7) 1970s TX Progressive Rock band:
In 1969 while still in high school, brothers Rick and Mike HUEY ~ bass and drums respectively ~ got together with their buddy guitarist/singer Spencer CLARK to form EVOLEPOH, a not-yet-progressive garage band based in Houston, Texas. Later they would be joined by keyboardist Craig GYSLER in '70 and change their name to LORIEN. Rehearsing intensely and writing original compositions, they played in and around Houston and landed gigs supporting Captain Beefheart, the Amboy Dukes, and MC5.

In 1975 the well-practiced unit, now CHAMELEON, shared bills with other Texas groups as Eeze, One Hand Clapping, and Oz Knozz whose drummer Marty NAUL would replace Mike Huey in '78. At that point CHAMELEON became fully committed to being prog rock artists and recorded the music found on the 'Rising' release, known as the Barn Tapes because of the converted barn outside Houston in which they rehearsed.

By 1981 the band had exhausted itself and Prog was in recession. Texas's Shroom Records released the restored material in 2013 as 'Rising', a magpie of Brit-styled art/symph, fusion, and heavier rock-outs, revealing a long undiscovered Texas prog band that held much promise.

You Know
Chameleon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So you meant to say this was purely by chance
As if there's no way this could've been planned

Do you not know me by now?

I'm paving ways for me to take
That will set me off in another direction from this place

Do you not know me by now?

Overall Meaning

In Chameleon's song "You Know," the singer addresses somebody who claims that their current situation happened by chance and that there was no way it could have been planned. The singer then questions whether the person truly knows them, indicating that they have been actively making choices to pave the way for themselves to move in a different direction from their current situation. The lyrics suggest that the singer is in control of their own destiny, and that they believe their choices and actions have determined their present circumstances.

The chorus, "Do you not know me by now?" reinforces this idea, asking whether the person truly knows the singer's character and determination. The lyrics may also suggest a frustration with the other person's lack of faith or understanding, suggesting that the singer has been working towards this goal for some time and that the other person may not fully appreciate the effort involved.

Overall, "You Know" suggests a sense of self-empowerment and personal responsibility. The lyrics speak to the idea that we are in control of our own lives, and that the choices we make determine our future. At the same time, the song also suggests the importance of having people in our lives who know and understand us, who can support and encourage us to achieve our goals.

Line by Line Meaning

So you meant to say this was purely by chance
You're trying to make it seem like this was all just a lucky coincidence

As if there's no way this could've been planned
And that it couldn't have been intentionally orchestrated by someone, despite any evidence to the contrary

Do you not know me by now?
But don't you realize that I'm not so easily fooled or misled?

I'm paving ways for me to take
I'm actively creating opportunities and making decisions that will benefit me in the future

That will set me off in another direction from this place
In order to move on to bigger and better things, I need to leave where I am now and explore new avenues

Do you not know me by now?
Seriously, why are you still doubting me and my abilities when I've proven myself time and time again?
