Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Decaying friendships almost died
And hide behind a mask of lies
We twist and turn and we avoid
All hope and salvage now devoid
I see the truth behind your eyes
So take all this noise to your brain
And send it back again
You up and then...
I'll say the words out loud
You could resurrect a thousand
Words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the
Reasons why I don't need you
Anymore
Time manipulates your heart,
Preconceptions torn apart
Begin to doubt my state of mind
But I won't go down on what I said
I won't retract convictions read
I may perplex, but I'm not blind
So take all this noise to your brain
Send it back again
I'll bear the cost shed my skin,
Call you up and then
I'll say the words out loud
You could resurrect a thousand
Words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the
Reasons why I don't need
You anymore
I'll say the words out loud. I'll say
A thousand words or more
Manipulation. Fabricaton.
Conversation. Annihalation.
I'll say a thousand words or more
Domination. Frustration. Elevation.
Procreation.
I'll say a thousand words our more
You could resurrect a thousand
Words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the
Reasons why I don't need you anymore
The lyrics of "A Thousand Words" by Savage Garden narrate the struggles in a decaying friendship where lies and deceit have become the norm. The singer acknowledges the twisted nature of their relationship, where hope and salvage have depleted. Nonetheless, they see through the mask of lies and speak out loud, despite the fear of not being understood or believed. They refuse to retract their convictions and hope their honesty will shed light on the true nature of their relationship. They acknowledge that words can be manipulated and used to deceive, but they won't fall for it anymore. They have reached the point of letting go, and the thousand words that once gave reasons to hold on, are no longer enough to justify the betrayal and hurt.
The lyrics of "A Thousand Words" are a reflection of the complexities of human emotions and relationships. The song speaks of the pain of losing someone you once thought you needed and the fear of being misunderstood or deceived. It also portrays the strength of character required to face the truth, acknowledge the deception and move on.

I remember watching this movie when I was very young and all I could remember was when I cried at the ending because of how deep and emotionally connected it made me feel.
Noah Lessner
I have a fond memory of watching this movie with my mom in theaters and at the end I felt all the emotions

I don't know why but this movie hit me different as a child. Now I'm at where I'm at in life due to the lessons it taught me.
Blake Danielle
That was beautiful

For everyone who thinks he could just 'write down' words in the movie, he can't because the tree knows when he has, so it counts as words :)
Nytro Bros.
@Silver Eagle Studios rewatch the movie. It counts. Even giving the middle finger counted as 2 words.
The LegendHimself
@william vargas the tree would probably still count that lol it doesn't really matter the tree literally dropped a leaf because he gave it a middle finger
The LegendHimself
@Silver Eagle Studios umm there is literally a scene in the movie when he was trying to write a note for his wife and every word he wrote a leaf would fall
B Sheppard
@MAGICMUSHI Ha! Right?! Counted for two! But there was a scene where he was writing and the leaves were falling off.
MAGICMUSHI
Pretty sure that could count I mean it counted when he flipped it off
