Clark, Dodie - Not What I Meant Lyrics
Let's find out just how far I'll go
To look like someone you should know
Maybe I'd sound a little better
If my features were more sweet
Your mind's already been made up
I'll write a little better
If I'm willing to compete
I'll do it if I have to
Hoping for an inbetween
Not what I meant when I said that I
I wanted to be seen
How am I meant to stay on track
When each hand I shake will pull me back
But walk a little less
And in the end will I feel proud
That I grit my teeth, and followed the damn crowd
Will I have grown a little empire
Or made a fucking mess
I'll do it if I have to
Hoping for an inbetween
Not what I meant when I said that I
I wanted to be seen
I'll do it if I have to
(I'll keep it to myself)
Hoping for an inbetween
(I must have seen that somewhere)
Not what I meant when I said that I
I wanted to be seen

Clark, Dodie Not What I Meant Comments
i remember dodie and dom singing this :))
she's so amazing💕
giving me those Dear Evan Hansen vibes
i've just posted a cover of this awesome song. it would mean the world to me if you could check it out :)
Someone should make an hour version of this
Everytime I hear this song, I cry
I came here after a quiz
Absolutely fucking crazy that over a year has passed since Human was released
This song wouldn’t be complete if Lewis wasn’t in it 💛
this reminds me of the movie Bolt
Dodie: You’re minds already been made up
E Girls: *start draw numbers on their heads*
I love this song!
This song makes me so safe
I love the music you make, this song is one of my favorites since it makes me be more confident than before.
If you're reading this just know that you're amazing, no matter what anybody tells you go forward, do your best and always know that some people may not like you but there are people who know that you're perfect
Irs kind of annoying that tik tok has ruined dodies songs but like its good that here music is getting more recognition from tik tok idk
🥺💎
I need that bit where Lewis just belts it injected into my fucking veins
If you knew this song before TikTok V
it's so good but also so short, aaaaaa
The perfect song doesn't exi-
I’m from tik tokkkkkk
*Have a 1 in her front and put a 0 to a side*
am i the only one that thinks that this song sounds similar to like to be you by shawn mendes
elektra who yes 😂😂😂 I just listened to it, were you high?
È molto bella 😞❤
This song kinda sounds like " hate me today by blue october" like the beat and the singing a little
Mano q musica incrível, ela dá uma tranquilidade
this was Never Meant to be a bad song
This is like Afghanistan song in I show it to my dad he liked
hello tiktok
BR aqui. marquei território ;()
I’m so happy tik tok is bringing more people to her.
Every human needs a Dodie in their life :)
don’t mind this comment 0:22
Can i use song in a musical
Tik Tok alguém ?? KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
@Gustavo Henrique ??
Who is hear after the tic tok thing I love this song
ChunkyPigLord If you ever call TikToks heartfelt again I am gonna report you for harassment.
Please don't comment these things. y'all it is annoying.
ChunkyPigLord bro, you’re really wise. You speak very thoughtfully and beautifully. You’re gonna go far if you keep it up like that✨
@Jimin’s Kookies yes I know I’m just looked up the song after hearing on tic tok
@Imogene Weiss I agree with this
I’m o so this song is becoming big on TikTok.
And as a person that knew this song and loved it before that happened let me just say that it’s a good thing and we shouldn’t be angry more people are getting exposed to dodie’s lovely music
I'm honestly fine with it. but, you gotta admit, every comment being "here from tiktok" is super annoying.
Hey tiktok kids how ya doing
im from tiktok
Thank you tiktok
I came from tik tok but Iv’e found my new favorite artists, these songs are so frickin good👌😳🥰
TikTok made this song more popular $)
i love dodies music so much. its so beautiful and her voice is really calming
This song is really beautiful
I love you music so much. They help me clam down, just like chill. Be able to lay in bed listening.
here from tiktok, tiktok has actually exposed me to some good music
Hehe, we stan Falsettos
Ikr. God this song is incredible. I could see an amazing remix of this soon.
Lol same
Fia The Activist Same, love all these new songs!
Welcome welcome, everyone is really nice here so make yourself comfortable :D
Probably my favorite dodie song (in the middle is a very close second)
This song is perfect for Jesy Nelson’s ‘odd one out’ documentary
Dodie if you’re reading, is the planning of Lewis’s voice right and yours left so we feel like we’re the mediator listening to two sides of the same story?
my two favorite people
Realising that this is Bitter Content which you did with Dom is the best thing I could remember.
