Words
Elias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Too search for phrases
To sing your praises
But there aren't any magic adjectives
To tell you all you are

You're just too marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Like glorious, glamorous
And that old standby amorous

It's all too wonderful
I'll never find the words
That say enough, tell enough
I mean they just aren't swell enough

You're much too much
And just to very, very
To ever be
In Webster's dictionary

And so I'm borrowing
A love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous
Too marvelous for words

You're much too much
And just to very, very
To ever be
In Webster's dictionary

And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds




To tell you that you're marvelous
Too marvelous for words

Overall Meaning

In the song "Words" by Elias, the lyrics portray the idea of struggling to find the right words to describe someone's beauty, in this case, the person he is singing to. The song starts by saying that he is trying to search for phrases to sing her praises. He acknowledges that there aren't any magic adjectives that would be enough to describe all that she is. The chorus then portrays how she is too marvelous for words, too glorious, glamorous, and amorous, words that are old standbys but still cannot capture all of her beauty.


The second verse continues with the same theme, saying that it is all too wonderful, and he can't find the right words that say enough or tell enough. He admits that the words simply aren't swell enough to tell her how amazing she is. The chorus then repeats, emphasizing the point that she is too much, too very, very to be in Webster's dictionary. This adds to the idea that words are simply not enough to describe her.


The song concludes with the idea of borrowing a love song from the birds to tell her how marvelous she is since words are not enough. This shows that even though words are not enough to capture her beauty, he still wants to find a way to tell her how amazing she is.

A while later into a segment with the Drifter, Elias Samson, the Scottish Psychopath, Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon standing in middle of the ring on Monday Night Raw...
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, the Empress.
Michael Cole: Oh my. This is gonna be good. WWE Universe, you are in for a treat right here tonight.
Renee Young: Here we go. It’s time to Walk With the Empress. I can’t help but wonder how well this is going to go. Looks like we’re going to have ourselves the Tale of Two Drifters here tonight.
Corey Graves: I wonder how My Liege’s going to serenade the WWE Universe tonight.
spotlight comes on
Empress Madame Ninja Barrett: strums her black metallic guitar (sits on a stool placed on the entrance ramp with her black metallic guitar in her possession wearing a black metallic General Manager’s outfit, the pair of Elias's wristbands and the Constable of SmackDown Live medal around her neck.) Hello, I am the Empress. plays her black metallic guitar My eyes are a lake of fire and they set the foundation of all. So, I have one question for everyone here tonight. Who wants to Walk With the Empress? Now, I must say that it’s honor to be here before all of you out here tonight. When I’m out here, there are 3 universal truths that should follow everyone. That is Justice always prevails in the end, evil done in the darkness comes to light and most importantly, a universal truth that follows me everywhere I go and everyone in here knows it, is that WWE also stands for...
Crowd: Walk With the Empress!
Ninja: I said, WWE also stands for...!
Crowd: Walk With the Empress!
Ninja: (closes her eyes, nods and makes an okay sign with her hand before opening her eyes back up again.) Amen, amen. And very shortly, I will be more than willing to beat these dogs down here tonight in a 3 on 1 handicap match. But, before I do that, I’ll give you the musical gift of the Drifter Opportunist. So, I need everyone here to please shut off your cell phones, hold your applause and let the power and determination of the Empress fill your souls. Here we go. plays her black metallic guitar and fully sings Ninja’s Words
crowd claps along with the beat
Drew McIntyre: Oh! You think you’re so strong with all those belts?!
Ninja: Oh, come on, McIntyre. Like you’ve won any.
crowd oohs at the Empress’s burn
Drew: That’s not true. I won the Intercontinental Championship.
Ninja: Only because Shane McMahon’s dad handed it to you a few months after your arrival back almost 8 years ago and it’s become clearly obvious that you haven’t recovered from that since.
Shane McMahon: Wait a minute. My Constable, how do you know that?
Ninja: Your dad told me, Monsieur Commissioner.
Elias Samson: I must say, that was pretty good.
Ninja: Thank you, Elias.
Shane: Wait, you're a Drifter Opportunist?
Ninja: Okay. Shane McMahon clearly doesn’t know what a Drifter Opportunist is. So, I’m going to be kind enough to explain to him what that is. So, basically, it’s a crossover between the Rated R Superstar, Edge and the Living Truth, Elias Samson. You see, Shane, like Edge, I’m an Opportunist, but at the same time, like Elias, I am also a Drifter.
Shane: So, you’re basically the Ultimate Drifter Opportunist?
Ninja: That’s one way of putting it. Congratulations, Shane. You figured it out.
