Yes, it's supposed to end like that for artistic purpose. It follows the storyline of the song and ends abruptly and unfinished just like the relationship and as predicted throughout. She knows and she out....he knew too! 🖤
@@odddevil9535 Exactly like the relationship after she finds out he cheated and lied about it. He knew she would leave too which is what he was afraid of throughout the song. The next song, Only Love, is what he’s going through after she left. It all makes sense including the abrupt unfinished ending of She Knows.
@@EmilPiano As far as I know it hasn’t been actually confirmed but it does make logical sense considering the lyrics of the song and the song that follows, Only Love, in which she has left him. I did see an interview where Josh said they left some imperfections on the album but even if this was one of them it had to be purposely left because it works with the theme. They are no longer some garage band making their first demo on their own, there is no way a mistake like that ending winds up on all streaming platforms, RUclips, the cd, etc., unless they wanted it there. They could’ve easily redone it if they wanted.
@@michaelchristy506josh confirmed himself that this song is actually about a simple breakup. I still think it’s about cheating, especially when you take a lyric like “I’m faithful I swear” into consideration. But perhaps it could mean that he’s lying about still loving her rather than cheating. I’m not sure! I think the song can have multiple meanings.
Listening to it in the dark and the whole atmosphere changes, suddenly getting chills in a good way. The melody is perfectly balanced with the vocals (which are a haunting in a melancholy way) This whole album is making me cry but mostly this song right here 💙
I still have a screen recording from December 2019 of Josh teasing this song because I fell in love with the like 8 seconds that I heard of it and it’s finally out!
The easy read is that this is about cheating, but there are subtle hints that it might be something else…unless saying he’s been faithful is also a lie. The song is hauntingly beautiful and unnerving in its mystery, especially with the abrupt end.
@@mikesullivan7911 Correct. I could relate 100% of his lyrics, and women's instinct it's always.... it's hard to explain.. but my wife recently told me that she knows everything.. she knows the truth.. she knows all my lies.. yet she kept it deep in her heart.. now, guess how I react as a person who's actually paranoid and afraid that she'll leave me.. I told her more lies.. there goes the confusion, after that last lie I told her.. She smiled.. She said, she's about to teach me a lesson.. It was 5 months ago after she kicked me out of the house.. Last week she texted, I'm going to have a second son this december.. She said that I might never change... so she knows, that I can't change.. Drugs..
I think its more about how he doesn't really love her but he doesn't want to be the one to leave out of guilt. She figures it out and is upset and he ends up feeling guilty anyway. I could be wrong but that's what i get from it.
Agreed! I think it would have been even better at the end of the record though. The silence that follows when I listen to it on here (Auto-play is off) makes it all the more haunting. Side note: I did think something was wrong with my album so that's how I came to be here haha
@Cassandra Lavalley awwww/; yeah i hsf to legit beg my mom and ask her help with the moneh ti pay it but maybe next time youll get to dang he lives in tenesse tho nashville craaaaazy tho
{LYRICS} She's crying I feel the tension's rising Inside I'm scheming Anything to stop her leaving Does she know my secret? Did someone leak it? Sometimes I get scared But I'm faithful, I swear I've made mistakes But I know I can change Still I lay awake 'Cause I lied to her face Does she know? Does she know? We made up She still put on her makeup And we go out dancing She doesn't smile or call me handsome She gives me silence Her energy like violence She loves me truly But she looks right through me I've made mistakes But I know I can change Still I lay awake 'Cause I lied to her face Does she know? Does she know? And I wonder How long I'll keep this from her I hate these secrets But as long as she believes it We'll stay happy and together I can't lie forever I've made mistakes And she knows I can't change All the truths I've faked When she cried I caved Now she knows Now she knows Now she knows Now she knows She knows, oh Now she knows Now she knows Now she knows Now she knows Now she knows Source: Musixmatch
This song gives me such late 90's, early 2000's vibes. Also feels like a song that would play in a movie, either at the sad part or as we go into the credits.
i just listened to the whole album on spotify, and this one is so beautiful, the song that i most played for the moment (3 times hahah, and im going for more)
Why does the song end so abruptly tho. That confuses me immensely. I came here cuz I thought Spotify made a mistake but it appears that it ends that way on purpose. Still an amazing song tho🥲❤️
Apparently it's on the cd too therefore even if it was originally a mistake it was definitely kept for artistic purpose. It follows the storyline of the relationship and ends abruptly and unfinished as predicted in the song. She knows and she out....he knew too! 🖤
I’ve been listening to them since I heard ghost on octane radio waited for their new album and did the exact same thing I did last night stay up and listen to the whole thing they never disappoint. This song especially I can’t say how much I needed this album right now this song I’m so in love with this band and how they keep touching my heart
It's refreshing to hear a more traditional guitar and a guitar solo in modern music. It seems music is moving away from guitars lately and more towards synths and electronic sounds.
I hear in an interview that “OK, I’m Sick” was about the victim, and “This Is How The World Ends” is about the villain. Obviously doesn’t apply to every song but yea, that was intentional.
this comment is gonna be so long but i really love this song and the lyrics and the morbid beauty of it all cw// mentions of relapse and suicide the more i listen to this, the more i think it's about relapse into some sort of addiction rather than cheating. the "i'm faithful i swear" line supports this in my opinion. i think it's from the perspective of someone who had been clean for a while and perhaps had promised their partner that they'd keep it that way but things get bad. they relapse but don't tell her. slowly more and more people find out. but they still don't tell her because they don't want to see her hurt. they need to see her happy. they need her to stay. without her they feel worthless. things are so far gone that they feel it'd be worse to tell her now because it'd only hurt more, knowing they'd kept it from her for so long as someone who's been in both positions multiple times i know how much it hurts for both, every time. the pressure of making promises when you don't know you can't keep them. the guilt when things start to go wrong. the pain of knowing the truth but not wanting to face up to it because then it'd be really true the way it builds up before it all gets loud when josh sings "when she cried, i caved" hits so damn hard and i think really shows the emotional torment for both characters and the toll it's taken on them both, probably without them realising with the abrupt ending, i think it's possible that that could be the moment where the speaker ends their life because it's all too much and they can't cope with it and they're realising just what they've done. i haven't got as much evidence to support that but i feel like it's a reasonable explanation, other than the band just wanting it like that the song is the speaker realising and breaking down, the repetitiveness of the chorus is like them crying out. the way the guitar builds and builds and then lets loose in the solo could be like their tears. the wail during the solo would be literally the speaker screaming in despair this is all just my theories but i think i'm probably not far off. i love how straight up the song is whilst simultaneously leaving it up for interpretation. badflower are a phenomenal band with such raw and moving songs, the likes of which i've never heard before, easily one of the best bands on the scene right now. i cannot wait to see them support palaye royale next year :) if you've read this far then thank you for reading my mini essay and i hope you're doing ok
I appreciate your perspective so much, this is something that hits close to home and yet I would have never have had this thought on my own. This is the kind of authenticity that brings back my faith in humanity
judging by how the video ends i think it is intentional, which kinda sucks because i love the entire song besides that part. hopefully they release an extended version of it some time (or even just edit it to fade out) because it sorta feels unfinished like this
@@クリス-u2g well it could be they edited it wrong and just put the song out universally like that. It just doesn't seem like something they would do on purpose
It is the same on their CD, it may symbolize the abrupt way the relationship ends bc she knows. Josh knows what he’s doing. He is very intentional he always says.
does anyone have a tab for the solo? (3:35-4:00) i've found chords but have yet to find a tab or sheet music for the it. i think i'll just wind up transcribing it myself so if you see this and want the tab when it's finished just reply to this comment!
Everyone complaining about the unexpected ending, but once I figured out it wasn't a glitch, I thought it was brilliant. My solution to it was to put it on repeat. A truly timeless song! I always joke that I wouldn't know which Badflower to commit suicide to, as they have so many good choices to choose from, and I'm glad that, even though this song is melancholy, it's not one I'd say fuck it all to.
Who TF are these malcontents who come here just to down vote a track? Why? Is you life that much worse after playing this track, or is your personal opinion of this song so profound you have to share it with the world?

