Understand
Riddle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do you go on pretending
You know you want to be free
Darling, you know I'll let you go
You'd do the same for me

I understand
And darling, you are not to blame
If when we kiss it's not the same
I understand
It's not your fault because your heart has changed it's mind
You didn't mean to be unkind
I understand
Forgetting you will be far from easy
I've grown so used to your charms
I'll miss that old thrill and no one can fill
The place here in my arms
But if you find our love was really meant to be
Then darling, hurry back to me
And I'll understand

I understand
And darling, you are not to blame
If when we kiss it's not the same
I understand.
It's not your fault because your heart has changed it's mind
You didn't mean to be unkind
I understand
Forgetting you will be far from easy
I've grown so used to your charms
I'll miss that old thrill and no one can fill
The place here in my arms




But if you find our love was really meant to be
Then darling, hurry back to me

The answer can also be PRESSURE 😮
Into explanation,

Polar bears are white because the pressure at the poles is low, so they have to be able to absorb heat.

Pressure makes you cry if it’s too much.

Pressure in your bladder makes you have to pee.

Peer pressure makes girls comb their hair

Celebrities usually crack under pressure.

Many normal people will shine under pressure.

Pancakes turn brown thanks to pressure generated by the heat.

Champagne will bubble until the pressure of the carbonation has disappeared.

If you squeeze something under pressure, BAM, there it goes.

If you are “looking” at pressure, you’re in it. for example–>in an airplane your ears pop under pressure!

Edit:idk if this explains the whole thing but there could be many answers like time or the answer could be "NO".😅

Could also be "time" cuz

When polar bears are born, they are yellow and they turn white over time
time and time again, we humans cry
in time, girls have to comb their hair.....
Boy's eventually gotta pee
in time, celebrities do something stupid.
in time, a child can grow up handsome just like a celebrity
in time, pancakes turn brown in an oven
in time, champagne bubbles in its process of being made
if you stare at a clock, it goes so slow, so you will 'pop'

I may sound like a nerd, but the answer is "time"

You see

When polar bears are born, they are yellow and they turn white over time
time and time again, we humans cry
in time, girls have to comb their hair.....
in time, celebrities do something stupid.
in time, a child can grow up handsome just like a celebrity
in time, pancakes turn brown in an oven
in time, champagne bubbles in its process of being made
if you stare at a clock, it goes so slow, so you will 'pop'

One word its...



a l c h o h o l


Is that all or did I. Miss any



「ЯΛПD002」

The answer is pressure.
Pressure makes it cold- causes polar bears to be right.
Pressure makes people cry-- It's not a good feeling to be under a crud-ton of pressure.
Pressure in the bladder from pee makes us feel the need to do so.
I believe air pressure causes hair to frizz up.
High-pressure moments in a sports game can cost a whole game for a celebrity. Even when the shot is easy.
Now this one is tricky-- Say you've been taking music lessons like me and nobody knows about you. My music teacher asked me to play at the German Consulate. Since I had never played there before, I'm considered normal. If I play there, then I will look like a celebrity. There's also a lot of pressure involved in learning the songs.
Air pressure turns pancakes brown.
Carbonated drinks need air pressure to be, well- Carbonated.
Balloons. Don't really need to elaborate there.
Under a lot of pressure? You might just give up. Considered popping.

My answer is "Time"
Explanation:
In time when polar bears are born, they are bit reddy and they turn white over time
Time to time again we humans cry
Time to time, girls have to comb their hair
In time, celebrities doing something stupid like we see on internet etc.
In time, a child can grow handsome just like celebrity
In time, pancakes turn brown in an oven
In time, champagne bubbles in its process of being made
If you stare at a clock, it goes so slow so you will 'pop'
