Say It Again
B. Mann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I feel things deeply all the time
I could write it in a song but when I opened up my mouth
All that came out was miscommunication
Say it out loud like you know it’s the truth
Say it out loud even if you’re confused
Try to get it out from inside your head
Before it’s all just miscommunication
All the honesty we never had
I could keep it all inside but only for so long
I’m not strong enough to tame the tide
Say it out loud like you know it’s the truth
Say it out loud even if you’re confused
Try to get it out from inside your head
Before it’s all just miscommunication
Can’t hide forever
From the first heart attack, first heart attack
You’ve run out of cover
No holding back, no holding back
Say it out loud like you know it’s the truth
Say it out loud even if you’re confused
Try to get it out from inside your head
Before it’s all just miscommunication
Say it out loud like you know it’s the truth, say it out
Say it out loud even if you’re confused
Try to get it out from inside your head
Before it’s all just miscommunication
Before it’s all just miscommunication
Before it’s all just miscommunication
The lyrics of the song "Say It Again" by B. Mann are about the struggle to open up and communicate one's feelings honestly. The first lines establish the singer's difficulty in talking about their emotions, but they also acknowledge their deep connection to their feelings. The second verse tells us that the singer has been holding back for years, but this is not a sustainable position. The tide of repressed feelings is too strong to resist. In the chorus, the singer urges the listener to speak their mind, even if they are confused, to avoid miscommunication. The "heart attack" metaphor in the bridge indicates that hiding one's emotions is not only emotionally taxing but potentially damaging. In the end, the singer repeats the chorus as a reminder that communication is key and misunderstandings can be avoided if we speak our truth.
