Don’t Know Anymore Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
In the intro, the artist expresses how even when things are tough and emotions are overwhelming, he still feels a strong connection with someone he cares about deeply. Despite the passage of time, his feelings haven’t changed—he still loves this person and is not interested in anyone else. The old memories, symbolized by the old house and open windows, remind him of how deep his emotions run, even though he’s been through hardships.

[Verse]
The verse dives into Central Cee’s journey from struggle to success, and the emotional complexities that come with fame. He reflects on the hardships he faced growing up, like living in a poor household where things were tight, but he worked relentlessly to change his situation. He mentions the sacrifices made by his mother, who had to take care of her three boys in a time of financial hardship. Through these tough times, he had a strong sense of determination to break free from his circumstances, even if it meant making difficult decisions.

The mention of “snaking” refers to how he could sense betrayal coming from people around him, and now, even as he’s found fame, he has to be cautious. People want to know his whereabouts, and his girlfriend doesn’t trust him. His family needs him, and he’s in a position to support them financially. However, despite his ability to provide, there’s a sense of loneliness that comes with his newfound success, especially when he opens up to a therapist, only to realize they can’t truly understand his pain.

Central Cee admits that he’s been hurt by past relationships, especially with women, and although he’s trying to heal, it’s not an easy process. The line “What’s the point in life? I don’t know anymore” captures a moment of existential questioning. He acknowledges that his own actions, like dropping out of school, led him to where he is today. He reflects on how the people around him, like his friends, don’t know the weight he carries and how they’re there for the good times but not when things get tough.

He recalls moments of violence and trauma from his childhood, with the loss of his father and the pain of his grandfather being shot. He sees his younger brother trying to emulate gang culture, which makes him worry about repeating the cycle of hardship they’ve lived through. The verse also touches on the tough times he faced, like limited food and financial strain, making do with expired milk, and learning about life through influences like “The Wire.”

As the verse continues, Central Cee discusses the falseness he’s encountered—people who lied to him or were only around when he had something to offer. The line “Lost faith in God because I thought I was cursed” reveals a spiritual struggle he’s been through. Despite this, he still holds out hope for change, especially for his family, wondering if the people he loves will stand by him if things fall apart.

The verse touches on the stark reality of fame—how once he blew up, the promises he made to his friends didn’t always come true. Some of them even turned against him, blaming him for their own failures. He’s aware of how people’s greed and envy can ruin relationships, with a clear reference to betrayal (“move like Judas”). The reference to London as a place with “bare opportunity” highlights how he feels that even in a city full of chances, people still make bad decisions.

Central Cee also reflects on the irony of the situation: he used to be broke, but now with money comes more problems, and he’s had to navigate through deceit and betrayal. He reminisces about his past struggles, when he had only one pair of shoes, to now having everything he ever dreamed of. But despite the success, there’s always the fear of losing it all and the loneliness that comes with it.

In the latter part of the verse, Central Cee expresses frustration with people who don’t appreciate the sacrifices he’s made for them. Some friends, despite all he’s done for them, turned their backs on him. He highlights how important it is to remain loyal to those who have helped you, but unfortunately, loyalty isn’t always reciprocated. The verse ends with him reflecting on the loss of a close friend, wondering how different his journey would have been if they had stayed by his side. Ultimately, it’s a deep look into how fame and success come with a price, including emotional turmoil, the loss of relationships, and the harshness of realizing that not everyone is who they seem.

[Outro]
In the outro, Central Cee revisits the deep emotional connection he has with someone special. He reflects on how their bond has remained strong, even when life threw challenges their way. The song’s closing lyrics emphasize his constant feelings for this person, even though time has passed. His desire to keep this connection personal and exclusive is clear. He no longer wants anyone else in his life, showing how important this one relationship is to him, despite everything else that’s going on in his life.
