Say Something
Caravn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one, if you want me to
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere, I would have followed you
Ooh, ooh say something, I'm giving up on you




Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something

Overall Meaning

Caravan's song "Say Something" is a heart-wrenching ballad about the breakdown of a relationship, where one partner feels they have done all they can to save it, but the other is unable to reciprocate their feelings. The first verse begins with a plea to the other to speak up, as the singer is "giving up" on them. They offer to be the one to follow anywhere, indicating a willingness to compromise and try to make things work, but the second verse reveals that they feel out of their depth and inexperienced in love. They acknowledge that they will likely stumble and fall as they learn, but they need the other person to meet them halfway.


The chorus repeats the title phrase, "Say something," emphasizing that the other's silence is what is causing the singer to lose hope. They express their sorrow that they couldn't reach the other person and reiterate their willingness to follow them anywhere. However, the bridge takes a turn as the singer shows a moment of strength and independence, stating that they will "swallow [their] pride" and say goodbye to the one they love. The final repetition of "Say something" serves as a final plea for the other person to speak up before it's too late.


Overall, "Say Something" is a heart-wrenching and emotional song about the breakdown of communication in a relationship, where one partner desperately tries to save it while the other struggles to reciprocate. The lyrics are poignant and raw, and the melody and production of the song match the intensity of the emotions conveyed.
