Nothing To Say
Delbi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hidden in a corner I'm talking with her
Focus on her mouth when she reveal her teeth
her smile is still shy but her eyes are stroking me
Am I Right?
Don't she try to play with me
Just like a puppet on a string
But I have nothing to say
I can see her chest moving fast up and down
She arouses me so deeply I can't help desire her
Should I take her hand or put my on her thigh
All these gestures are fake I don't bear to be so banal
Am I mad?
Have I dreamt all these signs today
That make me think I should take her away
From all these boring people inside and make her open up
Open up in my arms
We've got the feeling that we could be lovers
We've got this feeling but have nothing to say
We'd better hurry before feeling is over
We'd better hurry but have nothing to say
I confess I'm lost in confusion
All my senses act up one by one
I'm a mess, I'm clumsy like a child
My stomach is a floor-clothe
And I have nothing to say
We've got the feeling that we could be lovers
We've got this feeling but have nothing to say
We'd better hurry before feeling is over
We'd better hurry but have nothing to say
I was so many times about to succeed
To steal her from her fears and her doubts
But I'm just a poor lonesome cowboy with no gun
And my horse has a wood leg
And I have nothing to say
We've got the feeling that we could be lovers
We've got this feeling but have nothing to say
We'd better hurry before feeling is over
We'd better hurry but have nothing to say
The beginning of Delbi's song "Nothing to Say" sets the scene of a boring party where the singer feels lost among strangers. The setting changes when they start talking to a woman in the corner, paying particular attention to her smile and eyes. Despite feeling a strong attraction, the singer is doubtful, wondering if the woman is sincere or just playing with them. They express a desire to take her away from the dull party but feel unable to navigate the situation. The lyrics paint a picture of a scene where feelings run high, but words are absent.
The chorus emphasizes this inability to express their emotions, representing a common experience. Even when two people feel a deep connection, the fear of saying something wrong often holds them back. The lyrics show how difficult it can be to communicate with someone even when you feel a connection. The song relies heavily on the poetry of the lyrics, using vivid images to express the singer's inner struggle.
Overall, "Nothing to Say" is a song about the complexity of attraction, the excitement and fear that come with it, and the difficulty of translating those feelings into words.
