Lyrics

Everything that you know is as wrong as the next

Challenges the accuracy of conventional knowledge, suggesting it's unreliable.

So you hold on to something and hope for the best

Seeking stability in uncertain situations, holding onto hope.

And you know that it's right 'til you find that it's left

The certainty of one's beliefs may change unexpectedly.

And I'm doing the same and I have to confess

Admitting to personal uncertainty and confusion.


That I know nothing

Emphasizing a lack of knowledge and understanding.

I never knew that there'd be nothing and no one to show you the way

Expressing surprise at the absence of guidance or mentors.

I know nothing

Reiterating a theme of ignorance and lack of insight.

When all I do is make it through to the end of the day

Struggling to navigate life, focusing on survival.


All my senses are pushing the whole other way

Senses conflicting with each other, feeling disoriented.

I can't see where to look now what's that that you say?

Uncertainty about where to direct attention, seeking clarification.

It's a beautiful world it's a beautiful day

Acknowledging the beauty in the world despite personal confusion.

And I wish I could say if I was feeling the same

Expressing difficulty in articulating emotions.


When I know nothing

Repeating the theme of acknowledging personal ignorance.

I never knew that there'd be nothing and no one to show you the way

Reiterating the absence of guidance or role models.

I know nothing

Continuing to emphasize a lack of knowledge and understanding.

I need an Obi-wan to tell me if I've gone astray

Desiring a mentor figure (Obi-wan) to provide guidance.


And I wish it was clearer to see

Expressing a wish for clarity in understanding oneself and others.

If you are what you're made out to be

Questioning the authenticity of self-perception and identity.

But there's no guarantee if you're you and I'm me

Highlighting the absence of guarantees in understanding oneself and others.

And there never will be, 'til I can see what you see

Expressing a desire to see the world from another's perspective.


When I know nothing

Reaffirming personal ignorance and lack of guidance.

I never knew that there'd be nothing and no one to show you the way

Continuing to express surprise at the absence of mentors or guidance.

I know nothing

Repeating the theme of ignorance and lack of insight.

When all I do is make it through to the end of the day

Focusing on the struggle to make it through each day.


I know nothing

Reiterating personal ignorance and lack of guidance.

I never knew that there'd be nothing and no one to show you the way

Emphasizing the absence of mentors or role models.

I know nothing

Continuing to stress personal ignorance and lack of understanding.

When all I do is make it through to the end of the day

Repeating the theme of the struggle to make it through each day.


When I know nothing

Reaffirming a state of personal ignorance and lack of knowledge.

I never knew that there'd be

Reiterating surprise at the absence of guidance or mentors.

Know nothing

Summarizing the overall theme of not knowing or understanding.

I never knew that there'd be

Concluding with the repetition of not knowing or understanding.
