Everyone Knows

Cafuné's song 'Everyone Knows' delves into the complexities of facing uncomfortable truths and the inevitability of being held accountable for one's actions. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone trying to evade responsibility, only to find that the truth is inescapable. The opening lines, 'When I can walk I walk so slowly / You think we should talk but I don't have anything to say,' suggest a reluctance to confront issues head-on, preferring instead to avoid difficult conversations.

The chorus, 'Everyone knows what really happened and you can't erase it,' serves as a stark reminder that no matter how much one tries to hide or distort the truth, it will eventually come to light. This theme is further emphasized with lines like 'Go run and try to hide it under your misinformation,' highlighting the futility of trying to cover up one's actions with lies or excuses. The song also touches on the emotional toll of living with deceit, as seen in the lines 'Learning to walk with hurt and burned feet / Plan for a tough year, living dirt cheap,' suggesting that the consequences of dishonesty are both painful and long-lasting.

The song's bridge, 'Back up into your corner / Lay your defenses down to die / Do you want to go a martyr / Nobody knows when it's their time,' adds another layer of complexity by questioning whether it's worth sacrificing oneself for a lie. The repeated imagery of being cornered and the inevitability of facing the truth creates a sense of urgency and inevitability. The song concludes with a sense of resignation and a call to 'cut me loose,' indicating a desire to break free from the cycle of deceit and face the future with honesty.
