Song Lyrics

For me and Molly to create an effective and convincing music video we first need to understand the song lyrics. We need to make sure that our video has a clear relationship to the lyrics. The chosen song "What You Know" can be interpreted in several ways in my opinion. The idea behind our music video is to portray a forbidden or blind love through dance. I believe that the lyrics may indicate the same kind of idea.

The lyrics for me represent a man who may not have time to devote himself to a certain female or doesn't know whether to pursue a certain romance. 
The line "I can take it if it's what I want to do" could be seen as a undecided thought on whether to be with someone or not. 
It could also be seen as a man singing about his fear of falling in love. 

In a few weeks I will get time

To realise it's right before my eyes

And I can take it if it's what I want to do

I am leaving, this is starting to feel like

It's right before my eyes

And I can taste it, it's my sweet beginning

And I can tell just what you want

You don't want to be alone

You don't want to be alone

And I can't say it's what you know

But you've known it the whole time,

Yeah, you've known it the whole time

Maybe next year I'll have no time

To think about the questions to address

Am I the one to try to stop the fire?

I wouldn't test you, I'm not the best you could have attained

Why try anything?

I will get there, just remember I know

And I can tell just what you want

You don't want to be alone

You don't want to be alone

And I can't say it's what you know

But you've known it the whole time

Yeah, you've known it the whole time

And I can tell just what you want

You don't want to be alone

You don't want to be alone

And I can't say it's what you know

But you've known it the whole time

Yeah, you've known it the whole time 

And I can tell just what you want

You don't want to be alone

You don't want to be alone

And I can't say it's what you know

But you've known it the whole time

Yeah, you've known it the whole time
