I Don't Know
Head And The Hares Lyrics

The opening verse of "I Don't Know" by Head And The Hares refers to a forgotten item that is covered in dust on a shelf somewhere. The lines "Don't let 'em die, I crushed it into blue, and wrote a song for you, put it in your pocket to rest" indicate that the item was given new life through the act of creation. The "blue" could be a reference to the blues genre, indicating that the item was turned into a piece of music. The metaphorical language of the verse suggests that the person who wrote the song may have been trying to express something that was hard to put into words.

The second verse of the song tells a story about heartbreak. The lyrics "So your heart was stolen from the most beautiful girl in the world, oh the winds blew you over" suggest a tragic tale of love lost. The line "I don't mind" could be interpreted in a few different ways, such as the person not being bothered by the heartbreak, or by the fact that the heartbreak is causing the winds to blow. The repetition of the phrase "I don't mind" throughout the song could be a way of expressing acceptance or a way of convincing oneself that it's okay to move on.

The chorus of "I Don't Know" features a woman's voice counseling the singer to find healing through solitude. The repetition of the phrase "Never come back alone, time will heal your soul, it's time alone" highlights the importance of taking time for oneself while going through a difficult experience. The song ends on the lines "Just time alone, just time alone," suggesting that the only way for the singer to heal is by taking time away from others and focusing on their own journey.
