Nobody Knows
红粉佳人Pink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody knows but me
That I sometimes cry
If I could pretend that I'm asleep
When my tears start to fall
I peek out from behind these walls
I think nobody knows
Nobody knows, no
Nobody likes,
Nobody likes to lose their inner voice
The one I used to hear before my life
Made a choice
But I think nobody knows
No, no
Nobody knows
No
Baby
Oh, the secret's safe with me
There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be
And, baby, don't it feel like I'm all alone?
Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown
And I've lost my way back home?
I think nobody knows, no
I said nobody knows
Nobody cares
It's win or lose, not how you play the game
And the road to darkness has a way
Of always knowing my name
But I think nobody knows
No, no
Nobody knows, no, no, no, no
Baby
Oh, the secret's safe with me
There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be
And, baby, don't it feel like I'm all alone?
Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown
And I've lost my way back home?
And, oh, no, no, no, no
Nobody knows
No, no, no, no, no, no
Tomorrow I'll be there, my friend
I'll wake up and start all over again
When everybody else is gone
No, no, no
Nobody knows
Nobody knows the rhythm of my heart
The way I do when I'm lying in the dark
And the world is asleep
I think nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows but me
Me
In "Nobody Knows", Pink reveals her inner emotional struggles that she keeps hidden from the world. The song starts off with Pink talking about how she cries sometimes, but nobody knows about it except for herself. Even though she wishes she could pretend that she is asleep when the tears start to fall, she is forced to hide her emotions behind walls, and nobody knows the real her. Pink then talks about how nobody likes to lose their inner voice, which is the one she used to hear before her life made a choice. Despite being lost and feeling like nobody cares, Pink believes that her secrets are safe with her, and there is nowhere else in the world she could ever be besides with herself. She then questions who will be there after the last angel has flown and she has lost her way back home, highlighting the fact that she feels lonely and that nobody knows the real her.
The chorus repeats the phrase "nobody knows," emphasizing how nobody truly understands or cares about Pink's struggles. She talks about how the world can be a dark place, and life is not about how you play the game, but instead about whether you win or lose. Pink ends the song talking about tomorrow, when she'll wake up and start all over again, and nobody will know the rhythm of her heart or the way she feels when she's lying in the dark.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of loneliness, isolation, and the struggles of keeping one's emotions hidden from the world. It highlights the fact that despite being out in the public eye and seemingly having everything, Pink is still human and vulnerable like any other person.
Line by Line Meaning
Nobody knows
I keep my problems to myself and no one else knows about them
Nobody knows but me
Only I am aware of my innermost struggles and emotions
That I sometimes cry
I suppress my tears and rarely let anyone see my vulnerability
If I could pretend that I'm asleep
I wish I could hide my pain and suffering from the world
When my tears start to fall
When I can no longer suppress my emotions and tears start to flow
I peek out from behind these walls
I try to hide my true feelings from the world, but sometimes my true self can be seen
I think nobody knows
I believe that no one else can truly understand what I am going through
Nobody likes
No one enjoys losing their sense of self and purpose
The one I used to hear before my life
My inner voice and sense of purpose that I had before my life became complicated
Made a choice
Before I had to choose between following my dreams and fulfilling my obligations
But I think nobody knows
I feel like nobody else can truly comprehend the impact of this choice on me
No, no
Absolutely no one
Baby
Someone I am close to
Oh, the secret's safe with me
I am someone who can be trusted with secrets
There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be
I feel at home with this person and nowhere else compares to their presence
And, baby, don't it feel like I'm all alone?
Despite having this person, it still feels like I am dealing with my struggles alone
Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown
Who will support me when everything else is gone?
And I've lost my way back home?
When I am lost in life, who will help me find my way back?
And, oh, no, no, no, no
No one can answer these questions for me
It's win or lose, not how you play the game
Success or failure is all that matters, not the effort or approach taken
And the road to darkness has a way
The path to negative outcomes often seems inevitable
Of always knowing my name
I always seem to be the one facing these negative outcomes
No, no
I cannot escape this fate
And, oh, the secret's safe with me
I am a trustworthy confidant
Tomorrow I'll be there, my friend
I will always be there for those I care about
I'll wake up and start all over again
I will continue to face my struggles and try to overcome them every day
When everybody else is gone
I will remain a constant source of support even when others are not around
Nobody knows the rhythm of my heart
No one else can truly comprehend my innermost thoughts and feelings
The way I do when I'm lying in the dark
Only when I am alone in my thoughts can I truly understand myself
And the world is asleep
Only when the outside world is quiet can I truly hear my own thoughts
I think nobody knows
I believe that no one else can truly understand my struggles and pain
Nobody knows
I face my challenges alone
Nobody knows but me
I am the only one who truly understands the depth of my emotions and the struggles I face
Me
I am the only one who truly knows me

Hope you are okay…
I don’t know you… but I know how to get way too close to that darkness.
I don’t shove anything on anyone.
But a very wise old man told me late one night..
“Son you can end this… but you will never know what is on the other side of what you have struggled with so far.”
He continued and said, “What if one small step in another direction was to change your life nearly instantly.”
I said, “No one would care either way.”
He said “your wrong.”
I said, “who is this invisible person, I wasn’t even wanted as a kid.”
He said, “Those hurting just like you.”
That ended my quest to walk off the edge of existence.
So… just know I know the darkness way too well,
but that’s the best way to OWN what tries to own you.
Be safe
Chance
@friyaivy3818
Depression, loneliness, anxiety, humiliation and feeling worthless and invisible...and yet nobody knows you are in pain 😢😟
@SlipperySandle

@Bullsfan2008DR
Pink's most underrated song. Very deep and personal, Pink seems to be singing about her losing her true self as it gets swallowed by all the evils and glamour of the mainstream music industry.
@catarinafalcon7189
Bullsfan2008DR baby I loves you I fallen in love with u my love u I love
@lisaborsch8933
It's so much more than just losing yourself it's the feeling like you are alone, no one cares about you, no one loves you, and no one is listening to your voice. Then having to try to put on a fake face to hide your feelings, because of the feelings that I mentioned before.
