Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But she knows me, better than they do
I could never write a song for jo
See the look on her face is gonna change
And i knew she'd move on by the spring
When the look on her face began to change
She could never tell the truth
Because of what they would do
Oh annie doesn′t know me that well
But she knows me better than thеy do
The lyrics to Banes World's song "Annie" speak to a relationship where the singer's connection with Annie is deeper and more authentic than any other relationships they have. The line "Annie doesn't know me that well, but she knows me better than they do" suggests that Annie may not have a complete understanding of who the singer truly is, but her knowledge surpasses that of the other people in their life.
The lyrics also explore the singer's inability to express their feelings through a song for someone named Jo. It seems that the singer believes that the look on Jo's face would change in a negative way if they were to write a song for her. This line alludes to the idea that sometimes, love cannot be fully expressed or reciprocated due to fear of rejection or a change in the dynamics of a relationship.
Additionally, the lyrics hint at Annie's inability to be completely honest or truthful about something, likely because she is afraid of the repercussions or judgments from others. This implies that Annie may be constrained by external pressures and unable to fully be herself.
Overall, the lyrics of "Annie" capture a sense of longing for a genuine connection, an inner struggle to express one's emotions, and the complexities of navigating relationships in a world where authenticity is often suppressed.
