Know You
Discovering the Authentic You: Sage & Syrup's 'Know You' Unveiled
Lyrics
Wake up, you never got around to being you again
Expressing regret or disappointment about not rediscovering one's true self.
Make up with all your little problems and your nasty friends
Suggesting a need to reconcile with personal issues and questionable acquaintances.
I'd like to think that you finally stepped outside
Hoping that the person has ventured outside of their comfort zone.
But I'm sure you'll see another day to throw away your pride
Anticipating another day where pride is discarded or wasted.
I wanna know you, not who you're trying to be
Desire to understand the genuine self, not the façade presented.
I wanna show you what everyone can see
Intent to reveal the true self, visible to everyone.
I wanna hear you scream at the top of your lungs
Expressing a wish to witness genuine emotions and passion.
Take it all in while you've got it, you're still young
Encouraging to embrace the present and youth while it lasts.
It shows, you'll hold onto the chance of tasting something sweet
Recognizing a tendency to cling to fleeting pleasures or opportunities.
You know that letting go is easier than pulling teeth
Acknowledging that releasing attachments is easier than enduring difficulty.
I tried to find myself in everything you do
Attempting to find one's identity through the actions of another person.
But I'm sure you're looking for my sentiment in someone new
Suspecting that the other person is seeking emotional connection elsewhere.
I wanna know you, not who you're trying to be (I wanna know you)
Reiteration of the desire to understand the authentic self, not the projected image.
I wanna show you what everyone can see (I want to know you)
Reiterating the intention to showcase the true self for everyone to see.
I wanna hear you scream at the top of your lungs (I wanna know you)
Re-emphasizing the desire to experience genuine emotions and expressions.
Take it all in while you've got it, you're still young
Encouraging the person to absorb and enjoy life fully, considering their youth.
I wanna know you, not who you're trying to be
Restating the desire to comprehend the real identity of the person.
I wanna know you, not who you're trying to be (I wanna know you)
Repeating the wish to understand the true self, emphasizing sincerity.
I wanna show you what everyone can see (I want to know you)
Reiterating the intention to display authenticity for everyone to perceive.
I wanna hear you scream at the top of your lungs (I wanna know you)
Re-emphasizing the longing to hear unrestrained and genuine expressions.
Take it all in while you've got it, you're still young
Encouraging to seize the moment and appreciate life, particularly in youth.
