I Guess

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To know what It means
I guess I could try to know what it all means
I guess I could try
I guess I could
But I can't
So I won't
No I can't
I guess I could try
To know what It means
I guess I could try
Look at the stars
Or look at my hands
Read some cards
Make some demands
But I won't
Even though I guess I could
No I Won't
Even though I guess I
Could
I guess I could try
To know what It means
I guess I could try to know what it all means
I guess I could try
I guess I could
But I can't
So I won't
No I can't
So I won't
I guess I could try
To know what It means
I guess I could try
Look at the stars
Or look at my hands
Read some cards
Make some demands
But I won't
Even though I guess I could
No I Won't
Even though I guess I
Could
The lyrics to Clark Hawkes' song "I Guess" seem to express a feeling of being overwhelmed by the complexities of life and the universe that may ultimately be impossible to fully understand. The repetition of "I guess I could try to know what it all means" and "I guess I could try to know what it means" indicates a desire to understand, but also an acknowledgement that this may be an impossible task. The verses also suggest different methods that the singer could use to try to gain understanding, such as looking at the stars, reading cards, or making demands, but ultimately they decide not to pursue these options.
The chorus, "But I can't, so I won't, no I can't, so I won't", reinforces the idea that the singer feels incapable of truly understanding the mysteries of the universe. The final lines of the song repeat the same verses, suggesting a cyclical pattern of questioning and ultimately resigning oneself to the fact that some things may never be fully understood.
Overall, the song seems to express a common human struggle with the limitations of knowledge and understanding. It suggests that sometimes we must accept that we cannot know everything, and that this acceptance can bring a sense of peace.
