No One Knows
Bjørn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I saw a boy I know
In Oslo
In downtown Oslo
He smiled, but did he know
That I am the girl he kissed
In Oslo
In downtown Oslo
When this illness ends my game
How will I know
How will I know
Will they praise my name
Or forget my brief fame
How will I know
How will I know
Bright eyes and still long hair
Not much has changed with him
Since Oslo
That time in Oslo
He turned and looked at me
But I am not the same
Since Oslo
That time in Oslo
How will they know my name
When this illness ends my game
How will I know
How will I know
Will they praise my name
Or forget my brief fame
How will I know
How will I know
Can you see me
I am still the same inside
I still feel so young
But I'm not
Will they praise my name
Or forget my brief fame
How will I know
How will I know
In Bjorn's song "No One Knows," the singer reflects on a past encounter with a boy in Oslo. She questions whether the boy remembers the kiss they shared and how she will be remembered in the future. The singer reflects on herself, realizing that although she may still feel young inside, time has passed, and things have changed. She is unsure of what the future holds and whether she will be remembered for her moments of brief fame, or if she will be forgotten.
The song explores themes of nostalgia and the passing of time. The singer's encounter with the boy in Oslo represents a moment frozen in time, and she questions how her memory of that moment will be preserved in the future. The sense of longing and uncertainty expressed in the lyrics is heightened by the haunting, ethereal quality of the music.
The lyrics suggest a fear of being forgotten and a desire for validation. The singer wonders whether her moments of brief fame will be remembered and praised or forgotten. The repetition of the phrase "how will I know" emphasizes the uncertainty and anxiety the singer feels about the future.

Not so long ago
It wasn't too far back in time
I saw a boy I know
I saw a guy I recognize
In Oslo
In the city of Oslo, Norway
In downtown Oslo
In the center of the city of Oslo
He smiled, but did he know
He grinned, but was he aware
That I am the girl he kissed
That I am the girl he previously kissed
How will they know my name
How will people recognize me
When this illness ends my game
When this disease brings an end to my life
How will I know
How can I find out
Will they praise my name
Will they speak highly of me
Or forget my brief fame
Or disregard my short moment of glory
Bright eyes and still long hair
Eyes that are vibrant and hair that is still lengthy
Not much has changed with him
There hasn't been a lot of alteration with him
Since Oslo
Since the time we were in Oslo
That time in Oslo
The time we were previously in Oslo
He turned and looked at me
He spun and glanced in my direction
But I am not the same
But I am not the identical person
Since Oslo
Since the time we were in Oslo
How will they know my name
How will people recognize me
When this illness ends my game
When this disease brings an end to my life
How will I know
How can I find out
Will they praise my name
Will they speak highly of me
Or forget my brief fame
Or disregard my short moment of glory
Can you see me
Are you able to perceive me
I am still the same inside
I'm still the same on the inside
I still feel so young
I still feel youthful
But I'm not
But I'm not truly young
Will they praise my name
Will they speak highly of me
Or forget my brief fame
Or disregard my short moment of glory
How will I know
How can I find out

Minha teoria do clipe: Inicialmente vemos a garota do clipe com um manequim, que seria uma representaçã da parte "morta" de um relacionamento, onde só uma pessoa faz de tudo pra ainda manter algo. Em certo momento, ela sai sozinha pra fazer compras, onde ela sai sozinha, e encontra um cara que a faz ter seu coração disparado, de uma forma que ela não tinha há muito tempo. O flashback onde ela dança, representa a sincronia que temos com a pessoa a qual desperta algo em nós. Depois vemos ela se distanciando dessa parte morta do relacionamento, por ter encontrado seu complemento. Depois a câmera é focada no rosto do boneco, onde nos coloca no lugar do dele, passando a mensagem de que as vezes nós estamos tão focados em outras coisas, que acabamos perdendo algumas pessoas que amamos, sejam amigos, namorados e quaisquer pessoas importantes.
