Silversun Pickups - It Doesn't Matter Why Lyrics






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

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

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

Should you stay or go
Go
Feeling like you're on your own
Unknown
Will we ever leave you alone
No
And 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

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

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

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

  50. P.... P....

    This music video is much better with eyes closed :D

  51. J.... P....

    Here from NHL 20! Nice sound 👍

  52. M.... C....

    I've been with them this band since the very beginning. Not Lazy Eye beginning, Carnavas beginning. Not many of us have, and I commend you on your excellent taste in music, I really agree with all the comments about his voice and the band continually getting better! Their sound keeps evolving and changing, unlike so many other bands who just repeat whatever worked for them in the past. And yes they are progressively
    expanding into deeper realms of the universe...

  53. J.... R....

    Absolutely amazing! I love how their sound is constantly evolving and changing, each album just gets better and better <3

  54. M.... K....

    It doesn't matter why, we're known

  55. U.... L....

    Interpretation

    At first I thought it was just a stylised weird choreographed video but after many watches I’ve realised It actually syncs surprisingly well with the lyrical themes.

    The lyrics primarily concern themselves with the idea of disconnection in modern social connections. Perhaps Alluding to social media- continuing the theme from their earlier song “Connection” (from Better Nature).

    Social media has kinda given us this view into other people’s lives while making us feel more alone:
    “Feeling like you’re on your own - oh no”
    “Is it greener on the other side? - No”
    “will it help you sleep at night? -it won’t”
    “It doesn’t matter why we’re known, we’re just known”

    Ie. everyone is known to everyone but nobody truly connects with one and other.

    The people start out opening their eyes and then try to connect with one and other, poking each other or attempting to embrace.

    There’s also others on their own trying to move freely and finding themselves stuck, moving rigidly at the start in an uncomfortable way.

    ^ This movement is quite metaphoric of how we move through life, trying to form meaningful connections when technology creates uncomfortable barriers.

    Some stare at their own hands, as if trying to make sense of themselves.

    Towards the end with the lyrics

    “And if it all goes right, you’ll see in our eyes”

    We see people starting to transcend the disconnection: with smiles, fun dances and embraces made between people. This is a nice kind of watershed moment.

    “Your on your own, and in your eyes - you finally see we’ve all gone blind!”
    “Have we all gone blind?”

    Then as this bridge ends we see some people blink as if they have realised some truth or reset their approach to how to connect ... while others lapse or remain disconnect from one and other, seemingly entranced.

    As the song ends Brian puts his hand to his chest, a sort of way to say he hopes we take to heart the message.

  56. 1.... ....

    Only song I can stand on NHL 20

  57. S.... B....

    Love the way they build their songs up..constantly getting bigger as the song goes on. Unreal band!

  58. T.... M....

    It looks like there's a Spencer Moore (Dan Decker in A.P. Bio) sighting in this music video and no one has mentioned it. What a shame.

  60. m.... ....

    R.... M....

    It's a cross between going into a session with the bag, writing code, playing the drums, and planting flowers. I can dig it.

  69. M.... ....

    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

    You want to 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
    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

    Should you stay or go?
    Go!

    Felling 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
    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

    And if it all goes right
    Seen in your eyes
    Finally made it out alive
    Will you wait for a sign?
    Still do have some piece of mind
    Wait!
    You let your love go
    And in your eyes
    We finally see we've all been blind
    And we've all gone blind
    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

  91. M.... S....

    2019 everyone, where people dance like they’re having seizers while at the same time high as fuck, as well as lyrics that make hardly any sense and makes it feel like this song is on repeat. It’s not gonna matter why they’re know because no one will really remember this song.

  92. J.... O....

    Amazing!!!
