IDK About You
Fever Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the time is right
The time is right
The time is right
Well I don't know about you
I don't know about you
What you are about
What's hidden in there
What you've got for me there
Well I don't know about you
I don't know about you
I know the way to fantasy
The world of dreams
The place to be
Well I don't know about you
I don't know about you
Let's find out
If our spirits meet
Let's push and tweak
Let our spirits cheat
'Cause I don't know about you
No I don't know about you
You can trust me baby
The scratch right there
You can trust me baby
You can trust me baby
Well I don't know about you
I don't know about you
Anybody
Who's coming with me
Gotta love my tracks
And swing an axe
No I don't know about you
I don't know about you
Don't know don't know don't know
Don't know don't know don't know
Don't know don't know don't know don't know
Don't know don't know don't know don't know
Well I don't know about you
I don't know about you
But I don't know about you
I don't know about you

Podríamos decir que este es el sonido llegado del frío, con permiso por supuesto de Sigur Rós y Björk. Fever Ray surgió de las heladas cumbres de la nieve nórdica. Es el proyecto en solitario de Karin Dreijer Andersson, quien fuera voz, junto a su hermano Olof, de The Knife. Ocho años después de su primer disco, la sueca Fever Ray, lanza su álbum más sorprendente, una verdadera provocación que se convierte en un manifiesto político y sexual, que reivindica el placer frente a los moralismos conservadores. Atención porque es un álbum de arriesgadas propuestas sonoras, entre el pop electrónico, lo gótico e industrial, con brumas sonoras bizarras. Se mueve entre la perversión y el placer, como sus vídeos hipnóticos. Ella rompe moldes, escribiendo sus letras con renglones torcidos. Atención a piezas tan seductoras como "To the moon and back", "Mama's hand" o "Wanna sip".

imagery tows the line between horror and humor. very cool. and the song has that signature frantic quality that makes her music great.

all of you complaining about how this doesn’t sound like her original stuff really need to remember that a lot can change in eight years! are you the same person you were eight years ago? Do you want to keep doing the stuff you were doing eight years ago? please let her be herself without crying about your expectations, and appreciate her as she is 💙

Hearing, seeing and feeling this song live was an explosion I barely will ever forget. That bass kicking through my spine and this energetic rhythm was an absolute blast <3 Thank you for this great stage performance!

I can not believe that the album promotion is already ended... O.o There are a lot of absolute MASTERPIECES in the album that deserves a music video.