it ends abruptly and the next song on the album starts with "calm down"

Is that your assumption or was it confirmed by the band? I really wish it faded out when the song abruptly ends

@@EmilPiano oh just my assumption
All of Badflower's songs are so relatable and deep
Yeah especially stalker! 💀
badflower has so many relatable songs.... but if this song is relatable to you i think you need to learn how to not cheat my guy
This is so good but you must hear “Winding Road” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🐺

The " I caved" and the " Now she knows" hits so hard wtf
The feeling I get from these reminds me of MCR
Oh true ty for thus
Not at all
Do i even have to say it:(((
Mother mary on spotify pls🙏
PLEAAAAASE
This album is so damn pure in everything. Badflower you are the literal best. I wish to meet you one day
Theyre on tour

They are great on tour! Just saw them in New Haven
God his voice is so freakin' beautiful and emotional
If this isn’t a hit, I don’t know what a “hit” is anymore. 🤷🏼♂️
{LYRICS}
She's crying
I feel the tension's rising
Inside I'm scheming
Anything to stop her leaving
Does she know my secret?
Did someone leak it?
Sometimes I get scared
But I'm faithful, I swear
I've made mistakes
But I know I can change
Still I lay awake
'Cause I lied to her face
Does she know?
Does she know?
We made up
She still put on her makeup
And we go out dancing
She doesn't smile or call me handsome
She gives me silence
Her energy like violence
She loves me truly
But she looks right through me
I've made mistakes
But I know I can change
Still I lay awake
'Cause I lied to her face
Does she know?
Does she know?
And I wonder
How long I'll keep this from her
I hate these secrets
But as long as she believes it
We'll stay happy and together
I can't lie forever
I've made mistakes
And she knows I can't change
All the truths I've faked
When she cried
I caved
Now she knows
Now she knows
Now she knows
Now she knows
She knows, oh
Now she knows
Now she knows
Now she knows
Now she knows
Now she knows

