"'The emotional headspace of being in quarantine reminded me of a difficult time in my life a few years ago. Once I had the first two lines and the guitar part, I finished the rest of it in a couple hours. It felt so honest and vulnerable that I decided to not add too much to it after that.'"
IDK You Yet
Alexander 23 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I need you now, but I don't know you yet
But can you find me soon because I'm in my head?
Yeah, I need you now, but I don't know you yet
'Cause lately it's been hard
They're sellin' me for parts
And I don't wanna be modern art
But I only got half a heart to give to you
How can you miss someone you've never seen?
Oh, tell me, are your eyes brown, blue, or green?
And do you like it with sugar and cream?
Or do you take it straight, oh, just like me?
Yeah, lately it's been hard
They're sellin' me for parts
And I don't wanna be modern art
But I only got half a heart to give to you
And I hope it's enough
How can you miss someone you've never met?
'Cause I need you now, but I don't know you yet
But can you find me soon because I'm in my head?
Yeah, I need you now, but I don't know you yet
I need you now, but I don't know you yet
I need you now, but I don't know you yet
I need you now, but I don't know you yet
I need you now, but I don't know you yet
The song "IDK You Yet" by Alexander 23 explores the feeling of wanting someone you have never met before. The lyrics suggest that the singer is feeling lost and alone and is searching for a connection with someone they don't know yet. The first verse talks about how the singer needs someone but doesn't know who that person is. The second verse asks questions about this unknown person, their physical appearance, and how they like their coffee. These questions portray the singer's longing to know who this person is and build a connection with them.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer needs this person, but they don't know who they are yet. It's like they are searching for someone but haven't found them yet. The lines "They're sellin' me for parts, and I don't wanna be modern art" suggest that the singer is struggling and feels like they are being taken apart and sold, but they don't want to be just another object.
Overall, the song is a beautiful representation of the feeling of longing and searching for someone in a world where it can be difficult to find meaningful connections.
