I Want To Know
Rainville Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know the truth
And it's coming for you
You knew that no one else could
See right through you
You held me back from my life

I know the truth
And it's coming for you
You knew that no one else could
See right through you
I held me back from my life, I held myself from my life

Aargh





I held myself from my life, I held myself from my life

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, the singer seems to be confronting someone who has been deceptive or manipulative towards them. The repeated lines about knowing the truth and it coming for the other person suggest that the singer has uncovered some deceitful behavior and is determined to expose it. The lines "You knew that no one else could see right through you" indicate that the other person thought they were being clever or getting away with their actions, but the singer has seen through their facade. This could be related to a betrayal or a breach of trust that the singer has experienced.


The phrase "You held me back from my life" suggests that the actions of the other person have had a negative impact on the singer, possibly hindering their personal growth or success in some way. This could imply a sense of feeling trapped or restricted by the other person's behavior. The repetition of this line emphasizes the lingering effects of the other person's actions on the singer.


The subsequent lines shift the focus to the singer's own actions, as they acknowledge their role in holding themselves back from their own life. This could suggest a sense of self-blame or realization that they allowed themselves to be influenced or held back by the other person's actions. The repetition of "I held myself from my life" further underscores this internal struggle and conflict within the singer.


The inclusion of the exclamation "Aargh" adds a sense of frustration or anger to the lyrics, underscoring the emotional intensity of the situation. It conveys a mix of emotions, including betrayal, self-realization, and perhaps even a desire for retribution or resolution. Overall, these lyrics capture a complex mix of emotions and dynamics in a relationship where one person has been deceptive and the other is grappling with the aftermath of that betrayal.
