You Don’t Know Me
Well, I had one by my side
But she only tried to get near me
And never ever knowing about my inside..
But one that I hold is worth so
Much more to me if it's both body and her mind
You think I'm alone when everyone's around
You think I'm home but I'm really out
Then you think I'm out but I'm really at home and it seems
That you don't know me no more
You think I'm alone when everyone's around
You think I'm home but I'm really out
Then you think I'm out but I'm really at home and it seems
That you don't know me no more
Girl you don't know me no more, this love is real to me
To make you happy and secure that's what's important to me
And any tie you're not around, I want you here with me
Cause girl, you really appeal to me...
But I see a serious lack of communication
Ask you for a meal, say you want to bring me chicken -
Like you don't know that I'm a vegetarian
Is this a love or an infatuation cause
You think I'm alone when everyone's around
You think I'm home when I'm really out
Then you think I'm out whenI'm really at home and it seems
That you don't know me no more
You think I'm alone when everyone's around
You think I'm home when I'm really out
Then you think I'm out when I'm really at home and it seems
That you don't know me no more, no
You don't know me no more, no
That you don't know me no more, no
That you don't know me no more, no
That you don't know
And now all that I've learned is all I'm taking now with me
Never will I wait for too long again
You can take all old roses with you cause
I've got new gardens I must grow
Think I'm alone everyone is around
You think I'm home when I'm really out
Then you think I'm out when I'm really at home and it seems
That you don't know me no more
You think I'm alone when everyone's around
You think I'm home when I'm really out
Then you think I'm out but I'm at home and it seems
That you don't know me no more
And girl you can't hold me no more, cause I got places to go
And anywhere that I go I got people I know
I wanna see you everyday knocking at my door, but
First, I really gotta let you know that...
This is a troubled world that we live on
And the almighty creator put me on a mission
So you can walk with me on this path trough creation
And we can help each other reveal our visions
You think I'm alone but everyone's around
You think I'm home when I'm really out
You think I'm out but I'm really at home and it seems
Now it seems that you don't know me no more
Now it seems that you don't know me no more
Now it seems that you don't know me no more
Now it seems that you don't know me no more
But it seems that you don't know me no more
Oh it seems that you don't know me no more
And oh it seems that you don't know me no more
Oh it seems that you don't know me no more
That you don't know me no more
Now you don't know me no more
Now you don't know me no more
Now you don't know me no more
Think I'm alone, everyone is around
Desvendando You Dont Know Me' de SOJA: Um Relato de Desconexão e Autoconhecimento
A música 'You Don't Know Me', da banda SOJA (Soldiers of Jah Army), traz uma reflexão sobre a desconexão entre duas pessoas em um relacionamento. A letra aborda a sensação de não ser verdadeiramente compreendido pelo parceiro, destacando a importância de conhecer tanto o corpo quanto a mente de alguém para que o amor seja genuíno e completo. A banda, conhecida por suas canções de reggae com mensagens profundas e conscientes, utiliza essa faixa para expressar a frustração de estar com alguém que não entende suas necessidades e valores mais íntimos, como exemplificado na menção ao vegetarianismo do narrador.
O refrão da música ressalta a ideia de que as percepções da parceira sobre o narrador são equivocadas. Ela pensa que ele está sozinho quando está acompanhado, em casa quando está fora, e vice-versa. Essa inversão de expectativas sugere uma grande falha de comunicação e um sentimento de solidão emocional, mesmo quando fisicamente acompanhado. A repetição dessa ideia ao longo da música reforça o quão fundamental é o entendimento mútuo em um relacionamento.
Por fim, 'You Don't Know Me' também fala sobre crescimento pessoal e a necessidade de seguir em frente. O narrador menciona aprender com as experiências passadas e a importância de não esperar muito tempo por mudanças. Ele está pronto para seguir novos caminhos e cultivar 'novos jardins', uma metáfora para novos começos e oportunidades. A música termina com uma nota de esperança e determinação, convidando a parceira a se juntar a ele em uma jornada de autoconhecimento e realização, mas deixando claro que ele tem uma missão a cumprir, independentemente do relacionamento.
