Understanding
some minor noise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can't go back no
matter how hard you try,
it's just short time now until you die.
And you can't start over
when you just got off the ground
you felt your feet just to stand down.
You know you can't fight
it off against the world.
Your will means nothing now.
and you know you can't fight it off,
You just crawled in the ring
And got knocked out in the first round.
you just can't win, no
you just can't win
you just can't win, no
you just can't win
you just can't win, no
you just can't win
And you just can't stop the herding
when it's beating down on you.
Can't just close off anymore
You've gone cored
You just can't stop the bleeding
when all the pressure in your hand
it's overwhelming
You Understand, understand
You Understand, understand
You Understand, understand
You Understand.
You know you can't fight
it off against the world.
Your stake means nothing now.
and you know you can't fight it off,
You just crawled in the ring
And got knocked out in the first round.
This came bleeding
and just found the beginning
I'd give anything but I got nothing.
you just can't win,
you just can't win
you just can't win,
you just can't win




you just can't win, no
you just can't win

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Understanding" by Some Minor Noise seem to be exploring the theme of hopelessness and the feeling of being overwhelmed by the world. The song opens with the realization that one cannot change the past, no matter how hard they try. It then laments the fact that starting over is not an option, even though it feels like the person has just begun. The image of feeling one's feet just to stand down suggests a sense of defeat and resignation.


The chorus repeats the phrase "you just can't win" several times, emphasizing the feeling of powerlessness. The idea that the world is beating down on the person and they can't stop the herding or the bleeding suggests a sense of being trapped and unable to escape the pressure.


The final lines of the song suggest that the person has accepted their situation, acknowledging that they can't fight it off and that they understand. The repetition of the word "understand" feels like a plea for empathy, as if asking the listener to recognize their struggle.
