Everybody Knows

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long-stem rose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Oh, give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
When you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still picking cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows
And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows
And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
Everybody knows
In Sigrid’s song Everybody Knows, the lyrics focus on human truths and the fact that no matter how hard one tries, these truths cannot be ignored. The opening line “Everybody knows that the dice are loaded” suggests that there is a sense of predetermined fate in life, and that no matter what one does, the outcome is already decided. Similarly, the repeated lines “the poor stay poor, the rich get rich” and “everybody knows the fight was fixed, the good guys lost” indicate that there is a sense of injustice in the world, and that some people are doomed to struggle while others will always succeed. The line “everybody got this broken feeling like their father or their dog just died” touches on the idea that everyone experiences a sense of loss or heartbreak at some point in their lives.
The second verse reinforces these ideas of predetermined fate and injustice. The line “everybody knows that the boat is leaking, everybody knows that the captain lied” suggests that everyone is aware that their ship is sinking, but nobody is willing to do anything about it. The line “everybody talking to their pockets, everybody wants a box of chocolates and a long-stem rose” presents a longing for material wealth and happiness, while also acknowledging that such things cannot solve deeper problems. Finally, the third verse touches on themes of mortality and decay, suggesting that no matter how hard one tries to hold onto life or to maintain appearances, everything is eventually lost.

Except for a few minor lapses in judgment
Everybody knows you've been discreet
Everyone knows that you have been cautious in your actions
But there were so many people you just had to meet

This is just how things happen
Everybody knows

And everybody knows that you live forever
Everyone knows that you will be remembered for your actions
When you've done a line or two
When you have indulged in excess
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Everyone knows that the transaction is corrupt
Old Black Joe's still picking cotton
There is still a legacy of inequality and injustice
For your ribbons and bows
For your superficial adornments
And everybody knows
Everyone is conscious
And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everyone is aware of impending danger
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everyone knows that it's rapidly approaching
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Everyone knows that humanity is exposed and vulnerable
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Are merely relics of a bygone era
Everybody knows the scene is dead
Everyone knows that the environment is lifeless
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
However, you will be held accountable
That will disclose
Those truths will be revealed
What everybody knows
What everyone is privately aware of
And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everyone knows that you are struggling
Everybody knows what you've been through
Everyone is aware of your hardships
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
From the anguished sacrifice of the crucifixion
To the beach of Malibu
To the idyllic coastal paradise
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Everyone is aware that things are falling apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Take one final moment to reflect on this holy symbol
Before it blows
Before it terminates and explodes
Everybody knows
Everyone is conscious of these truths

@LargeAndUngrateful
It’s only the 10th or 11th plague in my lifetime and I’m only 35... I expect them to become more frequent and less treatable until the population is significantly reduced all over.
