Absinthe
I Don't Know How but They Found Me Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bring to me
Your sons and daughters
'Cause Absinthe makes the heart
Grow fonder

No, I don't care what momma says
You'll wind me up
Or you'll wind up dead
I don't care what momma says

I don't believe whatever this is
Until you burn all of the witches
I won't believe whatever this is
Whatever they give you
Stop drinking it down

If I were you
Then I'd stop talking
'Cause soon you'll be a dead man walking

I don't care what momma says
You'll wind me up
Or you'll wind up dead
I don't care what momma says

I don't believe whatever this is
Until you burn all of the witches
I won't believe whatever this is
Whatever they give you
Stop drinking it down

I hear voices
I see visions
These spirits
Are your prison
I hear voices
I see visions
These spirits
Are your prison

I don't believe whatever this is
Until you burn all of the witches
I won't believe whatever this is




Until you burn all of the witches
I don't believe whatever this is

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to I Don't Know How but They Found Me's song "Absinthe" bring a clear message against blindly following the crowd or tradition. In the first verse, the singer asks for the crowd to bring their sons and daughters to him because Absinthe, a traditionally alcoholic spirit, makes the heart grow fonder. This could be interpreted as the singer urging the listener to try something new which may be initially bitter or unknown but could ultimately bring joy.


Then in the chorus, the singer dismisses the warnings of their mother and warns that blindly following old methods and not questioning the status quo may lead to negative outcomes. The singer emphasizes the importance of questioning and independent thinking, as well as standing against any practices that are harmful or unjust.


The second verse seems to suggest that there is something sinister at play, with the repeated line "I don't believe whatever this is until you burn all of the witches." Here, the singer could be speaking against conformity at its most extreme, urging the listener to question and resist even if those around them resort to violence and persecution. The final repeated statement "I don't believe whatever this is" clarifies that the singer is advocating strongly against blind conformity of any kind, rather than supporting any particular philosophy or point of view.


Overall, the lyrics to "Absinthe" urge listeners to reject conformity and to think for themselves, even if it means standing up against the status quo or being seen as an outsider. It is a call to action to resist blind obedience and to question everything.
