Everybody Knows
Raeko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
27 times tonight, every time you try to fight
But I don't want to give it away
Everybody knows what you wanted to say
Running, I won't change a new faith
Can't you see that
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows where you're gonna be
Change your common many ways
Someone miss the good old days
Someone look on past tonight
Change can make you feel alive
But I don't want to give it away
Everybody knows what you wanted to say
Running, I won't change a new faith
Can't you see that
Everybody knows
Everybody knows where you're gonna be
Everybody knows
Everybody knows where you're gonna be
I don't feel my choices
Don't feel my choice represent you at all means
I don't feel my choices
Don't feel my choice represent you at all means
Everybody knows
Everybody knows where you're gonna be
Everybody knows
Everybody knows where you're gonna be
In Raeko's song Everybody Knows, the singer is exploring themes of identity and changing one's ways. The repeated line "everybody knows where you're gonna be" suggests that the subject of the song is predictable and unchanging, despite attempts at self-discovery and reinvention. The lines "change can make you feel alive" and "I don't feel my choices represent you at all means" reflect a struggle between conformity and individuality, as the singer acknowledges the pressure to fit in but ultimately asserts their own autonomy.
The repeated line "but I don't want to give it away" can be interpreted as a refusal to reveal too much of oneself or one's intentions, perhaps due to fear of judgment or vulnerability. The line "running, I won't change a new faith" suggests that the singer is determined to stay true to their beliefs and values, even if they may be unpopular or misunderstood. Overall, the song conveys a sense of restlessness and longing for authenticity in a world that prizes conformity.
