Like That.
Unveiling the Hidden Depths: Decode Shannon Dooley's 'Like That'
Lyrics
You don't even know me
You are not familiar with who I truly am
Like that
Not in that way or to that extent
You think that you could ghost me
You believe you can avoid me without notice
Like that
Similar to line 2, implying a dismissive attitude
To think you never told me
To realize you never disclosed something, and it's disheartening
It's sad
The situation is unfortunate or distressing
And everything is ruined
All aspects are damaged or spoiled
And I'm feeling so bad
The speaker is experiencing intense negative emotions
I bet your feeling so bad
Assuming the other person also feels regretful
This time
Refers to the current situation
Cause you let a good girl
You missed an opportunity with a good person
Blow your mind
Implying the impact of the missed opportunity on the person
And you're feeling helpless
The person is in a state of helplessness
Cause you wanted more
Expressing that the person desired more
And you wish you knew me
You desire to know me, but it's not realized
But you don't even know me
Reiteration that the other person lacks knowledge about the speaker
Like That
Reiterating the lack of deep understanding
You don't even know me
Repeated emphasis on not knowing the speaker
You don't even know me
Further emphasizing the lack of understanding
Like That
Reiteration of the theme
You don't even know me
Emphasizing the lack of deep connection
You don't even know me
Repeating the theme of not being known
Like That
Restating the lack of profound understanding
You never even tried
No effort was made to understand or know the speaker
To see
Reiteration that there was no attempt to comprehend
You never even tried
Emphasizing the absence of effort in getting to know the speaker
To get to know me
Continuing the theme of lack of effort to understand
And now we'll never know
The speaker and the other person will never understand each other
It's unfair
The situation is perceived as unjust
Maybe I am broken
The speaker may be emotionally hurt or damaged
But maybe you were scared
Suggesting that fear may have hindered understanding
But you don't even know me
Reiteration that the other person lacks knowledge about the speaker
Like That
Repeating the theme of not being known
You don't even know me
Emphasizing the lack of deep connection
You don't even know me
Reiteration of the theme
Like That
Continuation of emphasizing the lack of profound understanding
And you will never know me
The other person will never have a deep understanding of the speaker
No, you will never know me
Repeating the idea that profound understanding is unattainable
Like That
Stating that the other person will never know the speaker deeply
Bet you really want me now this time
Repetition of the belief that the other person now desires to know the speaker
Bet you really want me now this time
-Bet you really want me now this time
-Bet you really want me now this time
-Bet you really want me now this time
-Bet you really want me now this time
-Bet you really want me now this time
-Bet you really want me now this time
-You don't even know me
Reiteration of the main theme - the lack of understanding
You don't even know me
-You don't even know me
-You don't even know me
-You don't even know me
-Like That
-(You don't even know me)
-(You don't even know me)
-(You don't even know me)
Final repetition of the central theme
