Irya's Playground Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please say that it isn't true
I can no longer hear you breathe
It wasn't time for you to leave
No Laura no Laura no Laura don't leave this way
No Laura no Laura no don't leave
I can't get a single word out of you
Please say that it isn't true
So many things I forgot to say
Please don't leave me this way
No, no Laura no Laura don't leave this way
No Laura no Laura no don't leave
Come back, come back to me, bring her back to me
Come back, come back to me, bring her back to me
"I Can't Get a Word Out of You" is a song by Irya's Playground that expresses the pain of losing someone dear and the inability to communicate with them. The first line, "I can't get a word out of you," suggests that the person that the singer is singing about may be already gone or no longer communicating with them. The second line, "Please say that it isn't true," shows the singer's desperation for the situation to not be real or for the person to come back. The third line, "I can no longer hear you breathe," highlights the finality and loss of the person.
The chorus, consisting of the lines "No Laura no Laura no Laura don't leave this way, No Laura no Laura no don't leave," emphasizes the singer's plea for the person to not leave or to come back. The repetition of "no" and "don't leave" intensifies the overwhelming feeling of unease and sadness.
The second verse continues with the first verse's theme and includes regret for not having the chance to say all the things the singer needed to say - "So many things I forgot to say, please don't leave me this way." There may be a sense of guilt or longing for closure in this line.
Overall, "Come Back" conveys the heartache of losing someone and the desire for them to return, maybe even for the chance to make amends. The song's emotional weight is carried through Irya's Playground's melancholic melody and desperate lyrics.
