Iwan Rheon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
turns showers of sunlight to hours of hindsight instead.
You sigh, you shake your head,
it did what they asked us, but time drifted past I'm afraid.
But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied.
If we can make it through tonight girl,
If we can make it through this night girl,
I know I won't be alone again.
But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied.
If I don't let you go tonight girl,
I know I won't be alone again.
My lips are dry your grip is tight girl,
but I know I won't sing this song again.
But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied.
I know these wrongs don't make it right girl,
but I know I will look on and admire.
So I will watch you here tonight girl,
brighter and more like the embers of our fire.
But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied.
So lately I've been working on this song of mine.
You sigh, you shake your hair,
turns showers of sunlight to hours of hindsight instead.
The fall that breaks your bed,
it did what they asked us, but time drifted past I'm afraid.
But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied
The lyrics of Iwan Rheon's "Tongue Tied" represent themes of exhaustion and struggle in communicating one's thoughts and feelings. The opening lines refer to a fall that breaks your bed, which could symbolize a significant event that leaves one feeling helpless and unable to get up. This is followed by a turn in the sunlight into hours of hindsight, which suggests a reflection or regret over the past. The singer then expresses frustration with being tongue-tied, or struggling to express oneself.
Despite this difficulty, the singer finds hope in the possibility of making it through the night and not being alone again. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for overcoming challenges and finding companionship. The repetition of "I'm tired" throughout the song further emphasizes the exhaustion and weariness of the singer.
The final lines of the song suggest a longing to admire someone or something, despite knowing that past wrongs cannot be undone. The singer expresses a desire to watch and appreciate the subject of their admiration, perhaps finding solace in the presence of someone who understands them.
Overall, "Tongue Tied" presents a relatable struggle with communication and a search for connection and understanding.

Upadek, który łamie twoje łóżko ,
Zmienia prysznice światła słonecznego do godziny pewności po fakcie, zamiast tego.
Wzdychasz, potrząsasz głową ,
Zrobili to,o co pytali nas, ale czas upłynął do przeszłości obawiam się.
Ale jestem zmęczony, jestem zmęczony, jestem zmęczony, jestem zmęczony byciem nieśmiałym.
Jeżeli przetrwamy przez dziś wieczór dziewczyno,
Wiem, że nie będzie ponownie sam.
Jeżeli przetrwamy przez dzisiejszą noc dziewczyno,
Wiem, że nie będzie ponownie sam.
Ale jestem zmęczony, jestem zmęczony, jestem zmęczony, jestem zmęczony byciem nieśmiałym.
Jeśli nie pozwolę ci odejść tej nocy dziewczyno,
Wiem, że nie będzie ponownie sam.
Moje usta są suche twój uścisk jest napięty dziewczyno,
ale wiem, że nie będzie ponownie śpiewać tej piosenki.
Ale jestem zmęczony, jestem zmęczony, jestem zmęczony, jestem zmęczony byciem nieśmiałym.
Wiem, że te krzywdy nie sprawią dobrego dziewczyno,
ale wiem, że będę patrzeć i podziwiać .
Więc będę oglądać Cię tu dzisiaj dziewczyno ,
jaśniejsze i bardziej jak żar naszego ognia .
Ale jestem zmęczony, jestem zmęczony, jestem zmęczony, jestem zmęczony byciem nieśmiałym.
Więc ostatnio pracuję nad tą moją piosenką.
Wzdychasz, potrząsasz włosami,
Zmienia prysznice światła słonecznego do godziny pewności po fakcie, zamiast tego.
Upadek, który łamie twoje łóżko ,
Zrobili to,o co pytali nas, ale czas upłynął do przeszłości obawiam się..
Ale jestem zmęczony, jestem zmęczony, jestem zmęczony, jestem zmęczony byciem nieśmiałym
