Nobody Knows
Darin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm lost in the streets in the city of pain
I learned how to cry, how to go insane
Your love, because of your love
The gypsy woman in the corner knows my name
But still she couldn't say when you're back again
Your love, because of your love
Pre-chorus
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Chorus
Can you feel my heart
I can feel your speed
Faster every second
Dancing to the beat
What's love, nobody knows
Verse
Trapped in the fire just to see in your eyes
Swallowing my pride struggling to stay alive
Your love, because of your love
Pre-chorus
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Chorus
Can you feel my heart
I can feel your speed
Faster every second
Dancing to the beat
What's love, tell me what's love
(Nobody knows)
Can you feel my heart
I can feel your speed (nobody knows)
Faster every second
Dancing to the beat (nobody knows)
What's love, nobody knows
Break
What is love
Do we know, do we know
What is love
Do we know, do we know
Chorus
Can you feel my heart
I can feel your speed
Faster every second
Dancing to the beat
What's love, tell me what's love
(Nobody knows)
Can you feel my heart
I can feel your speed (nobody knows)
Faster every second
Dancing to the beat (nobody knows)
What's love, nobody knows
The lyrics of Darin's song Nobody Knows paint a picture of a person who is lost and struggling in the city of pain. The verses convey the singer's desperate search for love and how it has driven him to the brink of madness. He mentions a gypsy woman who knows his name but cannot tell him when the person he loves will return. The pre-chorus "Nobody knows" is a haunting refrain that emphasizes the theme of uncertainty and frustration. The chorus is an expression of the singer's heart, his yearning for love, and the rush of emotions he feels when he is with the person he loves. He wonders what love is and whether anyone truly knows its meaning.
The second verse seems to delve deeper into the singer's emotions as he talks about being trapped in the fire just to see the person he loves. He is willing to do anything, even swallowing his pride, to stay alive for a chance at love. The second chorus is similar to the first, but this time, he asks the question, "Tell me what's love" as if he is seeking answers. The break shifts the focus to the theme of love. Here, the singer asks the question, "What is love? Do we know?" It is not clear whether this is a rhetorical question or if he expects an answer.
