Like You Don't Know by Now
Navigating Life's Maze: Unveiling the Depths of 'Like You Don't Know by Now'
Lyrics
Will we make it through to the other side?
Expressing uncertainty about overcoming challenges and reaching a positive outcome.
We can frame it like a laugh so we don't cry
Suggesting the possibility of masking difficult emotions with humor to avoid expressing sadness.
We've been down on our luck so low we're high
Describing a period of hardship that has been endured to the extent that it feels euphoric.
Like you don't know by now
Reiterating a point that the listener should be aware of or understand at this point.
Wake up in the morning and start anew
Encouraging a fresh start in the morning, acknowledging the impact of moments that bother or disturb.
It only takes a beat before it bothered you
Highlighting the quick onset of disturbance or discomfort after starting the day.
And it follows you around till your day is through
Emphasizing the persistence of negative experiences throughout the day.
Like you don't know by now
Repeating the notion that the listener should be aware or familiar with the discussed circumstances.
Like you don't know by now
Reiterating the idea for emphasis.
I can't understand what you're trying to do
Expressing confusion or inability to comprehend the actions or intentions of someone.
You've been grieving like a widow baby, why so blue?
Noting the melancholic demeanor of someone and questioning the reason for their sadness.
If you leave me just a little I will try for you
Promising effort and dedication if given a chance, reinforcing the theme of uncertainty.
Like you don't know by now
Reaffirming the notion that the circumstances should be evident or understood by now.
Scared to close my eyes till I pass out cold
Expressing fear or hesitation about resting or being vulnerable until unconsciousness.
So I rest my chin here and I search for gold
Choosing to rest the chin and metaphorically searching for valuable experiences or moments.
We could be waiting on a sign until we grow old
Waiting for a sign or direction in life, contemplating the passage of time.
Like you don't know by now
Reiterating the idea that the listener should be aware or familiar with the discussed circumstances.
Like you don't know by now
Emphasizing the repeated theme of uncertainty and lack of awareness.
Tied to tons but can't keep me around
Feeling restricted or bound by responsibilities but resisting being kept in one place.
Through the floor now baby underground
Metaphorically descending to a lower point, perhaps feeling isolated or detached.
And I feel the weight pressing down
Experiencing a heavy emotional burden or pressure.
Like you don't know by now
Reiterating the idea that the listener should be aware or familiar with the discussed circumstances.
Building with sticks of dynamite
Describing the construction of something fragile and potentially dangerous.
We thought it was a brick so we packed it tight
Mistaking the nature of a situation, raising concerns about the consequences of a potential failure.
If it goes up in a flash will we be all right?
Questioning the outcome if a precarious situation becomes critical.
Like you don't know by now
Reiterating the idea that the listener should be aware or familiar with the discussed circumstances.
Like you don't know by now
Emphasizing the repeated theme of uncertainty and lack of awareness.
Like you don't know by now
Repeating the notion for added emphasis.
Like you don't know by now
Concluding the repetition of the theme, emphasizing the expectation of awareness.
