Seems like this song is just about the musical group themselves… Wonder if they’re not alone sometimes because they are rockstars? They are alone sometimes, etcetera. Basically, being famous is not what it’s all about.
[Verse 1]
You hear us come and go, we know
You wonder if we're not alone, we're alone
You think about us all the time, don't
Because it doesn't matter why we're known
We're just known, we're just known
[Verse 2]
You wanna read our minds, we know
Is it better on the other side? No
Will it help you sleep at night? It won't
And it doesn't matter why we're known
We're just known
[Chorus]
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known, we're just known
[Verse 3]
Should you stay or go? Go
Feeling like you're on your own, oh no
Will we ever leave you alone? No
And it doesn't matter why we're known, we're just known
[Chorus]
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known, we're just known
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known, we're just known
[Bridge]
And if it all goes right, you'll see in our eyes
We've finally made it out alive
Will you wait for a sign?
It's time to have some peace of mind, wait
You're on your own and in your eyes
You finally see we've all gone blind
Have we all gone blind?
[Outro]
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known, we're just known
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known, we're just known
