You Know How It Is
Restless Flames: Unveiling the Intensity of 'You Know How It Is'
Lyrics
It's been too safe It's been too safe for too long
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state, suggesting a need for change.
So little reaction to get it better right or wrong
Not enough response or effort to improve, regardless of the correctness of the action.
And I'm feeling restless here good intentions and barbed wire
Feeling uneasy with good intentions hindered by obstacles (barbed wire).
I want to go elsewhere and set this place on fire
Expressing a desire for radical change, using metaphorical language like setting the place on fire.
No one move
Repetition emphasizing stillness, perhaps a call for attention or contemplation.
No one move
-No one move
-No one move
-We just want to know what's been waiting just outside
Seeking knowledge or understanding of what's outside the current situation.
And were looking for the heat and sweat, restless tears, sincerity
Desire for intensity, passion, and sincerity, symbolized by heat, sweat, and restless tears.
These walls are cold from flames that give off only light
Walls are cold from superficial sources (flames that only give off light).
Can't be content with less than everything
Unwilling to settle for anything less than everything.
No one move
Repetition reinforcing the call for stillness or pause.
No one move
-No one move
-I want to keep my eyes on you
Desire to focus and keep attention on something significant or meaningful.
No less than everything
Emphasis on the importance of achieving or obtaining everything.
No less than everything
-No less than everything
-Set this place on fire
Reiterating the desire for radical change, using the metaphor of setting the place on fire.
No one move
Repetition for emphasis on stillness or a moment of reflection.
No one move
-No one move
-No one move
-I want to keep my eyes on you
Reaffirming the desire to keep focus and attention on something significant.
