
Everyone's dissatisfied
Highlighting a general sense of dissatisfaction among people
All it does is make me cry
Describing the impact of dissatisfaction, leading to emotional distress
Everyone knows
Reaffirming the shared awareness of a situation
How it goes
Restating the common understanding of how things unfold
Everyone knows
Emphasizing the widespread awareness once again
Everyone knows
Reiterating that everyone is conscious of the circumstances
Live eat dream and then we die
Summarizing life as a cycle of living, eating, dreaming, and ultimately dying
Some of us start asking why
Noting that some individuals question the purpose or meaning of life
Love has thrown a bitter flame
Describing love as a painful experience
To all who choose to play the game
Suggesting that those who engage in the game of love experience hardship
Everyone knows
Reaffirming the common understanding of how situations unfold in life
How it goes
Restating the universal knowledge of the way things go
Everyone knows
Emphasizing once more the widespread awareness of a circumstance
Everyone knows
Reiterating that everyone is aware of the given situations
