You konw how i feel
Lake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night begins where shadows end
That’s what I believe
When you walked into my life
I’m still waiting for you to come
The love you give feels cold to me
Like the longest night of the year
It makes me wonder why
I’m still here

You know how I feel
There’s a part of my life I cant fill
You know how I feel
Cause some of the cuts never heal

And when it came time for us to see the light
Didn’t know what it was
We just thought it was bright
Just an illussion a trick of the light
Cause up in the sky like the sun of moon
Fightin’ over whose gonna shine
You know the days too short
And the nights too soon

You know how I feel
There’s a part of my life I cant fill
You know how I feel
Desperation aint part of the deal
You know how I feel
Some of the cuts never heal
You know how I feel
Don’t wanna be here when you go for the kill

You know how I feel
Desperation aint part of the deal
You know how I feel




Some of the cuts never heal
You know how I feel

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lake's song "You Know How I Feel" express the singer's ambivalence about a relationship that is falling apart. The first verse sets the tone of the ambivalence, with the singer stating that the night begins where shadows end, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the uncertainty and confusion that the singer feels. The arrival of the person they are talking about brings more confusion, as the love they give feels cold, which contrasts with the warmth and light that might normally be associated with love. This contrast leads the singer to wonder why they are still in the relationship.


The chorus expresses the singer's general sense of incompleteness and hurt. They feel that there is a part of their life that they cannot fill, and that some of the cuts that have been inflicted upon them will never heal. It is clear that the relationship is causing them pain, and they express a desire to be away from the relationship before the other person can harm them further. The second verse uses the metaphor of the sun and moon fighting over whose light will shine as a symbol of the relationship's confusion and lack of direction. The singer states that they did not know what they were seeing when they thought they saw the light, and that it was just an illusion.


Overall, the song expresses the idea that the singer is tired of the confusion and hurt caused by the relationship, and they want to move on before more harm is done.


Line by Line Meaning

The night begins where shadows end
I believe that new opportunities and beginnings arise when previous obstacles and shadows are overcome.


When you walked into my life, I’m still waiting for you to come
Although you entered my life, I'm still waiting for you to bring the love and happiness that I desire.


The love you give feels cold to me, like the longest night of the year
The affection and care you provide seems distant and uninviting, like the harsh and cold season of winter.


It makes me wonder why I’m still here
Your lack of warmth and affection causes me to question why I still remain in this relationship.


You know how I feel, there’s a part of my life I can’t fill
You are aware of the emptiness and longing in my heart that cannot be satisfied or fulfilled by anyone or anything else.


Cause some of the cuts never heal
The emotional pain and scars from past experiences and relationships never completely go away.


And when it came time for us to see the light, didn’t know what it was, we just thought it was bright
When the chance for enlightenment and clarity in our relationship arose, we mistook it for something positive and promising without truly understanding its nature.


Just an illusion a trick of the light, cause up in the sky like the sun or moon, fighting over whose gonna shine
The hope and happiness we believed in was merely a false perception, like a mirage or conflict between celestial bodies competing for dominance.


You know the days too short, and the nights too soon
Our time together feels brief and fleeting, as if the days pass by too quickly and the nights come too soon.


Desperation ain’t part of the deal, don’t wanna be here when you go for the kill
Desperation and fear should not be present in a healthy relationship, and I don't want to be here when you finally strike the final blow that will end our love for good.

This song was played on Holy Spirit Day (on Alpha) when my heart was completely healed. It used to have so much pain, heaviness and sadness and God healed it totally, made it flesh and I instantly forgave my parents who argued often as long as my dad lived. And also totally forgave my husband, where the cycle had repeated.

As the healing started my heart felt like a heart of glass- so hard, sharp and painful. I asked for a new heart, a heart of flesh, and for the Holy Spirit to fill me entirely, right down to my toes, and opened myself to it. Then my heart suddenly softened, and literally became different and full of love and forgiveness.

God’s compassion moves and fills my heart. And mostly my mind too. I am still in a journey of getting closer to God, still have some struggles, but I see the blessings that God has in store and I am so grateful.
We are blessed. When God is for you, who can be against you? No one. Nothing. This song inspires me. I listen to it often. It is my favourite worship song.

His Holy Spirit nudges me to speak to others. I just need to listen to his quiet voice, or sometime loud or insistent voice, and speak to others when prompted. Like now.

My heart is now full of joy, praise and seeks to do God’s will whenever possible.

For any of you who have had dysfunctional families, pain from past relationships and other emotional pain and hurt. God can heal your heart. And those who you know and love. Ask wilh ALL of your mind, ask with faith that he will restore you. He has promised and he will.

God can heal your heart. Ask for a new heart, a heart of flesh.

Ezekiel 36:26 promises:

‘I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.’


Dare to ask, believe and you too will have a new heart, a heart of flesh. Ask for your entire body to be filled with his Holy Spirit, and it will be done. Find people to help pray with you if you like. Find a community to support you, if you haven’t got that yet, a group of God’s people.
Fill your cup to overflowing. In Jesus’s mighty name. Amen.

I am praying that you will have a totally new heart. Filled with his divine Love.
It is worth asking for. I assure you. It will change your life. Amen.

The world will be a better place if we ask for new hearts. And are open to receiving them. The more hearts of flesh the more space there is for God’s almighty Kingdom to come to Earth.
❤ Amen 🙏

My son was died, after I gave birth to him... he is not breathing, not moving or crying, his whole body is blue and limp.

My husband cried calling our little baby's name : "Noah.. Noahhh daddy is here.."
the midwife trying to shake our son and calling him.. but He is not breathing or moving.

But we believe so much Jesus could make him alive.. in tears my husband took holy annointing oil and rush to pour it on Noah, we prayed, calling out Jesus name over and over : " Jesus please help Noah.. make him breathe.."

After 5 minutes the miracle happens, Noah started to cough, cried a little and than cried loudly until he peed.. ❤️

JESUS is real.. and He love us.. He love you..

( Sorry for my bad English.. God bless you from Indonesia )

I was born a Muslim in Iraq. I was worried and depressed, sitting and looking at the Tigris River in my city.Jesus' face appeared to me in the water and told me. "Son, you're not alone" And now I'm a Christian, and I pray every day at the edge of the river.Thank you Jesus for this grace. I'm not alone right now. Jesus is with me💜🌸🎊Amen🙏🏾🙏🏾

My 2.5 year old son while listening to this song said he wanted Holy Spirit. He asked Jesus into his heart and gave his life to the Lord. God is so great and faithful and merciful — I’m overwhelmed by His goodness!!!! He’s here and I know He’s moving!

I was crying in my room, with scars and bruises, and He heard my cry to Him, I got healed, I have a stable job and a healthy pregnant wife! And we're expecting a boy, and it's all because of Him. Praise the good ol' God
