Unspoken
Brightwood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wait alone for only you
And I sit silent for a while
But time is nothing
When its you on the line
And some day I'll tell you
What you mean to me
And one day I know I'll find the words to say
I'll tell you I love you and all will fade away
Simple patience
Effortless pain
Circumstances get in the way
But If you're willing to give me a chance
I'll make this promise to save this dance
And someday I'll tell you
What you mean to me
I'll tell you I love you and give you all of me
And one day I know I'll find the words to say
I'll tell you I love you and all will fade away
You will die
I'll try
You will die
And touch the sky
The song 'Unspoken' composed by Brightwood is an emotional and heart touching track that talks about the hidden love and only expressed through the heart. The opening lines 'Hidden pieces of my heart, wait alone for only you,' gives us a glimpse of the love that the singer nurture for the person he/she addresses. The writer uses the metaphor of broken pieces of a heart to show that the feelings which have been kept secret are just fragments that are waiting for the person they are meant for. The singer is unable to express those emotions verbally, but they still exist deep down their heart, waiting for the person they love. The narrative's mood is somber as he/she sits quietly, and time ticks by without the realization of the passing hours because thoughts of the person being missed is a preoccupation.
The chorus of the song holds the most profound meaning, where the singer longs to confess their love; 'And someday I'll tell you what you mean to me. I'll tell you I love you and give you all of me. And one day I know I'll find the words to say, I'll tell you I love you, and all will fade away.' It conveys the message that the singer is waiting for the right moment to confess their love as they believe that until then, nothing will seem quite right. The bridge with the lines ' You will die, I'll try, you will die and touch the sky,' provides an ambiance of hope and courage. It assures that no matter what, the singer will always be by the side of the person they love, even when they pass away.
