(Music & Lyrics by Christine Owman)
If truth has objective points of views then what history a person stores
Is true when it comes to perceiving a word like it's spelled?
Are my opinions of you a result of what expresses yours?
Or is it an interpretation reflecting myself?
And without self gain we speak our minds when it's deserved
I long for an empty sheet with all transparent words
And with no self gain we speak our minds when it's deserved
The lyrics to Christine Owman's song "Spelling Words" explore the idea of truth and perception. The first stanza questions whether a person's personal history influences the way they perceive and spell words. The second stanza delves deeper into the idea of interpretation, as the singer wonders whether her opinion of someone is a reflection of them or of herself. Ultimately, the song expresses a desire for open communication and honesty, free from self-interest.
The repetition of the line "I long for an empty sheet with all transparent words" reinforces the theme of clarity and transparency. The use of the word "empty" implies a lack of biases or preconceptions, while "transparent" suggests a desire for honesty and openness. The phrase "with no self gain we speak our minds when it's deserved" further emphasizes this idea, as it suggests a willingness to speak truthfully even if it may not benefit oneself.
Overall, "Spelling Words" is a poignant commentary on the importance of honest communication and the impact of personal biases on our perceptions of truth.

I long for an empty sheet with all transparent words
I wish for a blank slate where words are purely transparent and honest

And without ulterior motives, we speak our minds when it is necessary
I long for an empty sheet with all transparent words
I wish for a blank slate where words are purely transparent and honest
And with no self gain we speak our minds when it's deserved
And without any personal benefit, we express ourselves when it is deserved
