Look Like You Know
Royal Blood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say my prayers every night
But no one's there to make it right
Holding on
Nothing's changed
Same old love just rearranged

No it's not better
No it's not better
No it's not better
No
No it's not better
No it's not better
No it's not better
So

Just look like you know
Look like you know something I should
I think I should go
I really feel like you want me to
Don't say that you want me
Don't pray the wish you can't make come true
Can I be replaced?
'Cause that look on your face
Says, "baby I never knew"

Happiness on a drip
To total bliss running down the drain
Losing count of the days
Now every kiss just feels the same

No it's not better
No it's not better
No it's not better
No
No it's not better
No it's not better
No it's not better
So

Just look like you know
Look like you know something I should
I think I should go
I really feel like you want me to
Don't say that you want me
Don't pray the wish you can't make come true
Can I be replaced?
'Cause that look on your face
Says, "baby I never knew"

Just look like you know
Look like you know something I should
I think I should go
I really feel like you want me to
Don't say that you want me
Don't pray the wish you can't make come true
Can I be replaced?




'Cause that look on your face
Says, "baby I never knew"

Overall Meaning

In "Look Like You Know," Royal Blood paints a picture of a relationship that is stagnant and unfulfilling. The singer sings about how he prays every night but feels like no one is hearing him. He's holding onto the hope that something will change, but nothing does. The love that he used to feel is still there, but it's been rearranged and twisted into something that he doesn't recognize. Though he wants things to get better, he knows deep down that they won't. The chorus is where the singer asks his partner to look like they know something that he doesn't. He wants to believe that there's some hope left, that maybe there's something he's missing. But he also knows that his partner probably wants him to leave.


The second verse continues the theme of disillusionment. The singer is losing count of the days, everything feels the same, and even their kisses are no longer special. He recognizes that he's not happy, and that happiness is just a temporary feeling that's slipping away. The chorus repeats, with the singer craving some kind of sign that things can improve, but ultimately knowing that they can't. The song ends with the repeated line "baby I never knew," indicating the singer's realization that the relationship he thought he had is not the one that actually exists.

HypnotiX Sounds I'm not a spammer. What's everyone's fucking problem? I've been playing drums for less than 2 years and I'm only wanting peoples opinions. What have I done to deserve to be spoken to like this?

I still canโ€™t believe itโ€™s just two guys. Theyโ€™re fantastic and even better than a lot of โ€œfullโ€ bands with more members.
