Song About It

Kings Of Convenience's song "Song About It" delves into the multifaceted nature of emotions, particularly focusing on love and its various manifestations. The lyrics explore a wide range of emotional responses, from talking and dreaming about it to worrying and lying about it. This spectrum of reactions highlights the complexity and depth of human emotions, suggesting that love and feelings are not straightforward but rather intricate and multifaceted.

The recurring lines, "Who's to say what's right or what's wrong? All we know is that the feelings are strong," emphasize the subjective nature of emotions. The song suggests that there is no absolute right or wrong when it comes to feelings; it all depends on one's perspective. This relativity is further underscored by the line, "It all depends which side you are on," indicating that emotions and their interpretations can vary greatly depending on individual experiences and viewpoints.

The song also touches on the inevitability and permanence of emotional knowledge. Once we experience and understand certain feelings, it becomes impossible to erase or un-know them. This is poignantly expressed in the lines, "And now we got to know it, how can we erase? How can we un-know it?" The song acknowledges the lasting impact of love and emotions, even when they bring pain or discomfort. The final lines, "Although it may upset you, you chose me just as much, And I should just forget you, no," reflect the struggle of moving on from a significant emotional connection, highlighting the enduring nature of love and its complexities.
