Lyrics
I cannot tell you what I know I cannot tell you what I know
The speaker is unable to share certain knowledge.
Cause I don't know myself
Expressing uncertainty about self-awareness and understanding.
Always been a strange kid I'm a runaway
Describing a history of being a peculiar and runaway individual.
Been the odd one out since the dog days
Feeling like an outsider since early days.
No, it wasn't really my fault
Denying responsibility for a situation.
No, it wasn't really my fault
Reiterating the denial of fault.
They told me, son, it'll be ok
Receiving reassurance from someone (they told the speaker it will be okay).
Just close your eyes but that was yesterday
Reflecting on advice given in the past, acknowledging it didn't work.
What the hell is going on
Expressing confusion or frustration about the current situation.
What the hell is going on
Repeating the confusion or frustration about the current state.
Feet to the concrete in this old dirty park maybe I can get a fresh start
Physically present in a park, hoping for a new beginning.
Wish I could get myself away maybe I will someday
Expressing a desire to escape or change the current situation eventually.
No, I didn't notice, maybe I should have known this
Reflecting on a lack of awareness, possibly regretting not noticing something.
With I made better choices early on, wish I had a shoulder to lean on
Wishing for better choices in the past and seeking support.
Wish we could take it back to yesterday guess it's true what they all say
Desiring to go back in time, acknowledging common sayings about regrets.
I think I'll be ok
Expressing belief in personal well-being despite challenges.
I think that we will be ok
Extending the belief in collective well-being.
Put me six feet under these streets
Symbolic reference to being buried but asserting independence from the surroundings.
But these streets they don't own me
Affirming resilience against external influences.
Feet to the concrete in this old dirty park maybe I can get a fresh start
Repetition of the desire for a fresh start in the park.
Wish I could get myself away maybe I will someday
Repeating the wish for a future change or escape.
