Nobody Knows
A-N-T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I pretend that I'm glad you went away
But these four walls close in more every day
And I'm dying inside and nobody knows it but me
Like a clown I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
And I'm crying inside and nobody knows it but me
Why didn't I say the things I needed to say
How could I let my angel get away
Now my world is just a-tumblin' down
I can say it so clearly but you're nowhere around
The night are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had
And I'm missing you and nobody knows it but me
How blue can I get, you could ask my heart
Just like a jigsaw puzzle it's been torn all apart
A million words couldn't say just how I feel
A million years from now, you know, I'll be loving you still
The night are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had
And I'm missing you and nobody knows it but me
The night are lonely, the days are so sad




And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had
And I'm missing you and nobody knows it but me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to A-N-T's song "Nobody Knows" tell the story of a person struggling with the emotions of a breakup. The singer puts on a brave face in public, pretending that they are happy their former partner left. However, each day the pain becomes more and more unbearable, and they feel like they are dying inside. The singer compares themselves to a clown putting on a show, highlighting the idea that they are using this façade to hide their true feelings from others. The pain they feel is real, even if the world around them doesn't know it. The singer regrets not saying the things they needed to say to their former partner and wonders how they let their "angel" slip away. Each day seems to get sadder and lonelier, and they miss their partner more than anyone else knows. The singer feels like their heart has been torn apart like a jigsaw puzzle and that there aren't enough words in the world to express their emotions. They end the song by admitting they are missing their former partner and that nobody knows it but them.


The lyrics to "Nobody Knows" are relatable to anyone who has gone through the pain of a breakup. The singer's vulnerability is palpable, and their honesty is painful. The use of the clown metaphor is an interesting way to convey the idea of hiding one's true emotions. The singer's longing for their former partner is heart-wrenching, and their words convey a sense of hopelessness. The sense of loss, regret, and loneliness are powerful, and the song's overall message is that sometimes the things we keep hidden inside are the things that hurt us the most.


Line by Line Meaning

I pretend that I'm glad you went away
Even though I'm acting like I'm okay with your leaving, I'm really not


But these four walls close in more every day
Being alone in the same place every day feels like the walls are closing in on me


And I'm dying inside and nobody knows it but me
I feel like I'm slowly fading away on the inside, but no one can see it except me


Like a clown I put on a show
I try to act happy and make others laugh, but it's only a mask to hide my true emotions


The pain is real even if nobody knows
Even though I pretend to be fine, the pain of losing you is very real for me


And I'm crying inside and nobody knows it but me
I'm silently weeping within myself because of how much I miss you, but no one else can see it


Why didn't I say the things I needed to say
I regret not expressing my love and feelings for you when I had the chance


How could I let my angel get away
I feel like I lost the love of my life and it hurts so much


Now my world is just a-tumblin' down
My life feels like it's falling apart without you by my side


I can say it so clearly but you're nowhere around
I want to tell you how much I still love you, but you're not here to hear it


The night are lonely, the days are so sad
Every moment without you feels so empty and depressing


And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had
My mind is constantly filled with memories of our relationship and the love we shared


And I'm missing you and nobody knows it but me
I feel the pain of missing you every day, but no one else can understand just how much


How blue can I get, you could ask my heart
The level of sadness I feel is beyond words, and only my heart can truly know


Just like a jigsaw puzzle it's been torn all apart
My heart feels broken and shattered, like a puzzle that's been torn apart


A million words couldn't say just how I feel
No matter how much I try to articulate my feelings, I know that words will never be enough


A million years from now, you know, I'll be loving you still
My love for you is timeless and eternal, and it will never fade away even if a million years go by

Familysong の時からだけど
源さんはずっと色々な愛の形に目を向けていて
LGBTQに偏見がなくてもどう言葉にしていいかわからない気持ちを
素敵な歌詞として昇華してくれてすごく感動する。
でも源さんはそれを言葉にあまりしないところがまた素敵で
LGBTQに偏見はありません!とかいうことは言わないのが
そもそもその発言をする時点で自分は偏見を持っていないと思っているのが
ある種の偏見である気がする私は
源さんの姿勢にすごく心を打たれ尊敬しています。
この人を好きになれて良かった。日々そう思います。
たくさんの人にこの魅力が伝わりますように。

Baby 瞳の中 雨で濡れてた
とっくの昔出会った
ような気がした

暗闇 温かな肌
言葉の裏の想いが
心の首筋舐めた
その後で

Ain't nobody know
Ain't nobody watching us
僕らのキスは
いつまでも いつまででも
続くだろう

Ain't nobody know
Ain't nobody watching us
さよならさえも
いつまでも いつまででも
奪えないさ

Beats me 頭の中 怒りで満ちた
夜が壊れるほど
二人踊った

卑劣が肩を叩けば
笑顔が唾の代わりさ
誰も来られない場所に
僕ら居る

Ain't nobody know
Ain't nobody watching us
僕らのキスは
いつまでも いつまででも
続くだろう

Ain't nobody know
Ain't nobody watching us
さよならさえも
いつまでも いつまででも
奪えない

Ain't nobody know
Ain't nobody watching us
僕らのキスは
いつまでも いつまででも
続くだろう

Ain't nobody know
Ain't nobody watching us
さよならさえも
いつまでも いつまででも
奪えないさ

@user-us5vx6fz4f

今まで何回も聞いていた曲だけど
リリースから2年経った今になって突然この曲が胸に刺さってじんわりと体内に染み込んできた…
今の自分の境遇や今までの経験が、今になってこの曲と重なり合ったんだと思う

[Ain’t nobody know,ain't nobody watching us]
[誰も知らない、誰も私たちを見ていない]
彼がこの曲に込めた意味とは違うだろうけど
今の私の状況がこのフレーズと重なり合って
何度も頭の中でリフレインしている

星野源がいつかの紅白で言ってた、「紅組も白組も関係なく」の言葉、嘘じゃなかったんだなぁってしみじみ感じてる。こうこうところ、本当に好きです。最高の作品をありがとう。

@user-fu8mg8ul8d

ちゃむ. それはあんま関係ないと思うけどw

@hitomis.7863

分かります。源さんの、男女という枠組みだけでないいろんな愛の形を第一線で表現してくれるところ、私大好きです。

@yello.w816

Family Songでの多様な愛、おげんさんの男女の役組、紅白のピンクダウン、そして今回のMVと、源さんなりにすごく体現されてますよね☺︎

@Connor-od5cw

すごい共感……ぐっと500いただきます

@hama7500

この歌は同性愛も肯定していいじゃないかっていうメッセージで、紅白の発言はただ赤白関係なく音楽を楽しもうぜっていうことだと思います。

母国語でこんな気持ちいい音が聞けるなんて。
しあわせだ…

@shimizukebin

これは俺の母国ではなくても、俺も幸せだ。いい曲からね!😁

この曲……もっと注目されていいと思うくらい好きだが……
