You Know You Like It
Living In Fiction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I say no way, try again another day
I should be happy, not tipping the scales
I just won't lay, letting my life get away
I'm no fool, no, I'm not a follower
I don't take things as they come, if they bring me down
Life can be cruel, if you're a dreamer
You know you like it but it drives you insane
You know you like it but it drives you insane
You know you like it but you're scared of the shame
What you want, what you gonna do?
You know you like it but it drives you insane
Only 'cause you know that you wanna feel the same
You know you like it but it drives you insane
What you want, what you gonna do?
If you wanna train me, like an animal
Better keep your eye on my every move
There's no need to be so damn cruel
Baby you got nothing to prove
I'm no fool, no, I'm not a follower
I don't take things as they come, if they bring me down
Life can be cruel, if you're a dreamer
I just wanna have some fun, don't tell me what can't be done
You know you like it but it drives you insane
You know you like it but it drives you insane
You know you like it but you're scared of the shame
What you want, what you gonna do?
You know you like it but it drives you insane
Only 'cause you know that you wanna feel the same
You know you like it but it drives you insane
What you want, what you gonna do?
The lyrics of "You Know You Like it" by Living In Fiction speak to the idea of not conforming to societal expectations and choosing to live life on one's own terms. The opening lines of the chorus, "You know you like it but it drives you insane," suggest that the singer is aware of what society expects of them, but they choose not to conform to it. The singer acknowledges that they are not willing to let societal expectations dictate their life and that they want to have fun. The lines "I'm no fool, no, I'm not a follower / I don't take things as they come, if they bring me down" further highlight this sentiment that the singer is not willing to blindly follow what society expects of them if it does not align with their values and beliefs.
The second verse talks about the idea of being treated like an animal and having to keep an eye on every move. These lines suggest that there are people who want to control and manipulate the singer, but they are not willing to let themselves be treated that way. The singer asserts their independence and refuses to be controlled by others.
Overall, the lyrics speak to the idea of self-confidence, individuality, and living life on one's own terms. It is a call to break free from the constraints of societal expectations and be true to oneself.

After hearing this earlier and immediately thinking "this needs a metal cover", I searched and found this and immediately started saying "please don't fuck up please don't fuck up"
Needless to say, you did not fuck up. Christ almighty, this is fucking awesome.