@@floatingFran I hope we have more badflower fans in Uruguay, we have a mission to do hahaha buena noche hermano 😊
IDK What to say... all the songs are so good.. and they all wanna make me hug someone!!!
The rawness makes my skin crawl... The pure emotion is amazingly bittersweet..
Josh your voice is angelic but you can switch that in a heartbeat it's amazing. This album is amazing you guys are all incredible
Why does the song end so abruptly tho. That confuses me immensely. I came here cuz I thought Spotify made a mistake but it appears that it ends that way on purpose. Still an amazing song tho🥲❤️
yeah it confused me too
My thoughts exactly!
SAME i thought the app had shut down or something bc it does that to me a lot
Glad I’m not the only one. I almost reported it to Spotify 😂
Apparently it's on the cd too therefore even if it was originally a mistake it was definitely kept for artistic purpose. It follows the storyline of the relationship and ends abruptly and unfinished as predicted in the song. She knows and she out....he knew too! 🖤

Hello fellow octane listener 😁 but same
Same my family sucks and I cried the first time I heard family
She knows. She’ll always know. Great song!
4:26 the lead guitar here gives me I don't love you - MCR vibes
I have this song on repeat!!! This is honestly an instant classic on my library ! Thank you for this gem .
You guys make me feel alive. Dont stop. Your on the right track. Grettings from Argentina. Me and my best friend(ex girlfriend) love you so much.
These guys are awesome. I'm glad I found them yesterday. I've been missing out all along.
4:16 gets me every time. It’s so beautiful! That note. Them cords. 😫👌
This is so good but you must hear “Winding Road” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🎸🎧
Seeing this was the best part of my shitty day. Thanks for posting.
I hope tomorrow would be better❤
I'm not crying you're crying
Loving this group. Never fails to impress
This is so good but you must hear “Winding Road” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🎸🎧
Esta canción se ganó mi corazón completico.
It's refreshing to hear a more traditional guitar and a guitar solo in modern music. It seems music is moving away from guitars lately and more towards synths and electronic sounds.
loving all the new songs
This is so perfect, just the vocals and the instrumentals it's very yes, I love it!
The ending of this song is so Andy Kaufman! I don't even know what to do every time it suddenly stops: should I laugh or should I cry, or both?
Underrated gem. 🫶
the way it ends...:) "unsatisfyingly" satisfying
This is so good but you must hear “Winding Road” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🎸
I'm addicted to this damn song!!!!
3:34 the guitar solo is so good, kinda reminds me of my chem :)
This is so good but you must hear “Winding Road” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🎸🎧
Is the end supposed to cut off like that? It's like that on Spotify too!
Same question. Sounds not like something conceptual, but a total mess up.
Hope will fix it or it's really weird to make it on purpose
I’m pretty sure it’s a mistake. (I really hope it is)
Yeah it's so weird. It threw off my vibe 😂
I hope this is not the case on the CD. Unfortunately, this is also the case with Spotify.
I was thinking the same thing I kept replaying the end to make sure it wasn’t just me
" She believes in you still!" I need to have this kind of energy for myself.
This is so good but you must hear “Winding Road” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🐺
His voice is slap 😩
Listening to this more, I don't think it's about cheating. Such a beautiful and sad song
My take is it could be about relapse
@@BlazingLines73 YES EXACTLY
Lyrical and artistic genius
Listening on 1.25 speed is pretty awesome.
wait this actually gives it a panicky vibe
Omg I love this
This hurts my soul and I LOVE IT
I’ve been with someone 11 years. I lost her today. This song hits so hard
💔
This is so good but you must hear “Winding Road” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🐺
If you want to know a song more relatable to you listen to promise me (also badflower)
This song breaks my heart
a lot of their songs have this lil undercurrent of knowing you've done something wrong (Johnny wants to fight, mother mary)
I hear in an interview that “OK, I’m Sick” was about the victim, and “This Is How The World Ends” is about the villain. Obviously doesn’t apply to every song but yea, that was intentional.
Great fucking song cant play it infront of my girl otherwise shell be hella thinking shit 😂😭😭
i don’t understand is the brutal stop at the end on purpose ?
I believe it's to symbolize how abrupty she cuts off the relationship after finding out the truth (his drug use).
@@SolarStarseed oh yeah well thought!
this comment is gonna be so long but i really love this song and the lyrics and the morbid beauty of it all
cw// mentions of relapse and suicide
the more i listen to this, the more i think it's about relapse into some sort of addiction rather than cheating. the "i'm faithful i swear" line supports this in my opinion. i think it's from the perspective of someone who had been clean for a while and perhaps had promised their partner that they'd keep it that way
