Do They Know
Journey to Self-Discovery: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Full Crate's 'Do They Know'
Lyrics
One, two, three, and
Introduction to the song, counting in before the lyrics start.
Do they know Paradiso all again?
Reflecting on whether people understand the experience of Paradiso (a reference to a heavenly place) all over again.
Come so close just to be back in my head
Expressing the feeling of coming close to something but ending up lost in one's thoughts.
Back to the future back to being sooner
Referencing time travel and returning to a previous state, possibly regretting past decisions.
I can't stay out of place, no more (one, two, three, and)
Feeling out of place and the desire to be more grounded.
Do they know I hesitate before I press play
Questioning whether others are aware of the hesitation before taking action, specifically before pressing play (possibly a metaphor for making life choices).
Does it show?
Asking if the hesitation is evident to others.
I hate that it's the buzz that I've craved
Acknowledging a dislike for the attention or excitement one has sought after.
But I'm trying
Expressing an effort to change and improve despite challenges.
I'm living in my light and I know the distance I'll go
Embracing one's unique path and understanding the challenges ahead.
Do they know that I cry that night (I cry that night)
Sharing vulnerability, admitting to crying at night.
I'm just trying to be more honest, yeah
Striving for honesty and authenticity.
Swear I've grown, I've grown so much
Claiming personal growth and development.
And I'm just trying to be less nice
Expressing a desire to be less accommodating or agreeable.
No imposter, the truth will cost you
Asserting authenticity, emphasizing that the truth has a price.
I can't spare no change sometimes
Financial metaphor, indicating an inability to spare emotional or material resources at times.
I will cross the water as I take my time
Metaphorically crossing water, taking one's time in the journey of life.
I'm begging you please don't judge
Pleading for understanding and asking not to be judged.
So please, please
A plea for acceptance and recognition of the best qualities within oneself.
Oh, please
Reiteration of the plea for acceptance.
See the best in me, me
Requesting others to see the positive aspects of the speaker.
