The song "Should Have Known" by Bows tells the story of someone who has been unfairly locked up and betrayed by someone they trusted. The lyrics reflect feelings of fear, confusion, and a sense of being wronged. The protagonist pleads to be let out, promising not to speak out or cause trouble. Despite their best efforts to keep their head down and go along with the situation, they ultimately realize they should have known better than to trust the person who betrayed them. The song captures the emotions of betrayal, injustice, and resignation to a difficult situation.
