Speak
Gracie and Rachel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hear it in my head but it comes out blurred
Tongue-tied to find, tongue-tied to find
What's on my mind
If you only knew that the only thing I know is here between us
I'm still holding strong even if my mouth can't speak up
I know I got it in my heart
I know I got it in my heart
Even if my mouth can't speak up
I know the things to say to make it right
But knowing and doing are like day and night
Tongue-tied to find, tongue-tied to find
What's on my mind
If you only knew that the only thing I know is here between us
I'm still holding strong even if my mouth can't speak up
I know I got it in my heart
I'm still holding strong
I know I got it in my heart
Even if my mouth can't speak up
Is saying nothing better than saying it wrong? (Saying it wrong)
Is seeming weak really being strong?
Is saying something better than nothing at all? (Nothing at all)
Is taking the leap worth taking the fall?
If you only knew that the only thing I know is here between us
I'm still holding strong even if my mouth can't speak up
I know I got it in my heart
I'm still holding strong
I know I got it in my heart
Even if my mouth can't speak up
I'm still holding strong
Even if my mouth can't speak up
The lyrics to Gracie and Rachel's song "Speak" explore one's struggle to find the perfect words to express themselves. The first verse talks about how sometimes we can't articulate our thoughts clearly, even when we know exactly what we want to say. The frustration of being "tongue-tied to find what's on my mind" is a feeling that many of us can relate to.
The song's chorus emphasizes the importance of communication, even when it's challenging. The singer is aware of the power of their emotions, and the impact their words could have on the person they're speaking to. Despite their difficulty expressing themselves, they're determined to stay true to their feelings and "hold strong."
The bridge of the song poses philosophical questions about the value of speaking up versus staying silent. Is it better to risk being wrong and speak your truth, or to remain silent and avoid conflict? Is vulnerability a sign of weakness, or does it take strength to be open and authentic?
Overall, "Speak" is a powerful song about the importance of honest communication, even when it's difficult. It's a reminder to stay true to our feelings, and to never give up on finding the right words to express ourselves.
