Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go with the flow, everybody here knows
You gotta go, you gotta go
She listens up telling everybody "no"
You gotta go, you gotta go
And save yourself from doing all that's wrong now,
And save yourself from, lord I don't know
We got time, and time is rolling on now
I don't know

I don't know

Gonna listen to me, listen to me sideways
Hold me down and whisper in my ear
Gonna listen to me, listen to me my way
Golden town, you'l know it when your here

You don't even know

Do you know, do you know girl, do you know now

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from Soldiers Can't Dance's song Lego are about following your instincts and avoiding negativity. The opening lines, "Go with the flow, everybody here knows/You gotta go, you gotta go," suggest that it's important to just keep moving forward and not get too bogged down in things. However, there is advice to "save yourself from doing all that's wrong now" indicating that there are limits to just going with the flow – it is important to make smart decisions and steer clear of situations that could be harmful.

The second half of the verse is more introspective, with the repeated line "I don't know" suggesting a sense of uncertainty or confusion. The chorus then switches to talking about being listened to and heard, with the line "Gonna listen to me, listen to me sideways/Hold me down and whisper in my ear" conveying a sense of intimacy and trust. The repeated phrase "You don't even know" could be interpreted a few different ways, but seems to reflect a sense of detachment from the outside world and perhaps the mystery of what lies ahead.

Go with the flow, everybody here knows
Follow the crowd, everyone knows the drill

You gotta go, you gotta go
You've got to move on and let go

She listens up telling everybody "no"
Ignoring others and saying no to them

And save yourself from doing all that's wrong now,
Preventing yourself from doing the wrong things

And save yourself from, lord I don't know
And save yourself from unknown dangers

We got time, and time is rolling on now
We have time, but it's running out

I don't know
There's uncertainty

Gonna listen to me, listen to me sideways
Listen to me carefully and attentively

Comfort me and speak to me softly

Gonna listen to me, listen to me my way
Listen to me according to my rules

When you reach the perfect place, you'll know it
