Awolnation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I pay no mind, to what they think
I count the days, you’ve been asleep
I pay no mind, to what they think
If I don’t tell a soul then, who else shouldn’t mind?
And may be gone, my love, to the grave
But I got a secret
Everybody’s got a secret something good should come from all the rain
Eww got caught in thought
Went to their heads, went to their feet
At second glance
I’m fixing a friend with friendly speech
I pay no mind, to what they think
If I don’t tell a soul then, who else shouldn’t mind?
And may be gone, my love, to the grave
But I got a secret
(Got a secret)
Everybody’s got a secret…something good should come from all the rain.
Somebody believe in me
If I don’t tell a soul then, who else shouldn’t mind?
And may be gone, my love, to the grave
But I got a secret (Got a secret)
Everybody’s got a secret
Something good should come from all the rain
In Awolnation's song Everybody, the lyrics are about having a secret that the singer is not willing to share with anyone else. The first section of the lyrics "I'll never tell, no one can see; I pay no mind, to what they think" emphasizes that the secret is to be kept hidden from the outside world. This may be because the singer is afraid of being judged or rejected by others, but regardless of the reason, they vow not to reveal their secret to anyone. The following lines "I count the days, you’ve been asleep; I pay no mind, to what they think" suggest that the singer may have been keeping this secret for a long time and still feels the need to hide it.
The chorus "But I got a secret (Got a secret); Everybody’s got a secret, something good should come from all the rain" implies that despite the difficulties and hardships that come with holding onto secrets, something good can come out of it. The rain metaphorically represents the struggles and hardships in our lives, and the idea that something good can come out of it may suggest that we can learn from our mistakes and become better people.
The second verse "Eww got caught in thought; Went to their heads, went to their feet; At second glance, I’m fixing a friend with friendly speech" demonstrates the singer's capacity for empathy and desire to help others. "I pay no mind, to what they think" here represents that the person does not care what others say or think about them, even if their intentions were being misinterpreted. The last few lines "Somebody believe in me; if I don’t tell a soul then, who else shouldn’t mind?" communicate the need for validation and support from people. The singer wants somebody to believe and trust them without having to say anything, further emphasizing their reluctance to reveal their secret.

[Verse 1]
I’ll never tell, no one can see
I pay no mind, to what they think
I count the days, you’ve been asleep

I tell you what, Aaron is a musical genius. It takes pure talent to be able to make the music pretty much by yourself, write and sing the lyrics. All while playing the instrument (guitar, drums, piano) pretty much by yourself.
Geoff Adkins
Definitely one of the greatest of all time.

+Ashley Smith I didn't knew that :o now I like him even more
Ashley Smith
He has a band that tours with him but the band doesn't make the album. On the Run album he writes, sings, plays the instruments, and makes the rest of the music pretty much by himself. His producer of course helps him but for the most part it's just Aaron.

If I ever meet him I'd say the same thing. I'd tell him everything I said on here because it's true. I'd also probably squeal like a fan girl.

His voice has so much of his soul behind it. Not to mention the octaves he reaches seemingly effortlessly. Just superb.
