Got an answer in your story today
It gave me a sign that didn't feel right, no
So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before
So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before
I just wanted to know if I could go home
And everyone says I don't know
So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before
So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before
Got a notion to say what doesn't feel right
I just wanted to know if I could go home
So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before
So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before
So don't knock it, don't knock it
So don't knock it, don't knock it
So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before
So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before
The lyrics to Kings of Leon's song Notion communicate a sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction with one's current situation, accompanied by a desire for change. The opening line, "I got a notion to say what doesn't feel right," suggests a sense of discomfort or unease, and the subsequent lines speak to the singer's attempts to find answers and signs that will help them move forward. The repetition of the phrase "don't knock it, you've been here before" seems to be a reminder to the singer to avoid dismissing potential opportunities for growth or change just because they may feel familiar or uncomfortable.
The lines "I just wanted to know if I could go home / Been rambling in day after day / And everyone says I don't know" convey a sense of longing for a place of stability or belonging, and frustration at not being able to find it. The final lines of the song continue to emphasize the importance of embracing new experiences and possibilities, rather than simply settling for what feels safe or familiar.
Overall, the lyrics to Notion suggest a desire for growth and change, mixed with a certain level of uncertainty and fear of the unknown. The repetition of certain phrases and the use of simple, direct language help to convey the urgency and clarity of the singer's emotions.
