Who Knows
Loudness Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been captured by fantasy
Woke up inside her jealousy

Who knows what she needs
I am moving at my own speed
She spins a web inside my mind
But the spell of her dance is leaving me blind
Torn myself on with from her grasp
Get away, this tempting won't last

Who knows what she needs
I turn around, she reaches for me
She spins a web inside my mind
But the spell of her dance is leaving me blind

Time to take a stand!
Chasing after me
Take a stand and see!
It isn't worth it
Time to take a stand!
How long? How long?
Try to make a scene!
She's a nightmare

Who knows what she needs
I am moving at my own speed
She spins a web inside my mind
But the spell of her dance is leaving me blind

Time to take a stand!
It's happening to me
Take a stand and see!
She's not worth it
Time to take a stand!
How long? How long? How long?




Try to make a scene!
She's a nightmare

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Loudness's song "Who Knows" describe a man who is caught up in a passionate, but ultimately destructive relationship. He begins by admitting that he has been "captured by fantasy" and "woke up inside her jealousy," suggesting that he is fully immersed in this woman's world and has become trapped by her possessiveness. Despite this, he acknowledges that he is moving at his own speed and is not entirely under her control. However, he is struggling to break free from the web she has woven in his mind and is feeling increasingly blinded by the spell of her seductive dance.


As the song progresses, the man becomes more resolute in his desire to break away from this toxic relationship. He realizes that he has been torn away from himself and needs to get away from her grasp before it's too late. He implores himself to take a stand and realize that this woman is not worth the trouble she is causing him. He knows that he needs to make a scene and put an end to this nightmare once and for all.


Overall, "Who Knows" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of being lost in a toxic relationship. The man in the song serves as a warning to others who may find themselves similarly entranced by a partner who is more trouble than they are worth. By openly acknowledging the dangers of this dynamic and urging himself to break free from it, he ultimately demonstrates the courage it takes to reclaim one's own autonomy and move towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
