You Know
M. Kriete Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you know where you're going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to
Do you know?
Do you get
What you're hoping for
When you look behind you
There's no open door
What are you hoping for
Do you know?
Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies
That filled our minds
You knew how I loved you
But my spirit was free
Laughing at the questions
That you once asked of me
Do you know where you're going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to
Do you know
Now looking back at all we've planned
We let so many dreams
Just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long
Before we'll see
How sad the answers
To those questions can be
Do you know where you're going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to
Do you know
Do you get
What you're hoping for
When you look behind you
There's no open door




What are you hoping for
Do you know

The lyrics highlight the importance of questioning life’s inconsistencies and figuring out where one stands in the grand scheme of things.


The song speaks to the human condition of constantly questioning one's purpose and life journey. It touches on the fear of missed opportunities and the realization that some dreams may not come true. It also notes that sometimes people do not appreciate what life has to offer, and the results of living with blinders on can be disappointing. The song ends by questioning whether people actually know where they're going, or if life is a meandering journey with closed doors, dashed dreams, and unknown outcomes.

Do you know where you're going to
Are you aware of the direction your life is taking?


Do you like the things that life is showing you
Are you content with the experiences life is presenting you?


Where are you going to
What is your ultimate destination in life?


Do you know?
Are you certain about these answers?


Do you get
Are you receiving

The things you yearn for?


When you look behind you
When you reflect on your life


There's no open door
You realize that some opportunities have been lost


What are you hoping for
What goals are you pursuing?


Do you know?

Once we were standing still in time
There was a period in the past when we were stagnant


Chasing the fantasies
Pursuing unrealistic dreams


That filled our minds
That consumed our thoughts


You knew how I loved you
You were aware of my affection


But my spirit was free
But I was still independent


Laughing at the questions
Joking about your inquiries


That you once asked of me
That you used to pose to me


Now looking back at all we've planned
Upon retrospection of our prior arrangements


We let so many dreams
We allowed many aspirations


Just slip through our hands
To merely pass away from our grasp


Why must we wait so long
Why is it taking so much time


Before we'll see
Before we comprehend


How sad the answers
How unhappy the solutions


To those questions can be
To the queries we have

Let me know your thoughts on todays episode

Jacob Wilson

My follow up question is on Riley Herbst, will he doing a few races for the Cup Series mainly a few from RWR (Rick Ware Racing) & FRM (Front Row Motorsport) in 2024?

Logan England

I hope Sergio Perez makes a start in nascar someday maybe with Rick Ware

Jacob Wilson

In my opinion, I don't think Shelden Creed going to JGR, but I would see Shelden either go to Kaulig #11 or Jordan Anderson Racing 3rd Car #22. For JGR Xfinity, I would say Chandler Smith replacing John Hunter Nemechek & Ryan Truex replacing Sammie Smith & I agree with JGR #19 will be the All-Star like John Hunter Nemechek, Ty Gibbs, Erik Jones, Tyler Reddick, Denny Hamlin, Christopher Bell, Bubba Wallace, Corey Heim, & Kamui Kobayashi
