Know What It Means
Unveiling the Depths: Exploring Freedom and Conformity in 'Know What It Means'
Lyrics
Remember what its like to me you?
Asking if the listener remembers what it feels like to be the speaker
To be you
Emphasizing the focus on the listener's perspective and experience
Remember what its like to be me?
Asking if the listener remembers the speaker's experience
To be me
Emphasizing the importance of understanding the speaker's perspective
All that I see these eyes in my dreams
Referring to the visual elements perceived in dreams
These thought police coming for me
Mentioning the fear of authoritative control represented by "thought police"
Do you know what it means
Pose a question about understanding the meaning of freedom
What it means to be free
Directly asking if the listener comprehends the essence of being free
Do you know what it means
Reiterating the question about the understanding of freedom
To be free? (me)
Rephrasing the question, adding a personal touch with "me"
Neither do I
Expressing uncertainty about understanding the concept of freedom
Neither do we
Extending the uncertainty to a collective "we"
Do you know what its like to be one
Asking if the listener knows the experience of being part of a group
One of us
Emphasizing the sense of unity within a collective identity
Do you know what its like to be one
Repeating the question about understanding the group experience
One of us
Reiterating the idea of being part of a collective identity
One is the family perfect in apathy
Describing the collective as a family characterized by apathy
Being a clone isn't all that it promised to be
Highlighting the disappointment in being a clone, not living up to promises
I am invisible just like you
Stating the speaker's invisibility and similarity to the listener
Just a reflection of what I consume
Describing the speaker as a reflection of consumed influences
Now I myself will be consumed
Anticipating self-consumption, possibly influenced by external factors
Consumed for the sake of you
Expressing the willingness to be consumed for the sake of the listener
