Universal Language
Anthony Killing Time/H2O Lyrics

The song Universal Language by Anthony from the band H2O questions what the universal language is. The lyrics pose various alternatives such as hate, money, sex, and power, but ultimately suggest that it is music, and none of the aforementioned options. The song also addresses the issue of communication breakdown caused by people using the "wrong" language or methods to express themselves. The line "when you act that way, can't you see you're using the wrong f\*\*\*in language, a language I don't know" implies that miscommunication is a result of people not understanding each other's methods of communication or means of expression.

Furthermore, the song alludes to the idea that the kind of motivation one has in life is crucial in determining the course of their actions. It could either lead to positive or negative consequences. The lyrics ask whether one chases after money or relationships with the opposite sex or has a deeper sense of purpose and motivation that enriches their existence.

In sum, the song emphasizes the importance of effective communication, music as a universal language and choosing a meaningful motivation in one’s life.
