I Don't Know
Judge Jules Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last November I was told
That love is blind and your heart will not grow old

I hate to tell you, I hate to cry
But my mouth keeps moving while the tears roll from my eyes

Now every evening I feel cold
'Cause all I know is what I'm told

You can watch me moving faster
You can ask me where I'll go
But baby, don't expect an answer
'Cause I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

In the winter I feel warm
'Cause I relate to the freezing falling storms

Now I could tell you what I mean
But I don't know what I believe

You can watch me moving faster
You can ask me where I'll go
But baby, don't expect an answer
'Cause I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

I don't know where to go
I, I wish I had a heart to follow
I don't know what to know
My mind is feeling so hollow

You can watch me moving faster
You can ask me where I'll go, go
But baby, don't expect an answer
'Cause I don't know, I don't know, I don't know




I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

The singer then admits that they feel warmth during the winter because they can relate to the freezing falling storms. They could explain what they mean, but they don't actually know what they believe. The overarching message is that the singer is lost and confused about life, love, and the future.

Line by Line Meaning

Last November I was told
I was given advice in November


That love is blind and your heart will not grow old
I was told that love can make you act irrationally and ageless


I hate to tell you, I hate to cry
I feel emotional and upset


But my mouth keeps moving while the tears roll from my eyes
I'm talking but crying at the same time


Now every evening I feel cold
I feel lonely and isolated


'Cause all I know is what I'm told
I only have secondhand knowledge


You can watch me moving faster
You can observe me being busy and productive


You can ask me where I'll go
You can inquire about my plans


But baby, don't expect an answer
But I can't guarantee a response


'Cause I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Because I am uncertain


In the winter I feel warm
I feel comforted by winter's coldness


'Cause I relate to the freezing falling storms
Because I identify with the harsh environment


Now I could tell you what I mean
I can try to explain myself


But I don't know what I believe
But I am unsure of my own beliefs


I don't know where to go
I don't know what direction to take


I, I wish I had a heart to follow
I desire to have a clear sense of purpose


I don't know what to know
I am uncertain about what information to trust


My mind is feeling so hollow
I feel empty and lacking in direction


But baby, don't expect an answer
But I can't guarantee a response


'Cause I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Because I am uncertain


I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I am repeating my uncertainty
