In the song "Know Better" by Daniel Mouyal, the artist reflects on his past mistakes and acknowledges that he is not perfect. Despite his imperfections, he expresses a desire to improve himself and find his purpose in life. This sense of self-awareness and growth is evident in the lyrics as he mentions being in a better place and striving to be a better person.

This realization of surrounding himself with the wrong people in the past and not caring about the consequences reflects his newfound wisdom and understanding that he can do better.
The middle section of the song delves into a more chaotic and reckless lifestyle, with references to drinking, smoking, driving recklessly, and the carefree attitude that can lead to dangerous situations. The artist reflects on these behaviors as he tries to distance himself from distractions like his cellphone and focus on the present moment with someone special. The repetition of "on and on it goes" suggests a cycle of questionable choices and experiences that he is trying to break free from.
As the song progresses, there is a shift towards self-reflection and a realization of the need to slow down and appreciate the journey. The artist acknowledges the mistakes he has made in the past but reiterates his determination to improve and make things right. The overall message of the song seems to be about growth, self-discovery, and learning from past experiences to become a better version of oneself. The repeated refrain of "Young and just living life" reinforces the idea of navigating through life's challenges and uncertainties while striving to make positive changes.