I really like this version, but I still think the original was better.
This song takes my mood amplifies it fivefold. If I’m in a good mood, this song puts me in a great mood. If I’m feeling just a little down, this song makes me sob. I just love it in all aspects.
Also unpopular opinion but I think this version is better than the original 🤭
I can literally listen to this song on repeat all night
Sometimes my best friend and I sit on my roof and watch cars go by while listening to Dodie..those times really make me happy.
This song melts my heart every time
This sounds like a song that would play during the montage of a movie where the protagonist is getting their life back on track
ikr, or like a montage of memories or a song that would play during a couple dancing alone with like pretty lighting and stuff
Yeah it does!!
Mind if I take this idea?
god i don’t know why but this song hurts me. it just kinda hits me in all the right places
“You saw my # and my # wasn’t good enough” reminds me of grades, I have bad test anxiety where I’ll cry before every test, and people made fun of me for it. “I wanted people to notice me, but they did in all the wrong ways. “Not what I meant when I said that I wanted to be seen” I wanted people would be to notice me last year, but most of the time nobody did. When they did it was my Bible teacher yelling at me for not playing attention and have everyone stare at me and laugh bc I would be drawing on my paper(I’m getting tested for ADD which could be the reason I is why I couldn’t pay attention) . It was so bad that right after I’ll go to the bathroom and cry, this happened 3 times a day. I wish I knew about this song last year it would have helped me a lot... also frick you Mr. Curtis for making me lose all of myself esteem.
if you get diagnosed, try visiting ADHD-Alien on Tumblr. Pina, the artist, does an amazing job of illustrating the symptoms of ADHD and all the aspects of it.
i have anxiety and adhd and all understand everything you’re saying. we have many years of school left thats for sure but we’ll do this together. you’re strong. yes, frick mr. curtis bro :)
ooh he exposed
also, i do hope you are doing much better than before, just remember that people are there for you
Mr. Curtis
I was listening to this very good song when my headphones died
gosh dangit
The intro to this sounds like the beginning of a Granger Danger from AVPM and let me tell you that shook me when I first heard it.
Song: Will I have grown a little empire Or made a fucking mess
- this is litterally me when playing Dragon Age Inquisition
I have no idea why I get such strong animal crossing vibes from the music of this song, completely unrelated to the lyrics (unless you count 'grown a little empire or made a fucking mess') Didn't know if anyone else did 🌳🌸
I've listened to nothing but the songs on this EP for a week now and I'm still in love. Dodie you're such an amazing human💫✨
No life form in this wide universe can say this song doesn’t belong in a dodie musical.
Heck- her whole human EP should be a musical.
😭🧡🌻
yello sno for tea she definitely needs her own musical
I think this is my favourite song of yours on the ep. and if i'm being honest. and human and monster and oh well .. all of them!
I tried to cover this on my channel, if anyone is interested in checking it out :) https://youtu.be/WRtqPCnGBEo
This is perhaps my favourite off the new EP.
this is such an amazing song. I'm gonna go cry forever now. okay, let me take this moment to appreciate you, and how much of a talented singer you are. YOUR'E SO GLORIOUS IM GONNA FAINT. JDHWEKFHewlfhwerkwgeriwehwueohweiug. my wig has been snatched sister.
i know it’s annoying but we did a cover of this on our channel and it would mean a lot if you checked it out! :)))
i've just been listening on repeat starting from 0:55 . pretty sure half of these views are from me lmao
i keep seeing this little duckling running determinedly after a pack of dogs, becoming frustrated when they are faster and rougher than her, but then managing to take a shortcut through the water. she stands on a lilypad for a moment and thinks she's found her place, but below the water lurk tens of enormous fish, watching her hungrily. she makes it back to shore, bedraggled, and stands before the pack of dogs, soaking wet, shaken, and still determined to be her best.
im just SO inspired. this song is so beautiful and proud and persistent. Lewis's voice, as well, is so smooth and warm, like he's wrapping up the little duckling in a blanket, boosting her up, encouraging her forward.
this is my absolute favorite comment ever. you summed up my emotions while listening to this song in such such an impeccable manner!!
reading this comment while listening to the song is an EXPERIENCE
OK so like 1. I'm the 69th like on this comment. Nice. 2. I'm gonna draw this comment and Im gonna make sure it's the best, so like tell me a way to contact you and Ill work on it for the next couple weeks/months
Everything about this whole EP is absolutely perfect
Great song dodie, you did it again.
