I Knocked
Silent Envy Unveiled: I Knocked by Kid in Alaska
Lyrics
I knocked but didn't know who answered
I attempted to make contact, but I was uncertain about the identity of the responder.
I guess that I was absent
I realize now that I was not present or attentive during a significant moment.
I know you could not have replaced me
I am confident that no one could have taken my place in your life.
But didn't know who you preach with silent envy
I was unaware of who you associate with, expressing silent jealousy or resentment.
Never thought that I could
I never believed it possible for me to destroy the connections I had established.
Burn the bridge to the world I built, ah
I am now facing the consequences of severing ties with the world I constructed.
Praying for love now stings
Seeking love now causes pain and discomfort.
And I just have to build it back again and again
I must repeatedly rebuild the bridge I burned, acknowledging the challenge it presents.
Until I learn the way you take it
I will persist until I understand the approach you take in handling such situations.
I knocked but didn't know who answered
Similar to line 1, reiterating the confusion about the responder's identity.
I guess that I was absent
Reaffirming the realization of my absence or inattentiveness during a crucial moment.
I know you could not have replaced me
Reiterating the conviction that no one could replace me in your life.
But didn't know who you preach with silent envy
Repeating the lack of knowledge about the person you associate with and their silent envy.
Envy, envy
Emphasizing the theme of envy.
I felt the door open slowly
I sensed the door opening slowly, indicating a gradual revelation or opportunity.
As the curtains
A pause or continuation from the previous line, possibly involving curtains.
They started strangling me
The curtains symbolically causing discomfort or pressure.
I felt them closing
Sensing the curtains closing, signifying a potential confinement or restriction.
Wrapping around my body
The curtains wrapping around the speaker's body, intensifying the sense of entrapment.
And I was lost
Feeling lost, possibly in the face of forgiveness and a gender-neutral, inclusive experience.
Into a puddle of forgiveness and genderless blood
Immersed in a metaphorical pool of forgiveness and genderless unity.
I knocked but didn't know who answered
Repetition of the uncertainty regarding the identity of the responder.
I guess that I was absent
Restating the acknowledgment of my absence or inattentiveness during a significant moment.
I know you could not have replaced me
Reiterating the confidence that no one could have taken my place.
But didn't know who you preach with silent envy (no you could've not)
Repeating the lack of knowledge about the person you associate with, emphasizing impossibility.
I knocked
A final repetition of the attempt to make contact without knowing the responder's identity.
