You Don't
Dead and Bloated Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need to feel you out
I need to size you up and strip you down
I don't know the way
So I'll explore
All of the reasons to make you do it again and again and again
You don't get it, no you don't get it
You don't get it, no you won't get it from me
All I have, but won't break
I need it now, I'll run away
From this place
I can't take
Your
Pain
That look on your face
As I go down
We're pressed so tight as your guilt starts to sound
I don't know the way
So I'll explore
All of the reasons to make you do it again and again and again
You don't get it, no you don't get it
You don't get it, no you won't get it from me
You take awayyyyyyyy
All I have, but won't break
I need it now, I'll run away
From this place
I can't take
Your
Pain
You don't get it, no you don't get it
You don't get it, no you won't get it from me
You don't get it, no you don't get it
You don't get it, no you won't get it from me
You don't get it, no you don't get it
You don't get it, no you won't get it from me
You don't get it, no you don't get it
You don't get it, no you won't get it from me
The lyrics to "You Don't" by Dead and Bloated seem to describe a sexual encounter in which the singer is exploring, testing, and trying to understand their partner's desires and motives. The repeated phrase "You don't get it, no you don't get it / You don't get it, no you won't get it from me" suggests a frustration with the partner's inability to fully comprehend or engage in the experience. The line "You take away all I have but won't break" could imply a sense of vulnerability and loss on the part of the singer, but a determination to continue the encounter nevertheless.
The lyrics also contain elements of guilt, with the partner's "guilt starting to sound" as they become physically intimate. The singer seems to use the exploration of the encounter as a way to justify or work through their own feelings of guilt or uncertainty. The repetition of the phrase "again and again and again" suggests both a desire for repetition and an obsessive or addictive quality to the encounter.
Overall, the lyrics to "You Don't" paint a complex and somewhat ambiguous picture of a sexual encounter that is both intimate and detached, pleasurable and painful, and driven by both curiosity and frustration.

@Keegan Drums. Many years ago I met Mikes ex-girlfriend. She came over to my apt. and i made her a cassette of the D&B and Debris Stream stuff i had, and sold her a VHS of the Bad Religion riot in North Hollywood. (they interviewed Mike and she was standing there with him)
