I Know
Reflections on a Decade: Unraveling Love's Complexity in 'I Know'
Lyrics
Ten years passed just like that
Ten years passed quickly, possibly reflecting the swift passage of time.
Changes came at the drop of a hat
Rapid changes occurred unexpectedly.
Blinding the eyes of this love
The intensity of changes obscured the clarity of love.
We can't go forward on these fumes
Progress is hindered by insufficient resources or energy.
I'm taking walks while you're crying in the room
The narrator is emotionally distant, taking walks while their partner is distressed.
It's breaking dawn, but the darkness still lingers
Despite the dawn, emotional darkness persists.
We fight in silence every day
A relationship is characterized by silent conflicts.
Screaming words, we will never say
Unspoken words lead to unresolved issues.
In the field of love, no one even wants to play anymore
Love has become a challenging and undesirable field of engagement.
I know it's easy to say all the things that you won't do
It's easy to articulate intentions, but actions speak louder.
But I know it's hard for me, looking back on all the things I've done
Reflecting on past actions is personally challenging.
Maybe there's a reconcile
Hope for reconciliation or resolution.
Maybe there's an answer why
Seeking reasons for the breakdown of what was built.
We break known the things we build
Destroying what was created.
We take back the things we give
Retracting previous offerings or gestures.
Maybe there's a lesson to learn
Searching for lessons in the destruction of connections.
The reasons we burn down our bridges night and day
Exploring the causes behind burning bridges continuously.
I know it's easy to say all the things that you won't do
Reiteration of the difficulty in translating intentions into actions.
But I know that it's hard for me, looking back on all the things I've done
Personal struggle in confronting past actions.
And while we wait in that space of contemplation
During a period of reflection, regrets arise from missed opportunities.
Regrets are born from past actions never taken
Regrets stem from inaction and decisions not taken in the past.
No keys to Home Sweet Home
A metaphorical reference to a lack of direction or stability.
Forgiveness continues to roam
Forgiveness remains elusive and unsettled.
Yes, we're together, but we're so alone
Despite being physically together, emotional distance prevails.
I know it's so easy to say, but it's so hard to do.
Reiteration of the challenge in turning intentions into actions.
I know it's easy to say all the things that you won't do
Emphasizing the difficulty in translating intentions into actions.
But I know that it's hard for me, looking back on all the things I've done
Personal struggle and reflection on past actions.
