I Don't Know
Vampire! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seldom, if ever, does she cross my mind
Yesterday's gone, Lord, it's better forgotten
Like the poison red berries to die on the vine
This mornin' at dawn, Lord, I pulled into town
Had some coffee and talked with some old friends of mine
Laughin' at the good times they remembered
Lord, I can see the bright lights back in Dallas
As yesterday moves like a dream through my mind
I didn't suppose that I'd ever forget her
And you know, it took such a long time
But I don't think much about her no more
Seldom, if ever, does she cross my mind
Yesterday's gone and it's better forgotten
It's like a poison red berry that clings to the mind
The song "I Don't Know" by Vampire! highlights the idea of moving on from a past relationship. The singer acknowledges that they used to think about this person often, but now it's rare for thoughts of them to pop up. They use the metaphor of poisonous berries to describe how memories of this relationship can be harmful and better left forgotten. The singer then describes a recent visit to a small town where they met up with old friends and reminisced about good times. This jogged their memory of a time when they were in Dallas and can still vividly see the bright lights in their mind. Despite this memory, the singer reaffirms that they don't dwell on the past relationship anymore.

I don't think much about her no more
I rarely think of her anymore
Seldom, if ever, does she cross my mind
I almost never think of her
Yesterday's gone, Lord, it's better forgotten
It's best to forget about the past, even if it was once good
Like the poison red berries to die on the vine
Holding onto past memories is like clinging to something harmful
This mornin' at dawn, Lord, I pulled into town
I arrived in town early this morning
Had some coffee and talked with some old friends of mine
I caught up with some old friends over coffee
Laughin' at the good times they remembered
We reminisced and laughed about the good times we shared
And then I remembered a time
Suddenly, a specific memory came to mind
Lord, I can see the bright lights back in Dallas
I vividly recall the bright lights of Dallas
As yesterday moves like a dream through my mind
The past feels like a distant dream
I didn't suppose that I'd ever forget her
I didn't think I would ever forget about her
And you know, it took such a long time
But it took a long time to move on
But I don't think much about her no more
I rarely think of her anymore
Seldom, if ever, does she cross my mind
I almost never think of her
Yesterday's gone and it's better forgotten
It's best to forget about the past, even if it was once good
It's like a poison red berry that clings to the mind
Holding onto past memories is like clinging to something harmful
