Io Lyrics

Listen!
R&b is a losted soul
That is why i rock&roll
Modern pop it leaves me cold itโฒs nothing but clishay
And hip-hop now is a losted sting
Because it song about bling bling
Don't you have something intresting to say?
You got to say something - itโฒs gotta mean something
If it was without the mess it's not what i'm looking for
You gotta say something - itโฒs gotta mean something
Another stupid party song - what everyone can sing alone
And no one knows whatโฒs going on no more like engage
Another million songs are there - i realy thing i heard enough
And you've got to meaning from to say?
Make some music for the masses - what nobody has done before
You got to say something - itโฒs gotta mean something
If it was without the mess it's not what iโฒm looking for
You gotta say something - it's gotta mean something...
And i just trade it
And i just have the touch
And in my hole pants are feeded
The game - itโฒs change to much (its change to much)
...
Songs without the feel (songs without the feel)
And i will - fashion
It makes me just to want to to...
SCREAM!
It makes me wanna scream...
Whooooooooooo
Make some music for the masses - what nobody has done before
You got to say something - it's gotta mean something
If it was without the mess it's not what iโฒm looking for
You gotta say something - itโฒs gotta mean something
Gimmie music that mean something
Let me know that i have to lock the door
I gotta say something - it's gotta mean something
In "Say Something" by Io, the lyrics express a frustration with the current state of music and a longing for meaningful and unique songs. The song opens by emphasizing the loss of R&B as a genre, which used to have depth and soul but has now been replaced by formulaic rock and roll. The artist dismisses modern pop as clichรฉ and unemotional, while also criticizing hip-hop for focusing solely on materialistic themes.
The chorus reflects the desire for music that stands out and carries a message that resonates with the audience. Io calls for musicians to create something new and groundbreaking, something that has not been done before. The repetition of "say something" emphasizes the need for meaningful lyrics that provoke thought and evoke emotion. The artist contrasts this with the prevalence of mindless party songs that lack substance and leave listeners feeling disconnected.
As the song progresses, Io expresses frustration with the ongoing flood of songs that fail to convey a true sense of feeling or engage the listener on a deeper level. The bridge conveys a sense of being worn out by the superficiality of the music industry. The artist feels overwhelmed by music lacking emotion and craves authenticity.
Overall, "Say Something" by Io is a plea for musicians to use their platform to create music with substance and meaning. It reflects the disillusionment with the current state of popular music and yearns for a return to impactful songwriting.

My eyes always get teary when I hear this song.
I remember the time everything seemed perfect, no drama, no fighting, no envy.
But as I grew older, I got to see how cruel the world and its people can be.
When I was 12, my parents started fighting a lot. My dad found out that my mom was cheating on him with someone who was 18 years younger than her. That really broke his heart, I remember seeing him cry all day.
Unfortunately,I barely get to see him now. He never comes at my place to check up, nor does my mom.
My parents were never really there for me either. They were absent for most of my life. They were never there for me when I needed them the most.
They used to be all "lovey dovey" back then but now they both hate eachother.
I lost a lot of important people through out my life too.
You don't want to imagine how I felt, when I lost the best person in my life. My little brother. He will always be in my heart, no matter what.
A lot of people would compare me to my seniors, cousins and friends etc
They would always make me feel like I was a disappointment. They would let all there anger out on me, knowing that I had a very fragile heart and was a naive child.
Honestly, it's partly my fault too. I never stood up for myself because I thought they knew what was right and I didn't.
I was just a very "coward" child.
Now that I have grown up, I am chasing after my dreams and focusing on myself and not on others. I have many people supporting me, even tho my family isn't.
Edit= I am in last year of university right now, my field was towards writing and books. My parents never really supported my dreams, but I kept going after what I wanted. What i wrote above was only half of what happened since I wanted to keep the rest private.
Know that life will always be full of obstacles, that one must pass to proceed the next level. Never give up when you are in time of distress and remember that what you're going through will eventually last.
