Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you did to me
I don't even say goodbye
Runnin backwards
To the old house
Don't you wanna say goodbye
Won't you ever see
I don't even say goodbye
Runnin backwards
To the old house
Don't you wanna say goodbye
Call the secondhand
I believe in him
The rest is all thats left
Fire open wide
At the same time
The best is all thats left
Gone outside
I'm already outside your rights
Correct my wrongs
Collect my rights
The rest
You said
Is just
To pen
A joke
Arrest
Again
Its done
My rights
The rest
You said
Is just
To pen
A joke
The rest
Again
Is done
Gone outside
Im already outside your rights
Correct
My wrongs
Collect
My rights
The rest
You said
Is just
To pen
A joke
The rest
Again
Is done
The lyrics of 0fret's song "Say" seem to narrate the singer's pain and frustration in a toxic relationship. The first stanza of the song describes a situation where the singer feels like they were not given a proper closure or goodbye after an emotionally draining experience. The line "running backwards to the old house, don't you wanna say goodbye" depicts a sense of needing closure and wanting their partner to acknowledge the hurtful things they did.
In the second stanza, the singer seems to indicate that they have sought external help from a "secondhand" person, perhaps a therapist or a friend. This person helps the singer acknowledge the damage done and what's left for them to deal with. The lines "fire open wide, at the same time the best is all that's left" possibly suggest that the singer has reached rock bottom and all that's left for them is to rebuild themselves with only the best they have.
The third and final stanza show the singer taking control of their situation, reclaiming their rights, and correcting their mistakes. The lines "gone outside, I'm already outside your rights, correct my wrongs, and collect my rights" illustrate how the singer has been a victim in this relationship and is now seeking to right the wrongs done to them.

I literally went through the exact same thing, I had to pull out my phone and headphones to continue feeling the cool breeze properly with this song. I was coming home from a party late at night, which tremendously added to the feeling, I love life for having the chance to experience things like these.
