Know
Drop/Dead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's only sometimes I feel this alone.
It's not the worst times that scare me the most.
Living a dream is running away from conscience
Just seconds away.
It's a long fall from the top.
You just come home inside your soul.
I hope you never learn, you probably never will.
Send me away, I'm sending you away.
I shot him, he's not coming back.
When a memory touches down,
It can and will be the end of all your troubles.
I drink until I can't get drunk
I've done drugs so I can love.
I want to fall asleep next to you.
You said this wasn't permanent, well it is.
Death is the only thing in your way.
No one's gonna tell you how to live your life.
So live for yourself!
Hell is a cold dark place.
This will end in tears I know it.
The snow on the leaves and the ice on the pavement.
Break
Break.
Break.
Hell is a cold dark place.
This was not in the script:
Not all the flashing lights and the sirens.
Break.
Break.
Break.
I was still, not aware of the coma.
In the hospital grave, don't stop waiting.




I'm still breathing.
I was still, not awake from the coma.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Drop/Dead's song "Know" seem to touch on themes of loneliness, addiction, and the struggle to find meaning in life. The opening line, "It's only sometimes I feel this alone," suggests that the singer is not always lonely, but when they do feel alone, it's particularly intense. The next line, "It's not the worst times that scare me the most," suggests that the singer is aware that things could be worse, but there is something particularly frightening about their current situation.


The following lines about living a dream and running away from conscience suggest that the singer may be struggling with their own choices and the consequences of those choices. The line, "I drink until I can't get drunk, I've done drugs so I can love," suggests that the singer may be using substance abuse as a way to cope with their problems. The line, "Death is the only thing in your way," suggests that the singer may be contemplating suicide as a way to escape their pain.


However, the song ends on a more hopeful note, with the singer declaring, "I'm still breathing." While it's not clear whether the singer has found a way to overcome their problems, the fact that they are still alive suggests that they are at least continuing to fight.
