No Idea
Brantwood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you've been lying straight to your head
But I know you don′t mean it
But I know you don't mean it
I'm tired of popping these pills
And I keep sleeping up until noon
When you want me sleeping with you
When you want me sleeping with you
Running around seems like we′re going nowhere
And I′m sure you're stuck
But I can′t go on
You'll be working 40 hours a week
I′ll be waiting but you're ready to leave
And you have no idea
And you have no idea
And you have no idea
In Brantwood's song "No Idea", the lyrics depict a situation where the singer has been lied to by their partner. The singer is lying on the edge of the bed, possibly feeling defeated, while their partner is lying to themselves about what they have done. The singer, however, knows that their partner does not mean what they have said. The singer is tired of taking pills and sleeping until midday, but their partner wants them to sleep with them. Despite running around, the relationship seems to be going nowhere and the singer believes that their partner is stuck. The partner is working 40 hours a week, while the singer waits for them to come home, with the realization that their partner is ready to leave even though they have no idea about the singer's feelings.
The lyrics reveal the complicated nature of a relationship where one partner is struggling with their mental health, while the other is constrained by their working hours. The singer feels like they are stuck in a rut and no progress is being made. The partner, on the other hand, seems to be oblivious to the singer's emotions and is ready to leave, showing a lack of understanding in the relationship. The song may touch on themes of depression, addiction, and the difficulties of relationships.
