Harel Skaat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Noisy at night sounds great room has been covered
Bruiser Pacific busy
White linen walls windows
Prosecutors tell me
What I know
And the more that they're closer to me slowly
Researchers find out they are not ashamed to reveal
I start to talk
Number of nearly everything
Laughing and crying
I see it end
He is here
He's waiting
Not afraid so pure
I no longer need to ask
I'll break down the walls
Those built by
The end is here
I'll take it to me
I'll be
I'll be late
Perhaps
And that scares me to think
The unjustified distress who did not leave even a minute
Not allowed to part
Although let me love only a few minutes
Then came back to me to approach closer and did not give
I found the rooms quiet of my receiver
To escape
I can not find anywhere else
Listen to my voice and my refuge, they were




Now I know where I learned to speak
He is here...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Harel Skaat's "Words" are poetic and mysterious. The song appears to be about a person who is trapped in a room or a building, surrounded by noise and chaos. The room is covered, and there are white linen walls and windows. Prosecutors tell the person what they know, and researchers are finding out things, which they are not ashamed to reveal. The person starts to talk and cannot stop, laughing and crying as they realize the end is near. However, someone is waiting for them, not afraid and pure. The person no longer needs to ask and will break down the walls. They will be late, but they will take it to themselves.


The song's mood is intense and emotional, with a sense of urgency and foreboding. The lyrics appear to be about some kind of confinement or trap, with a feeling of being watched and controlled by unseen forces.

Words are so painful, they increase the pain. I don't want the words back, I want to be respected without words. With bad words I get in sore emotional distress.
