Know It All
Allister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You think that you deserve the best,
But I've got news for you
Your bullshit smile can't pass this test
'Cause there's somethin that I've wanted to say
I've wanted to say to you, woah
I've been waiting to say to you, woah
For so long
This time I'm ready
I'm ready for somethin new
This time I'm ready
I'm ready for somethin new
Now I get sick of listening to your whining
'Cause you may have found success,
But your still living life out lie
Now I can't wait fot the day that you will burn out
And fade away, woah
You'll burn out and fade away from the world (woah)
This time I'm ready
I'm ready for somethin new
This time I'm ready
I'm ready for somethin new
Why can't I understand your superficial views (woah),
But I can understand I can't take much more of you?
Fuck you, I'm ready
I'm ready for somethin new
Fuck you, I'm ready
I'm ready for somethin new
The lyrics of Allister's "Know It All" depict the sentiments of an individual who has had enough of a know-it-all who believes they deserve the best of everything. The singer calls out this individual's "bullshit smile," suggesting that it is simply a facade that cannot fool them. The singer admits to wanting to say something to this person for a long time, indicating that the know-it-all's behavior has been an ongoing problem for them.
The chorus of the song, which states "This time I'm ready, I'm ready for somethin new," is a powerful declaration that signifies the singer's readiness to move on from this individual's negativity and focus on their own personal growth. The last verse of the song shows frustration with the superficial views of the know-it-all and the inability to understand their perspective. The final lines of the song show a definitive attitude towards the person - "Fuck you, I'm ready for somethin new" - and a refusal to continue engaging with them.
Line by Line Meaning
Well you think you know it all
You have an overinflated sense of knowledge and intelligence
You think that you deserve the best,
You have an undeserved sense of entitlement
But I've got news for you
I have something to tell you
Your bullshit smile can't pass this test
Your insincere demeanor is not fooling me
'Cause there's somethin that I've wanted to say
I have been holding onto something I need to express
I've been waiting to say to you, woah
I have been patiently waiting for my chance to speak
For so long
This has been building up for a while
Now I'm ready
I am finally prepared
I'm ready for somethin new
I am ready for change
Now I get sick of listening to your whining
Your complaints are tiresome and irritating
'Cause you may have found success,
Although you may have achieved some accomplishments
But your still living life out lie
You are living a lie and pretending to be someone you're not
Now I can't wait for the day that you will burn out
I am eagerly anticipating your failure and downfall
And fade away, woah
Your eventual disappearance is satisfying to me
Why can't I understand your superficial views (woah),
I cannot comprehend your shallow perspective on life
But I can understand I can't take much more of you?
However, I realize that I cannot tolerate you any longer
Fuck you, I'm ready
Expletively expressing my readiness for change
I'm ready for somethin new
I am prepared for something different
