What Do I Know
Navigating Adulthood: Embracing Uncertainty with One Flew West
Lyrics
I guess I'm growing up
I am in the process of maturing.
But as the days go by, I think I'm doing it wrong
Despite growing up, I feel that I may not be progressing in the right way.
I got a degree, but they keep asking me
Even though I have a degree, people keep asking about my future plans.
Have you got plans?
People inquire if I have concrete plans for the future.
What have you've got known?
What do you know about the things I have experienced?
But hey, what the hell do I know?
Expressing uncertainty and humility, questioning one's knowledge.
I still feel like a child
Despite growing up, I still feel like a child.
Yo, hey, I don't need questions
Emphasizing independence and resistance to being questioned.
I just wanna do my goddamn thing
Desire for autonomy and the pursuit of personal goals.
All my friends are getting married
Observation of friends' milestones (marriage, jobs, relocation) highlighting personal differences.
Finding outter jobs and moving far away
Friends are taking on responsibilities, while the speaker remains true to themselves.
But I'm just me, that's all they want to be
Embracing individuality, content with being oneself.
If you've got a problem, you can just say it to my face
Openness to direct communication, preferring honesty.
But hey, what the hell do I know?
Reiteration of uncertainty and questioning one's knowledge and maturity.
I still feel like a child
Despite growing up, the speaker still feels like a child.
Yo, hey, I don't need questions
Emphasizing the desire to avoid being questioned.
I just wanna do my goddamn thing
Reaffirmation of the desire for autonomy and pursuing personal objectives.
But hey, what the hell do I know?
Continued uncertainty about one's knowledge and maturity.
I still act like a child
Despite growing up, the speaker still acts like a child.
Yo, hey, what the hell do I know?
Expressing uncertainty about what the speaker knows.
I still feel like a child
Reiteration of feeling like a child despite growing up.
Yo, hey, I don't need questions
Emphasizing independence and resistance to being questioned.
I just wanna do my goddamn thing
Expressing the strong desire to pursue personal goals without interference.
