You Don't Know Me
Elizabeth Gillies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you don't know me
You think you own me
But you can't control me
You look at me and there's just one thing that you see
So listen to me
Listen to me
You push me back
I push you back
Harder, harder
You scream at me
I scream at you
Louder, L-L-L-L-Louder
I'm dangerous, I'm warning you
But you're not afraid of me
And I can't convince you
You don't know me
You think you got me
But you don't get me
You think you want me
But you don't know what you're getting into
There's so much more to me then what you think you see
So listen to me
Just listen to me
You push me back
I push you back
Harder, harder
You scream at me
I scream at you
Louder, L-L-L-L-Louder
I'm dangerous, I'm warning you
But you're not afraid of me
And I can't convince you
You don't know me
And the longer that you stay, the ice is melting
And the pain feels okay, it feels okay (heyyy)
You push me back
I push you back
You scream at me
I scream at you
Louder, louder, louder, louder
Louder, louder, louder, louder
Louder
You push me back
I push you back
Harder, harder
You scream at me
I scream at you
Louder, L-L-L-L-Louder
I'm dangerous, I'm warning you
But you're not afraid of me
And I can't convince you
And I don't have to
I think you know me
The Elizabeth Gillies' song "You Don't Know Me" is an intense and powerful statement of defiance and individuality, as the lyrics describe a situation where the singer is being misunderstood and underestimated in a relationship, and is determined to stand up for herself and assert her true identity. The song starts with the singer addressing her partner or someone who thinks they have her figured out, stating that they don’t truly know her or have the power to control her. This leads to a heated exchange between the two where emotions are conveyed in the form of screams, as both try to assert their dominance over the other. The chorus emphasizes the singer's warning that she is dangerous, but the other person is not afraid of her, which creates a sense of tension within the relationship.
