You Don't Know
Dopamine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got this thing stuck into my head I don't expect you to understand
You walk away just like before or did you forget?
Your broken wings won't help you to fly because you're no angel

Seems as though I can't erase what you have done,
Can't pretend

Say what you wanted to
Give your words some meaning
Walk away if you dare, I've got a thing for revenge

Time and again left me on my own, completely wasted
Leave me here, waiting here, I will be fine on my own

Say what you wanted to




Give your words some meaning
Walk away if you dare, I've got a thing for revenge

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dopamine's song, You Don't Know, describe a person who has been hurt by someone they trusted, and they can't seem to forget about it. The phrase, "I've got this thing stuck into my head," suggests that the experience is still very much on their mind. The person they trusted has walked away from them before, and they wonder if they have forgotten what they did to hurt them. The line, "Your broken wings won't help you to fly because you're no angel," reflects the realization that the person who hurt them is not perfect, but flawed like everyone else.


The chorus in the song, "Say what you wanted to. Give your words some meaning. Walk away if you dare, I've got a thing for revenge," shows how the person has been hurt by the other person, and they want to get revenge. They want to make them feel the pain they have felt by making them hurt too in some way. The song is about standing up for oneself and not allowing others to hurt them.

I have to balance my low Serotonin, high & low Dopamine due to indulgence in high dopamine releasing addiction.
Thankyou Science & this channel for detailed information

@Presto Media LLC Depends on what you consider natural. If someone is physically addicted and not producing a chemical then what? In some cases the brain never recovers & produces the right amount of dopamine. This is why its best to walk a mile in someone's shoes or experience a condition before coming to a conclusion. Also what's more natural than a creator?

This is informative but natural healing is a much better way to solve then drugs and God, meditation, fasting still with medical guidance aka testings
