How Do I Know
Andrew Rayel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's cold outside While I’m waiting for you
It's been a while Im hanging for you
I can’t see through
All the pain
And then you appear

And it all melts away
And it all melts away
And it all melts away

How do I know
How do I know

That this time it’s real

How do I know
How do I know

That it’s real

How do I know
How do I know

That this time it’s real

How do I know
How do I know

That it is real
That it is real

How do I know
How do I know
How do I know





That it is real

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Andrew Rayel's song How Do I Know seem to revolve around the idea of longing and uncertainty. The singer sets the scene, describing a cold and lonely exterior that he's currently experiencing, while he waits for the person he is longing for. In spite of the pain he is currently feeling, there is a glimmer of hope the moment the person he is waiting for appears, and "it all melts away". The chorus contains a series of questions about how he can tell if the relationship is genuine and if this time it's real. It seems like the singer is experiencing a mixture of anticipation, doubt, and hope as he experiences this relationship.


The lyrics, while short and succinct, create a vivid picture of the singer's state of mind. The waiting and longing he feels is tangible through the use of phrases like "It's been a while I’m hanging for you" and "I can’t see through all the pain". These lyrics highlight the depth of the singer's emotions and how he struggles to navigate them. The chorus, however, provides a poignant contrast to his initial feelings. Instead of being lost in uncertainty, the chorus focuses on a burning question of whether this relationship is real or not. The question leaves the listener with a sense of unresolved tension echoing the singer's uncertain state of mind.

This track still slaps almost 10 years later! Rayel's best by a longshot.

@VoidiRecords

i can`t understand why tracks like that have less than 400 000 views >.< There are so many bad tracks on Spinnin where is no melody and i always push myself to listen to them cause i don`t like it . You Armada should make something for Promote your Tracks because it`s very pity , tracks like this must have more than 10 million views at least :/
