Speak In Tongues
Ferras Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something's gon' missing
Travel the distance to drown on the sound of the noise we make
We talk the same shit
Expecting to shake shift
But we just dump shit,
Can't swim in the wreckage of what we saved
How do we get to the naked truth
What have I got
What have I got
What if we've got nothing else to lose
The only thing left for us to do
It's turn the lights out
No more words
I wanna speak in tongues
No more words
Talk to me with your touch
Body vibration is not hard to hide
No conversations are good place to start
No more words
I wanna speak in tongues
You never listen
And I play the victim
Why don't we shut up
Come undone, and change who we both become
I buy you weapons
You put up resistance
Even one of us spending, we're in this
And end up just enemies
How do we get to the naked truth
Cause I got nothing if I don't got you
What have I got
What have I got
What if we've got nothing else to lose
The only thing left for us to do
It's turn the lights out
No more words
I wanna speak in tongues
No more words
Talk to me with your touch
Body vibration is not hard to hide
No conversations are good place to start
No more words
I wanna speak in tongues
In a better silence
I do need you
And the voice still lasts
I'm gonna still you
Feel you
And turn the lights out
I wanna speak in tongues
No more words
Talk to me with your touch
Body vibration is not hard to hide
No conversations are good place to start
No more words
I wanna speak in tongues
The lyrics to Ferras's song "Speak in Tongues" express a sense of frustration and disappointment in a relationship that has lost its connection and communication. The opening lines, "Everything's different, Something's gon' missing," suggest a feeling of upheaval and disconnection. The singer then describes their attempts to communicate with their partner, using familiar language, but ultimately feeling like they are just "dumping shit," unable to connect. The singer then poses the question, "How do we get to the naked truth?" expressing a desire for deeper understanding and vulnerability in the relationship.
The chorus, "No more words, I wanna speak in tongues," reflects a desire for a deeper, non-verbal level of communication. The singer wants to connect physically, through touch and body vibration, rather than relying on words that seem to fall flat. The bridge, "In a better silence, I do need you, And the voice still lasts, I'm gonna still you, Feel you, And turn the lights out," continues the theme of the need for a deeper level of connection, beyond words.
Overall, "Speak in Tongues" is a powerful commentary on the importance of communication in relationships and the need for connection beyond words. It expresses a sense of frustration and a desire for deeper understanding between partners.

Everything's different
Things aren't the same as they used to be
Something's gon' missing
Something important has been lost
Travel the distance to drown on the sound of the noise we make
We try to cover up our lack of communication with meaningless noise
We talk the same shit
Our conversations are repetitive and unproductive
Expecting to shake shift
We hope to change things, but don't take action to do so
But we just dump shit,
Our attempts at communication only make things worse
Can't swim in the wreckage of what we saved
We can't salvage what we once had
How do we get to the naked truth
How can we be completely honest with each other
Cause I got nothing if I don't got you
I need you to be honest with me for our relationship to work
What have I got
What do I have left in this relationship
What if we've got nothing else to lose
If we have nothing left, what is stopping us from being honest
The only thing left for us to do
Our only option left is to be completely honest
It's turn the lights out
It's time to be truthful and face the reality of our situation
No more words
We don't need to talk anymore
I wanna speak in tongues
I want to communicate through touch and emotion
Talk to me with your touch
Use physical touch to communicate with me
Body vibration is not hard to hide
Our true feelings can be communicated without words
No conversations are good place to start
We need to stop our ineffective and unproductive conversations
You never listen
You don't hear me when I try to communicate
And I play the victim
I act like a victim instead of being direct with you
Why don't we shut up
We need to stop talking and start listening
Come undone, and change who we both become
We need to let go of our current communication patterns and become more honest and open with each other
I buy you weapons
I try to fix our problems by spending money
You put up resistance
You are resistant to my attempts to fix our problems
Even one of us spending, we're in this
We are in this relationship together, even if only one of us is putting effort into it
And end up just enemies
Our inability to communicate will lead to the end of our relationship
In a better silence
We need to communicate through silence and physical touch
I do need you
I need you in my life, even if our communication is difficult
And the voice still lasts
Our voices continue to cause problems in our relationship
I'm gonna still you
I will be there for you no matter what
No more words
We need to stop talking and start listening
I wanna speak in tongues
I want to communicate through touch and emotion

Very beautiful song, by a very talented young man. Thanks for giving us something beautiful; and thank you for giving us "Closer" reminds me of a woman from my past with whom she and I could've grown closer, but she passed away unexpectedly 😔
