U Don't Know
Alison Wonderland feat. Wayne Coyne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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.
