Beta - I Know I Don't Know [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Don’t know what to say, don’t know how to say it
Not sure if I should tell or display it
Oh, well, let’s go with this, I’m good
Nothing new is happening, I thought it would
I’m up to my neck in papers, but I’m fine
Half work, half play, the choice is all mine
Get caught up in a book, get caught by a rook
Get caught in a fight, get ruffled, get shook
No one to talk to, but don’t think I’m not trying
Being stuck inside my own head is terrifying
I’ve seen what it can do, it cuts ties
So bad that you can’t even meet their eyes
But time heals all wounds, as they say
And scratches don’t take so long to go away
Bad things happen, people get hurt
But you have to lift yourself up off the dirt
Nothing’s one-sided, that I’ve learned
There are even times when away you must turn
Hating a person seems so useless
Like a carcass being eaten by an animal that’s toothless
Nothing at all will be achieved that way
I’m glad I’m no longer in that pit today
I felt like there’s something that I had to say
That’s why I’m spilling my thoughts, make them go away

[Hook]
I don’t know if I’m being
Melodramatic
Blowing things out of proportion
Feels automatic
I know that I’ll look back on
My reactions and laugh
Hormones screw up emotions
Emotions screw up graphs

[Verse 2]
This would be the part where I call out the “haters”
Bash them, say they’re jealous imitators
Say I don’t care about their comments of what I do
But it’s hard for that to be farther from the truth
I do care what they say about me
I’m scared of what I don’t hear or see
I’m scared of what other people think
I’m scared to imagine that there’s a link
Between what I do and what they say
But worst of all, this feeling will stay
And hear me out before you laugh
Could you get over people talking behind your back?
I guess some can, but that not me
I won’t tell myself that lie, no deceit
I have a limit, and you do too
If you say my limit’s weak, I guess that’s true
Then again, pushing limits is what it’s about
Not everyone can do that, there’s too much doubt
That’s why only a few are great
It’s not special if it’s easy to be in that state
And it’s funny how we idolize other human beings
They’re only humans, but we make them into dreams
Something else entirely, it seems tiring
To be so loved you might as well have barbed wire and
Some of these “greats” aren’t even that good
Their stories and work are misunderstood
It’s weird to think what they would
Have done if the truth came out, and it should

[Hook]
I don’t know if I’m being
Melodramatic
Blowing things out of proportion
Feels automatic
I know that I’ll look back on
My reactions and laugh
Hormones screw up emotions
Emotions screw up graphs

[Verse 3]
We bash things, we tease things
We laugh and we leave things
We lose things, we seize things
Morning, noon and evening
Time flies by then slows to a crawl
Problems outside will drive you up the wall
It feels pointless, running down the hall
Will it be appointed? Maybe not at all
It’s up to you what you want to do
What’s up to me is if I will succeed
But having a group, a clique, a crew
Succeed? Please, I have what I need
