Lyrics
What do I know
Uncertainty about knowledge and understanding.
Is it pain or sunshine
Contemplation of whether the current situation brings pain or happiness.
Hanging on to
Clutching onto something, possibly a relationship or a decision.
Or simply wasting my time
Doubt about the value of current actions, questioning if time is being wasted.
Lighting bonfires
Creating significant situations or problems.
Lightning never strikes here
Assurance that no unforeseen events will disrupt the current state.
Tell me secrets
Seeking disclosure of hidden information.
I know
Already possessing some secrets or knowledge.
I want to know
Expressing a desire for more information.
I don't wanna go out tonight
Reluctance to go out for the night.
I'll stay at home if that's alright
Preferably staying home for the evening.
You go off and play your game for two
Suggesting a partner engaging in a separate activity for two people.
Because I'm damned if I don't
Feeling destined for negative consequences if not taking action.
And I'm damned if I do
Caught in a dilemma where both choices lead to undesirable outcomes.
Have you heard this
Asking if the listener is aware of a particular situation or information.
Can I tell you something
Seeking permission to share something personal.
It's hardly seismic
Downplaying the significance of what will be shared, possibly trivial or minor.
More like a rumour type thing
Describing the information as more of a gossip-like nature than truly helpful.
Not very helpful
Acknowledging the lack of usefulness unless directly presented.
Unless it's laid before you
Emphasizing the importance of context in understanding information.
Beautiful lie
Reference to a deceptive or attractive falsehood.
Get it right
Encouragement to comprehend the situation accurately.
Get it this time
Urging to grasp the truth this time.
I don't wanna go out tonight
Reiteration of the reluctance to go out for the night.
I'll stay at home if that's alright
Reaffirmation of the preference to stay home.
You go off and play your game for two
Repetition of the suggestion for the partner to engage in a separate activity.
Because I'm damned if I don't
Reiteration of the feeling of being destined for negative consequences if no action is taken.
And I'm damned if I do
Reaffirmation of the dilemma where both choices lead to undesirable outcomes.
