Don't You Know
Ron Paul Morin & Luke P. Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or my history
When you open up your mouth
All I hear is jealousy
Your words they cannot hurt me
Won't even make me frown
Your tiny brain just ain't enough
You'll never bring me down
Which we never will
Maybe you would learn
A thing or two about yourself
You think you're some big picture
And the world revolves around you
But your words they hold no gravity
And don't make any sense
You don't know my story
Don't even know my name
You seem to have a problem
A syndrome of some kind
The booze gives you false courage
Makes you think you're something special
But your so called friends won't back you up
They've gone 'n left you behind
If we got down to fighting
Which we never will
Maybe you would learn
A thing or two about yourself
You think you're some big picture
And the world revolves around you
But your words they hold no gravity
And don't make any sense
If we got down to fighting
Which we never will
Maybe you would learn
A thing or two about yourself
You don't know my story
Don't know where I come from
In here you are the stranger
In here you don't belong
I think that you should turn around
And leave while you still can
Cos' you don't know my story
You'll never understand
In Ron Paul Morin & Luke P. Wilson's song Don't You Know, the lyrics talk about a person who thinks that they know everything about the other person, but actually they don't know anything. The song starts with "You don't know my story, or my history". The person being addressed is saying that the person does not know anything about them but is still assuming things and saying hurtful words. The lyrics then say "When you open up your mouth, all I hear is jealousy", which is saying that the person is not saying anything concrete, they're just jealous of the other person.
The lyrics then say "You think you're some big picture, and the world revolves around you, but your words they hold no gravity and don't make any sense". This means that the person being addressed is trying to make everything about them and their world view, but they aren't saying anything that makes sense, they're just trying to assert themselves. The song then goes on to say that the person being addressed is actually a stranger in this world, and they should leave.
Overall, the message that the song is trying to get across is that you shouldn't assume things about people and say hurtful things because you might actually know nothing about them.

And leave while you still can
Depart before the situation worsens

Because you lack knowledge about me
You'll never understand
You will never be able to comprehend me
