Less I Know
NOTD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Settle for the on and off again
You ain't gotta lie
No, you ain't gotta try
Broke 'cause my heart was tossed again
Smoke until my mind is altering
You ain't gotta lie
You know that you can
Go where you want just leave your kiss
I'm down to break my heart like this
I'll trade it all for part time bliss
Oh, you can hang from me loosely
As long as you don't let go
Don't let go, no, no
Don't let go, no, no
If you could save me your words
I'll get more from the less I know
Less I know, less I know
Less I know, less I know
I know there's a chance that I'll regret it
Settle for the take what I can get
I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna go, no
You know that you can
Go where you want just leave your kiss
I'm down to break my heart like this
I'll trade it all for part time bliss
Oh, you can hang from me loosely
As long as you don't let go
Don't let go, no, no
Don't let go, no, no
If you could save me your words
I'll get more from the less I know
Less I know, less I know
Less I know, less I know
Less I know, less I know
Less I know, less I know
You can hang from me loosely
As long as you, as long as you
You don't let go
Oh, you can hang from me loosely
As long as you don't let go
Don't let go, no, no
Don't let go, no, no
If you could save me your words
I'll get more from the less I know
Less I know, less I know
Less I know, less I know
Less I know, less I know
The lyrics of NOTD's song "Less I Know" seem to express a sense of resignation and acceptance in a tumultuous romantic relationship. The singer acknowledges the cyclical nature of the relationship, referring to it as being "on and off again." They understand that their partner doesn't have to lie or try to make things better. The singer reveals that their heart has been broken before, leading them to seek temporary escape through smoking. Despite this, they still desire the connection with their partner and are willing to endure the heartbreak that may come with it.
The chorus suggests that the singer is willing to hold onto their partner even if it's a loose hold. They value the connection and intimacy, urging their partner not to let go. The line "If you could save me your words, I'll get more from the less I know" implies that the singer would rather not know the details or the full truth about the situation. Ignorance, in this case, brings them a sense of peace and protection from potentially painful information.
Overall, the lyrics convey a complicated and bittersweet dynamic in a relationship. While the singer recognizes the potential regret and settling involved, they are still willing to take the risk for moments of happiness and connection.
