You Know
Enertia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time and time again, feel I've been told
Just a little pain is good for the soul
Well, I'm standing in the fire
All my will desire
Caught between two middles
And still alone
Throughout all the changes
Moves and rearranges
Lost my mind in stages
And still alone
Lot that you know
Lot that you know
Never thinking, only drinking in the sorrow
No tomorrow, its your end
I don't know
I don't know
But you know
So in I go never thinking its your end
I can't contain all this fire
I can't control this desire
But you know
Lot that you know
You fall, I crawl and never die
So long, say one last good-bye
Say one last good-bye
Say one last good-bye
I'll be you...
But you know
But you know




But you know
Lot that you know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Enertia's song You Know appear to address the idea of self-destruction and the struggle to find a way out of damaging cycles. The opening lines suggest that the singer has been told that pain is good for the soul, implying a belief that suffering is necessary or perhaps even desirable for personal growth. However, the subsequent lines reveal that the singer is caught between opposing forces and still feels alone. This seems to suggest that despite the external changes and internal turmoil that the singer is experiencing, they are still struggling to find a sense of connection or community. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Lot that you know," seeming to emphasize the singer's sense of being misunderstood or underestimated by others.


As the song progresses, the lyrics become increasingly chaotic, suggesting a loss of control on the part of the singer. The lines "Never thinking, only drinking in the sorrow / No tomorrow, it's your end" emphasize a sense of hopelessness and despair. However, the repeated phrase "But you know" implies that there is still someone or something that understands the singer's experience, even if it is not immediately apparent.


Overall, You Know seems to grapple with the idea of trying to change oneself while feeling trapped in destructive patterns. The repeated refrain "Lot that you know" suggests a sense of frustration with others who may not understand the singer's struggle, while also hinting at the possibility that there is more to the singer's experience than meets the eye.

Lyrics

[Verse 1: 3D]
Recollect me darling, raise me to your lips
Two undernourished egos, four rotating hips
Hold on to me tightly, I'm a sliding scale
Can't endure, then you can't inhale clearly
Out of body experience interferes
And dreams of flying, I fit nearly
Surrounds me, though I get lonely slowly

[Chorus: 3D]
Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
She's moving up slowly, slowly
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly

[Verse 2: 3D]
In my home no chrome as clear as
See me now with my nearest, dearest
Been there when I'm over careering
Room shifting is endearing
Between us is our kitchen
Which you found my irritant's itching
Been here before, been here forever

[Chorus: 3D]
Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
She comes

[Verse 3: 3D]
I make no sound in my eider-down
Awake I lie in the morning's blue
Room is still, my antenna in you
Nylon burns the bedspread with two
Gravity's zero, see me stall
I bounce off walls, lose my footing, and fall
Can be sweet though incomplete though
And the frames will freeze, see me on all fours
It's been a long time

[Interlude: 3D]
She comes
She comes
I want to x you
She comes
I want to x you
She comes
X

[Outro: 3D]
I caught your radio waves
I caught your radio waves
With a tin can and string
Say you string me along
Say you string me along
Say inertia creeps
Inertia creeps and she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes

This whole album embodies anxiety, claustrofobia, withdrawal and insomnia... and I like it.
