You Know
M. Kriete Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 M. Kriete song "You Know" talks about the uncertainties that people face in life. The lyrics ask important questions about where people are going and whether they like what life has to offer. The singer wonders if people ever get what they hope for and if the opportunities they seek actually exist. The song goes on to talk about moments in life when people stand still in time and chase their dreams, but often they let them slip away. 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.

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

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
