Needless To Say
Deborah Harry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A specter of conjecture
I'll take the silent treatment
When words get in the way
Oh, politician, magician
You made your point
Another night, another day
I heard the blues this morning
Before I saw first light
Insinuation of the daytime
Long before it got bright
My un-nameable self
Lives inside the dark
Full of innuendo
A very hungry shark
Needless to say
Needless to say, I love you
Needless to say
Needless to say, I love you
I wanna fly on the fast plane
Get there before I'm gone
'Cause action speaks louder
I've gone [Incomprehensible]
That jet's been grounded
Flying for the song
In the flow of the jet stream
Blown before the storm
Needless to say so pardon me
Needless to say, I love you
Needless to say so pardon me
Needless to say, I love you
In the heat of the moment
Of the heat of the moment
Of the heat of the moment
In the heat of the moment
Needless to say
The song "Needless To Say" by Deborah Harry is a deep reflection on the power of words and their impact on our lives. The lyrics highlight the fact that words are often just empty and meaningless, and that silence can sometimes be more powerful than any spoken word. Harry touches on the idea that politicians and magicians often use words to their advantage, trying to make a point that's not necessarily true or accurate.
The song also explores the idea of the unnameable self, the part of us that lives inside the dark, full of innuendo and hunger. Harry's lyrics imply that this side of us is often best expressed in silence, and that sometimes the things we can't say are far more important than the things we can.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Needless to say, I love you," which can be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be seen as a simple declaration of love, or it could be Harry's way of saying that sometimes love doesn't need to be expressed with words.
Overall, "Needless To Say" is a powerful song about the power of silence, the limitations of words, and the complexities of love.
