In "I Know" by Shift K3Y, the singer seems to be aware of what someone is looking for but acknowledges that he is not the type or guy that fits that description. Despite that, he offers to make her feel like something she has not experienced before. The repetition of the word type in the chorus suggests that the individual is seeking a particular kind of person, but the singer is not that person. Still, he seems to be open to exploring and playing with the individual's expectations of what they're looking for.
On one level, the lyrics could be interpreted as a desire to please someone and make them feel fulfilled, even if the singer knows that he isn't the ideal person for her. There's a sense that he's offering her an opportunity to experience something different, something that may not be typical of the person she's looking for. At the same time, the repetition of the word type could be a reference to the way people have specific expectations when they're looking for a partner. In this case, the singer is acknowledging that he may not fit into those expectations, but he's still willing to try and create something new and unique.
Overall, the lyrics of "I Know" suggest a willingness to break free from the constraints of what society expects and explore new things, even if it's not what we're traditionally looking for. It's a reminder that sometimes the things that surprise us the most are the things that we never knew we wanted.