Let's find out just how far I'll go
To look like someone you should know
Maybe I'd sound a little better
If my features were more sweet
Your mind's already been made up
You saw my number and my number wasn't good enough
I'll write a little better
If I'm willing to compete
I'll do it if I have to
Hoping for an inbetween
Not what I meant when I said that I
I wanted to be seen
How am I meant to stay on track
When each hand I shake will pull me back
Oh I'll work a little harder
But walk a little less
And in the end will I feel proud
That I grit my teeth, and followed the damn crowd
Will I have grown a little empire
Or made a fucking mess
I'll do it if I have to
Hoping for an in-between
Not what I meant when I said that I
I wanted to be seen
I'll do it if I have to
(I'll keep it to myself)
Hoping for an in-between
(I must have seen that somewhere)
Not what I meant when I said that I
I wanted to be seen
"and in the end will i feel proud? that i grit my teeth and followed the damn crowd, will i have grown a little empire or made a fucking mess?"
my favorite lyric by dodie probably ever
True one of her best
I felt this too hard
I personally think Dom fera was better. but hey Lewis is good. then again I prefer the originals of a couple of these songs in the new ep. still a great so tho. I love how it follows how life actually is.
I like how with Dom's version of "Oh, I must have seen it somewhere" he has a softer approach, with the little crescendos, but I also adore Lewis's version where he has that absolutely stunning belt. They both have their little touches, and I love it! I find that I'll listen to different versions depending on my mood :)
SO GOOD!!!!!!! <3
I'm so fucking sad
Lewis Watson makes my little middle school/freshman heart burst.
OW OW OW OW OW
This is so fucking beautiful like damn
I really like this song, but wasn’t it originally called Bitter Content?
The video from last year with Dom Fera says "Not What I Meant (Bitter Content)" so... both!
dodie said that Bitter Content was just a placeholder name for this song but it is the same song
I’m so fucking happy she made this song a part of her album it was one of my favorites
I feel like I've heard this song before, like before it came out. Idk it just sounds really familiar lol
Dodie first posted it on her channel a year ago, but Dom Fera was singing with her and it wasn't a studio version (there was only a keyboard, no other instruments) :)
@Tima Br oh, thank you :)
Kawaii Kayla same, and I’ve never seen the original video.
how was this already uploaded in august last year
They probably uploaded it right after it was recorded but it wasn't made public so we couldn't see it
@Tima Br ah that makes sense, thanks!
I’m obsessed
You will have made a f*cking beautiful mess
Only 20 comments?
Ah Epic! Literally I always turn your tunes up when I feel down, it makes me feel better. Thank you
oh i thought this was a new song oof
My therapist let’s me listen to music during our meetings, and Dodie is now her favorite (along with cavetown, but who doesn’t love cavetown?) she always ask me what the names of the songs are. I’m really excited to show her this new music. My mom also loves her music. Basically I make everyone in my life listen to Dodie because they all need her in their life.
Yes I love Cavetown!!!!!
@Schizo Gambino cavetown* he's amazing
CAVETOWNN
I show mine music all the time. He's a legend. I love you Phil man the only person in this world who actually fucking understands me.
💞💞Cavetown💛💞💞
OKAY A- THIS IS SOME VERY GOOD SHIT AND B- SIMULTANEOUS SAMMY STEVENS AND JAY GATSBY VIBES
This song sounds like it should be in a Disney movie. It’s so sweet sounding.
Dumbass Twink_uwu IKR 😍
Rachel the Kiwi yep 😂
Minus the swearing parts then yeah
Rachel the Kiwi well, old Disney movies cuss. Like a lot
Arthur let’s take the cussing out tho
Omgg this is so good!! ❤️
This is beautiful?
I love every little note😍🎶

Spacing Out Its not “don’t know what i meant” its “not what i meant”
Thanks ^^
I'm in *l o v e*
This is *b e a u t i f u l*
Dodie...this is beautiful?????????? help I love this I'm in love ah
Why is there so little views what
Most people listened on Spotify and stuff, also it's not the first thing you see when you click on her channel, like I had to scroll for a bit when I searched this song so it's not the easiest thing to find on YouTube
Kind of wish it was with Dom but still love this
N. J. Saroff same but I love Lewis too :)
same same i love that kid
Lewis feels like he's shadowing Dodie, Dom feels like he's intertwining and harmonising a little
OooooOoO
