Say It
David Lynch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say it baby

Night on the street
It's a silver moon
Going out real late
And out of the darkness they come
Like last night, only more
What's shaking in that little silk dress?
Warm winds blowing
Like you're wearing a little purple dress
[?]

Say it
Say it
Say it
Say it babe
Say it
So all the people know
So all the people know

You girls are so sweet
Moving about, coming in closer
Cindy tapping that foot
Say it
Say it baby
Say it
Say it babe
Say it
So all the people know

Shuffle starter
Dancing, we are together
Dean and Cindy and [?] too
Diane and [?]
Got me dizzy
Like in a swirling dream
What's going on here?
Circling around me
High heeled shoes, clicking and [?]
Girls moving, this way and that
Got me dreaming

Say it
Say it baby
Say it babe
[?]
Say it babe
[?]
Say it babe
[?]
Say it
Say it babe
Say it
So all the people know
So all the people know
Just say it, baby
Say it baby
You've gotta tell me you love me
You love me baby
Say it
Tell me you love me baby




Tell me you love me baby
Say it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to David Lynch's song "Say It" are not immediately clear in their meaning, but they convey a sense of intrigue and mystery. The song describes a night out on the street, with a "silver moon" and "warm winds blowing". The singer takes notice of a woman in a "little silk dress" and wonders what's "shaking" in her world. The lyrics then shift to describe a group of people, including Cindy and another unnamed person, dancing and swirling around the singer. The repetition of "Say it" throughout the song could be interpreted as a plea for the woman in the silk dress to reveal her secrets or for someone else to confess their feelings.


The lyrics are open to interpretation, as is often the case with Lynch's works. The lyrics could be seen as a portrayal of a surreal and dreamlike world, with characters that exist outside of reality. The repetition of "Say it" could be seen as representing an inner desire or need for communication or connection. The song is accompanied by a haunting melody and Lynch's trademark use of sound effects and atmospheric sounds, further adding to the overall sense of mystery and intrigue.
