Dr. Know Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Staring at the rain and thinking how it might have been
Wondering how so many things I did could be so wrong
Well, maybe I could use that in a song
Memories have a way of coming back when I'm alone
They stir the soul within me like the crying of the wind
I try to push them far away where memories belong
The one thing that disturbs me even more than losing you
Is I still feel the same as when you left so long ago
If time's the great physician, why does he take so long
Well, maybe I could use that in a song
These songs have been my only friend and many lonely times
They've shared my deepest secrets and help me pass the night
But one day I won't need them, I hope to be that strong
Maybe I could use that in a song
Well, maybe I could use that in a song
The song "In That House" by Dr. Know is a reflective piece that deals with themes of loss, regret, and the power of music to heal. The lyrics speak to the singer's sense of loneliness and isolation as he sits alone, watching the rain and contemplating the mistakes he has made. At the same time, the lyrics suggest that the singer finds solace and meaning in the act of writing songs. The line "maybe I could use that in a song" is repeated throughout the song and serves as a kind of mantra for the singer, a reminder of the creative power that is always available to him.
The first verse of the song sets the stage for the themes that will be explored throughout. The singer is sitting alone, looking out at the rain, and reflecting on the choices he has made in life. He is haunted by memories of past relationships and the ways in which he has hurt others. Despite this pain and regret, he sees the potential to turn these experiences into something meaningful through his music. The second verse expands on this idea, as the singer reflects on the power of memories to stir the soul and bring back feelings of pain and loss. Despite wanting to push these memories away, the singer recognizes that they are a vital source of inspiration for his work.
The third verse of the song offers a more hopeful perspective, as the singer looks to the future and considers the possibility of moving beyond his pain. He acknowledges that time can be a slow and difficult healer, but he also sees the potential for growth and change. Throughout the song, the repetition of the line "maybe I could use that in a song" reinforces the idea that music has the power to transform even the most painful experiences into something beautiful and meaningful.

How many times have I sat here in this chair
Reflecting on my mistakes, I have spent countless hours in this spot
