No One Knows
Mark Ronson feat. Domino Lyrics

We get some rules to follow
We are given guidelines to follow

That and this, these and those
These rules dictate what to do and not to do

No one knows
It is unclear who created these rules or for what purpose

We get these pills to swallow
We are given medication to take

How they stick in your throat
The pills are difficult to swallow

Taste like gold
The pills are valuable despite being unpleasant

Oh what you do to me
The pills have an effect on me, but it is not specified what it is

No one knows
The effect of these pills is unknown or unclear

I realize you’re mine
I understand that you belong to me

Indeed a fool am I
It may make me foolish to think this way, but I cannot help it

I journey through the desert
I am going through a difficult or barren period

Of the mind with no hope
This difficult period is mental or emotional and seems hopeless

I follow
I keep going regardless

I drift along the ocean
I am adrift in a sea of uncertainty

Dead lifeboat in the sun
Even though I appear to be in a good situation, it is actually flawed or damaged

And come undone
The situation or I myself eventually break down

Pleasantly caving in
Despite this breakdown, there is a sense of calm acceptance

I come undone
I am falling apart or losing control

Heaven smiles above me
There seems to be a positive force watching over me

What a gift here below
There is something wonderful or valuable within my reach

But no one knows
Despite this goodness, it is kept hidden or unknown

The gift that you give to me
There is someone or something giving me this gift, but it is not specified who or what

No one knows
The giver or purpose of this gift is unknown or unclear
