You Did Not Know
Unveiling the Hidden Pain: Strange Bangs' 'You Did Not Know' Deep Dive
Lyrics
I put on some clothes that weren't mine
I wore clothes that didn't belong to me
Hoping it would help my mind
Hoping it would provide mental relief
And I painted on to my face
I applied makeup to disguise my identity
And covered any trace of my name
Covering any sign or hint of my name
You did not know
Emphasizing that the person being addressed was unaware
You did not know
-You did not know
-You did not know
-So I slipped on some shoes that hurt
I chose uncomfortable shoes, perhaps as self-punishment
Cause I felt like it was what I deserved
Feeling it was a deserved consequence
So I cut my sleeves and I cut my hair
I mutilated my sleeves and cut my hair
Started saying things like I'd go anywhere
Expressing a willingness to go anywhere
You did not know
Reiteration that the other person was oblivious
You did not know
-You did not know
-You did not know
-You did not know
-You did not know
-You did not know
-No you did not know
-So I cut my sleeves and I cut my hair
Repetition of the act of self-mutilation and the declaration of readiness to go anywhere
Started saying things like I'd go anywhere
-But there's just one thing that I cannot lose
Despite all the changes, there's something the speaker cannot give up
Look me in the eye, say you didn't choose
Challenging the other person to deny a particular choice or action
