You Know
Ramsey & Fen feat. Kr@zie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Til you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose,
You don't know what love is.
You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost,
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost,
Do you know how a lost heart fears
At the thought of reminiscing,
And how lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kissing?
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that can, not live yet never dies.
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes,
You don't know what love is.
The lyrics to Ramsey & Fen feat. Kr@zie's song "You Know" delve into the profound and complex nature of love, particularly focusing on its painful aspects. The refrain "You don't know what love is" serves as a recurring reminder that true understanding of love can only be achieved through experiencing its trials and tribulations.
The first verse suggests that one cannot truly comprehend the depth of love until they have experienced heartbreak. The reference to the blues signifies the emotional anguish and sadness that accompany love's loss. To truly know love, one must have loved so intensely that they have had to let go, understanding the bittersweet nature of affection.
The second verse explores the physical toll that love can take on a person. The reference to lips hurting implies the pain and sacrifice that comes with a passionate kiss. The line "flipping your heart and losing" suggests that one must give their heart fully only to see it broken, reinforcing the idea that real love entails vulnerability and the risk of getting hurt.
The bridge delves into the fear of reminiscing about a lost love and the lingering sadness that remains. The mention of tears on the lips brings forth the idea that with heartbreak, the joy of kissing loses its allure. The following lines emphasize the burning sensation in one's heart for an unattainable love that, although it cannot be lived, refuses to die. The poignant imagery of facing each dawn with sleepless eyes highlights the sleepless nights that love can induce.
Overall, the lyrics convey that love is a complex amalgamation of joy, pain, sacrifice, fear, and longing. It is a journey that cannot be comprehended unless one has fully immersed themselves in its various facets and experienced both its highs and lows.

And how the lips, which are soaked in tears
Lose their taste for kissing
No longer find pleasure in kissing
You don't know how hearts burn
You are unaware of the intense pain felt by hearts
For love that can, not live yet never dies
For a love that cannot exist but still remains everlasting
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
Unless you have endured sleepless nights due to love
You don't know what love is
You still lack a complete understanding of love
