U Don't Know
Alison Wonderland feat. Wayne Coyne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't know how it is
For someone else to own you
Someone else to throw you all around
You don't know how it is
For someone else to own you
Someone else to throw you all around
Don't lose; you better than yourself
Tryna tell me all these faking sounds
I see what it really is
Honest words will never fix
Give it to me, I can hold my own
I know what it's like to be alone
No need to keep me in the dark
Already been, I got that spark
You don't know how it is
For someone else to own you
Someone else to throw you all around
You don't know how it is
For someone else to own you
Someone else to throw you all around
Don't lose; you better than yourself
Tryna tell me all these faking sounds
I see what it really is
Honest words will never fix
Give it to me, I can hold my own
I know what it's like to be alone




No need to keep me in the dark
Already been, I got that spark

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alison Wonderland ft. Wayne Coyne's song "U Don't Know" deal with themes of ownership and control. The lines "You don't know how it is/For someone else to own you/Someone else to throw you all around" suggest a feeling of helplessness and subjugation. The repetition of this refrain drives home the idea that the singer feels trapped and powerless in this situation.


However, the second half of the song takes a more defiant tone, with the lines "Give it to me, I can hold my own/I know what it's like to be alone/No need to keep me in the dark/Already been, I got that spark" seemingly asserting a sense of self-reliance and confidence. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been through difficult times before and has emerged stronger as a result.


Overall, the song is an exploration of power dynamics in relationships, both negative and positive. It encourages listeners to take ownership of their own lives and not let themselves be controlled by others.

[CHORUS:]
You don’t know how it is
For someone else to own you
Someone else to throw your heart around

You need them anyway, I got it
Don’t make your own delay, you got it
Look at me standing straight, I’m on it
(Baby, I don’t know)
For me to find my way, I get it
You need them anyway, I got it
(Baby, I don’t know)

Oh-oh
[repeat]

Friends that never come will never go
Swimming through the deep and let it show
Red flag, don’t wait; I know, your fate
All the highs but it’s never enough
Where were you when I was doing tow
Leave me your phone, all that I know
What am I so? Know that I go

You don’t know how it is
For someone else to own you
Someone else to throw your heart around

You need them anyway, I got it

You don’t know how it is
For someone else to own you
Someone else to throw your heart around
