Unsaid
Flor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you near me?
I can feel you near me
I can feel you close

Are you with me?
Please, say you're with me
I can't be alone
Can't be my selfish nature
Can't be my sin
Are these feelings I long for
Best left unsaid?

You can read me
Oh, I know you read me
You get in my head

I won't keep it
I won't keep it to myself
You've won again

Can't be my selfish nature
Can't be my sin
Are these feelings I long for
Best left unsaid?

Nothing hurts when you hide away
Let 'em in and they'll bring the pain
But something about you feels okay
Comfort can't help me grow up anyways

Can't be my...

Best left unsaid
Left unsaid

Can't be my selfish nature
Can't be my sin
(Can't be my...)
Are these feelings I long for
Best left unsaid?
(Left unsaid?)





Best left unsaid?

Overall Meaning

Flor's song "Unsaid" is an emotionally vulnerable track that addresses the fear of being alone and the fear of opening up to someone. The lyrics directly ask the question "Are you near me?" and constantly express a longing to be with someone, seeking reassurance for the fear of being alone. The lines "Can't be my selfish nature, Can't be my sin" seem to show a secondary fear of being rejected for one's own flaws, leading to the question of whether these feelings of longing are better left unsaid. The lyrics illustrate the internal push-and-pull of wanting to be heard and understood while also hiding away for fear of rejection.


The line "Nothing hurts when you hide away, let 'em in and they'll bring the pain" suggests that the fear of opening up to someone comes from the fear of being hurt or rejected. However, the following line "something about you feels okay, comfort can't help me grow up anyways" shows the longing for connection and comfort. The repeated phrase "best left unsaid" throughout the song serves as a reflective question that the subject is asking themselves. In essence, the song expresses the feelings of fear and vulnerability that comes with opening up to someone and the internal battle of wanting to connect and the fear of being rejected or hurt.

@victorfalquer8203

I just realized this song was released on youtube in the exact same day my heart was broken.
I discovered Flor randomly during that time and ever since then I've held this band in my heart as something I found during one of my worse moments. Time flew by, I still love Flor and I'm feeling much better.
You are amazing (you too, person who's reading this), don't ever let anyone make you feel otherwise <3

@pxjxgx

It has taken me a year of listening to this album obsessively to realize this is my new favorite. Nothing beats it... every single song on this album is just stunning.

@madeleinep.828

Man, I just really love indie pop.

@shitluck4862

this sounds like the song that would be playing at a highschool dance and you’re sitting in a chair by yourself and this person walks up to you and you take his/her hand and you and him/her slow dance in the bathroom and this song is playing

@clonk_

I listened to the whole album on Spotify yesterday as soon as I got home. This song was undoubtedly my favourite :D

@silvrbeach
