Knowing Me Knowing You
Abba Revival Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house
Tears in my eyes
Here is where the story ends
This is goodbye

Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
We just have to face it
This time we're through
Breaking up is never easy, I know
But I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Memories, good days, bad days
They'll be with me always
In these old familiar rooms
Children would play
Now there's only emptiness
Nothing to say

Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
We just have to face it
This time we're through
Breaking up is never easy, I know
But I have to go




Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Overall Meaning

The song "Knowing Me, Knowing You" by Abba Revival Band is a narrative of a couple going through a rocky patch, and their realization that the love they once had is no longer there. The lyrics touch upon the pain and heartbreak that comes with a breakup. The opening lines, "No more carefree laughter, Silence ever after," suggest that the laughter and happiness between the couple have dissipated, and all that's left is silence. The lines, "Tears in my eyes, Here is where the story ends, This is goodbye," indicate that the couple has reached the end of the road, and there is no turning back.


The chorus, "Knowing me, knowing you, (a-ha) There is nothing we can do, Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha) We just have to face it, This time we're through," conveys the message that sometimes in a relationship, things don't work out even if we know each other perfectly. "Breaking up is never easy, I know, But I have to go, Knowing me, knowing you, It's the best I can do," implies that the person who is leaving understands that it's going to be difficult, but there's nothing left to do but say goodbye.


Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that has run its course, and despite the love the couple once shared, it has come to an end. It's a melancholic song that many can relate to, as people have experienced heartbreak at some point or another in their lives.

Imperfect teeth, normal skin, beautiful feathered hair, realistic lyrics, natural voices, can anyone not understand why these 4 people were superstars? I love them. And always will.

@eduardothais

You have the privilege to notice all those details now but back in 1970 nothing you are describing was actually important: teeth, skin, hair. back then there was no Youtube or even a way people can replay this video.
