Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know me now
And you'll never see me smile
Cause my heart will always shut down
And my light will never shine
You know me
You know me now
And you'll never see me smile
And my light will never shine
I tried to break away
You wanted me to stay
And oh what a big mistake
And when you thought I'm ok
I was about to break
You had nothing to say
Needless to say I was needed to be saved
I was weakened from the day
We met and felt that we needed the help
That the love was goin' the give
Only time could tell
And I don't have much to spend
Cause I might just die at the end
But I won't give nothin yet
You know me
You know me now
And you'll never see me smile
Cause my heart will always shut down
And my light will never shine
You know me
You know me now
And you'll never see me smile
Cause my heart will always shut down
And my light will never shine
After all I took the fall
Packed my things and left, headin' my way
You waited long for me to call
But nothin' came, I was set in my ways
Needless to say I was needed to be saved
I was weakened from the day
We met and felt that we needed the help
That the love was goin' the give
Only time could tell
And I don't have much to spend
Cause I might just die at the end
But I won't give nothin yet
You know me
You know me now
And you'll never see me smile
Cause my heart will always shut down
And my light will never shine
You know me
You know me now
And you'll never see me smile
Cause my heart will always shut down
And my light will never shine
The lyrics in Ghosttown Ft. Badness & Dajl's song "You Know" convey a sense of emptiness and hopelessness in a relationship that has gone sour. The singer seems resigned to the fact that their heart will always shut down, and their light will never shine, suggesting a deep-seated sense of pain and loss. The refrain "you know me, you know me now," suggests that the other person in the relationship understands the singer's pain, but is unable (or unwilling) to help. The lines "I tried to break away, you wanted me to stay, and oh what a big mistake," suggest that the singer has been struggling to leave the relationship, but has been unable to do so because of the other person's desires.
As the song continues, we learn that the singer has finally packed their bags and left, but has not looked back. The lines "after all, I took the fall, packed my things and left, heading my way" suggest that the singer has made a difficult decision to move on, even though it was painful. Again, we hear the refrain "you know me, you know me now," which reinforces the idea that the other person understood the singer's pain, but was unable to help.
Overall, the lyrics in "You Know" express a deep sense of confusion and pain in a relationship that has gone wrong. The singer seems to be struggling with a sense of hopelessness, as if they have tried everything to fix the relationship, but to no avail.

You know me
You are familiar with who I am
You know me now
You have developed an understanding of my character and personality
And you'll never see me smile
I am incapable of finding happiness or joy
Cause my heart will always shut down
My emotions are blocked off and guarded
And my light will never shine
I am unable to show my true self to others
I tried to break away
I attempted to distance myself from you
You wanted me to stay
You wanted me to remain close to you
And oh what a big mistake
Looking back, it was a poor decision
And when you thought I'm ok
Despite your assumptions, I was not okay
I was about to break
I was near my breaking point emotionally
You had nothing to say
You were unable to comfort or console me
Needless to say I was needed to be saved
I required help and support to overcome my struggles
I was weakened from the day
My emotional state has been fragile since we first met
We met and felt that we needed the help
From the start, we recognized that we both required assistance
That the love was goin' the give
We hoped that our affection for each other could be enough to get through our hardships
Only time could tell
Time is needed to determine the success of our relationship
And I don't have much to spend
I possess little emotional energy or strength
Cause I might just die at the end
My struggles could lead to my ultimate demise
But I won't give nothin yet
Despite my difficulties, I will continue to persevere
