Don't Know Much
Navigating Life's Grey: Embracing Stupidity and Finding Light
Lyrics
No, I don't know that much about anything
Expressing a lack of knowledge or expertise in various areas
Yeah, I'm feeling stupid
Feeling unintelligent
An idiot that knew it
Feeling like a foolish person who acknowledges it
You wonder why I'm quiet
Questioning why there's silence or reticence
No, I don't know that much about anything
Reiterating a lack of substantial knowledge
Is it frightening?
Questioning if the lack of knowledge is alarming
Maybe
Uncertainty about the potential fear associated with the lack of knowledge
I don't think books can save me
Expressing skepticism about the ability of books to rescue or enlighten
You wonder if I'm crazy
Raising doubts about one's mental state
No, I don't know that much about anything
Repeating the admission of ignorance
So what
Emphasizing the indifference towards the lack of knowledge
So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-Yeah
Reinforcing indifference
Yeah
-Yeah I am always acting a fool
Admitting to frequently behaving foolishly
Normally I'm fueled with anxiety
Typically being driven by feelings of nervousness and worry
Now and then I try to act cool
Occasionally attempting to appear composed or relaxed
Falling on my face
Facing failures or embarrassments
Yeah, I am good at reading a room
Skilled at understanding social dynamics and brushing off mishaps confidently
Learn to laugh it off with impunity
Learning to cope with difficulties by laughing them off boldly
Easier to say than do
Admitting that it's easier said than done
No, I don't know that much about anything
Reiterating the lack of knowledge and skepticism towards improvement
Yeah, I'm feeling stupid
-An idiot that knew it
-You wonder why I'm quiet
-No, I don't know that much about anything
-Is it frightening?
-Maybe
-I don't think books can save me
-You wonder if I'm crazy
-So what
Emphasizing a dismissive attitude towards the lack of knowledge
So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-Yeah
Repeating the admission of ignorance
No, I don't know that much about anything
Reiterating the indifference towards understanding
So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-Yeah
-Yeah, I don't think I'll ever be right
Expressing doubts about ever being correct
What the hell does that word mean anyway
Questioning the meaning of a specific word ("right")
Yeah, who's in charge of darkness and light
Questioning who has control over opposing forces
When everything is grey
When faced with uncertainty, everything seems ambiguous or neutral
No, I don't know that much about anything
Reiteration of lack of knowledge and doubts about improvement
Yeah, I'm feeling stupid
-An idiot that knew it
-You wonder why I'm quiet
-No, I don't know that much about anything
-Is it frightening?
-Maybe
-I don't think books can save me
-You wonder if I'm crazy
-So what
Continued indifference and dismissal towards understanding
So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-Yeah
Repeating the admission of ignorance
No, I don't know that much about anything
Reinforcing the indifferent attitude
So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-Yeah
-So what
Continued dismissiveness and indifference towards understanding
So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-So what
-Yeah
Reiterating the indifferent stance
