Situation
the knees Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got a better idea
Let's take it to the start 'til we can't see the end
And as for the feelings in here
You know it's still the truth if we only pretend

This revelation's kind of more than I thought I know
This information's kind of got nowhere else to go
Think I'm invisible and spinning from head to toe
And now I know we've got a situation, oh-whoa-oh-oh

I'd better talk to myself
I can't forget that I've got my head in the clouds
Stand up and hold in my breath
I'm wide awake, but brother, it's a long way down

This explanation's kind of leaving me asking me why
My concentration's kind of leaving me high and dry
Think I'm invisible, I'm messed up from head to toe
And now I know we've got a situation, oh-whoa-oh-oh

We've got a situation, oh-whoa-oh-oh
We've got a situation, oh-whoa-oh-oh




We've got a situation, oh-whoa-oh-oh
(Whoa-oh-oh)

Overall Meaning

The Knee's song "Situation" is a fast-paced and energetic tune that explores the complexities of a situation that the singer is going through. The lyrics seem to be indicating that the situation is challenging and confusing, as the singer talks about feeling invisible, spinning from head to toe, and being messed up. They also talk about taking it to the start until we can't see the end and pretending to only see the truth. This can be seen as an attempt to simplify or make sense of the situation, even if it is not entirely accurate or genuine.


The song's chorus is about acknowledging that there is a situation that needs to be dealt with, but there is no clear indication of what that situation is. However, it is suggested that it may be something that is causing the singer to feel confused, overwhelmed, and possibly even disoriented. The imagery of having one's head in the clouds and standing up while holding one's breath creates a sense of tension, as if the singer is on the verge of something significant or potentially dangerous.


Overall, the song seems to be about confronting a problem or challenge that the singer is experiencing, with the implication that this situation is complex and difficult to resolve. It is also about acknowledging the reality of the situation, even if it is unclear what that reality is.

You’re the realist, simplest and profound teacher. I’ve ever heard! You’re just uniquely you!🇧🇸

My husband and I absolutely love watching Pastors Robert and Taylor. We look forward to this every week after our home church service. Sometimes we watch multiple times. I have to admit that I legit nearly choke on my coffee every morning - because of how hilarious Pastor Robert can be in the midst of his sermons. He is incredibly Annointed and so wise - truly called for this ministry. My kids love watching as well - so wish I had Pastors like this growing up. Thank you for all that you both do! Lots of love from Jacksonville, NC!

Greetings from Ketchikan Alaska. Another amazing service. Beautiful worship especially the song you are awesome in this place just before Pastor Madu spoke. Hadn’t heard that song in years.

God bless you pastor Roberts this video made me laugh and ended with me crying. Such a blessed word of the Lord. In the season am in i needed this message thank you!🙏

@mirindawessels1987

Yes, i can also testify to the grace of our God in my life ❤. Such a wonderful Saviour we serve😊

@kendallmeans8796

This freed me… when pastor said “Really all God cares about is do they serve the God that you serve? Do they worship who you worship?” I feel like I’m always questioning who comes into my life bc I believe God and the Devil will send ppl into your life.

@playlistgospelmusic2840

Thank you Jesus! Hindi man kami karapatdapat ngunit inibig mo ng lubos 😭 It is my prayer Lord, that you will continue to comfort and strengthen your people in this last days. Save us Lord! We are nothing without you, we can't do anything without you. All Glory and Honor be to your most precious name, JESUS! 💕

@bossxladyxbb4743
