Don't Know What To do

Ric Segreto's song 'Don't Know What To Do' delves into the emotional turmoil of unspoken love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has harbored deep feelings for someone but has only ever expressed this love internally. The opening lines, 'I have loved you only in my mind,' set the stage for a narrative of unrequited love and the internal conflict that comes with it. The protagonist is a 'hopeless romantic,' someone who falls in and out of love easily, yet struggles to articulate their feelings when it truly matters.

The chorus captures the essence of this emotional struggle. The repeated lines, 'Don't know what to do whenever you are near / Don't know what to say, my heart is floating in tears,' highlight the overwhelming nature of these emotions. The imagery of a heart 'floating in tears' suggests a sense of helplessness and vulnerability. The protagonist dreams of the object of their affection 'every minute, every second of the day,' indicating an all-consuming love that affects their every thought and action.

The song also touches on the hope and persistence that often accompany unrequited love. Despite the struggle to find the right words, the protagonist remains optimistic, believing that 'someday you'll feel / This feeling I have for you inside.' This hope is a testament to the enduring nature of love, even when it is not reciprocated. The repetition of 'all the time' at the end of the song emphasizes the constancy of these feelings, suggesting that love, even when unspoken, is a persistent and powerful force in the protagonist's life.
