Anything You Say
Deas Vail Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take this broken world off of my heart.
So I stumble down into the room where the templates are made.
And you show me that somehow I can change these days.
You pulled a part of me I could never understand
Crashing to your side and your breaking up this silence
Never to again let my courage fall.
I'm continually coming, time and time again for anything you say now. For anything you say now.
For this foreign affair I will abide as the middle man.
Cause the solo cry is more than I can stand.
So I walk on air, and awkwardly seek out a child's form.
And I know that you won't lead me to the storm
The lyrics to Deas Vail's song Anything You Say are poetic and introspective, exploring themes of brokenness, courage, and the power of love to transform. The opening lines, "Write me down, I am the words: falling apart," suggest a sense of helplessness and despair, as if the singer is struggling to express themselves or make sense of their world. The following line, "Take this broken world off of my heart," suggests a desire for relief or release from the pain and chaos of life. As the song progresses, however, the singer finds hope and inspiration in their connection to another person, whom they address as "you."
The line "So I stumble down into the room where the templates are made" suggests that the singer is seeking guidance or inspiration from someone they see as wise or creative. The subsequent line, "And you show me that somehow I can change these days," suggests that the person they are addressing is able to offer them a sense of clarity or purpose that they could not find on their own.
The chorus of the song seems to address the person the singer is addressing directly, suggesting that they have a strong bond and a deep trust in each other's words and actions. The lines "You try for every moment, walking hand in hand. So encouraging. I'm continually coming, time and time again for anything you say now. For anything you say now" suggest that the singer sees the other person as a source of strength, and is willing to follow them wherever they lead.
Overall, the song seems to be about the power of love to transform and heal, even in the midst of darkness and despair. The singer's connection to another person provides them with a sense of hope and possibility, and allows them to see the world in a different way.
