Say
Jnr. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silence since last month
Going round in circles
Has left me numb
'Cause I've been
On the side for far too long
I know it's not forever
But this ain't getting better
Why's it gotta be complicated?
Don't wanna be tolerated
I wanna be sure of the world
Now I question myself
Am I so jaded?
Should've been
The first that you told
But I'm left here in the dark
Would you light me up?
Say what you wanna say
To me now
Don't leave it 'till the morning
'Cause you won't see
Me crawling back
Say what you wanna say
To me now
'Cause when I'm in the dark, babe
I just want you to light me up
Say
Mmm-mm
Mmm-mm
Mmm
Just wa-wanna say
Me up
Say
Mmm-mm
Mmm-mm
Mmm
Just want you to light me up
Say say say say say
Might not say
What you mean babe
But know that this has
Never been a game
No
Two weeks' notice
Gone I'm hopeless
Catch what's going round
You're catching planes
Why's it gotta be complicated?
I should've been the first that you told
But I'm left here in the dark
Would you light me up?
Say what you wanna say
To me now
Don't leave it 'till the morning
'Cause you won't see
Me crawling back
Say what you wanna say
To me now
'Cause when I'm in the dark, babe
I just want you to light me up
Say
Mmm-mm
Mmm-mm
Mmm
Just wa-wanna say
Me up
Say
Mmm-mm
Mmm-mm
Mmm
Just want you to
Think that I'm worth
More than a text
Or tiptoeing round what's next
Tell me I'm not losing you
Thought that had a clue
Just get it over with
Now baby
I'm not playing so
Say what you wanna say
To me now
Don't leave it 'till the morning
'Cause you won't see
Me crawling back
Say what you wanna say
To me now
'Cause when I'm
In the dark, babe
I just want you to light me up
Say
Mmm
Say say say say
Just want you to
Want you to
In these lyrics, Jnr. expresses frustration and confusion in a relationship that is going in circles and causing him to feel numb. He has been on the sidelines for too long and knows that the situation is not permanent, but it is not improving either. He questions why it has to be so complicated and why he has to settle for being tolerated instead of feeling sure of where he stands in the world. He wonders if his feelings of being jaded are justified and why he wasn't the first to know about certain things, leaving him in the dark. He longs for the other person to communicate honestly and openly with him.
Jnr. pleads for the other person to say what they want to say to him now and not leave it until the morning. He doesn't want to be left crawling back after being hurt. He desires to be enlightened and for the other person to be the light in his darkness. The repetition of "Say" emphasizes the urgency and importance of open communication.
He acknowledges that the other person might not say directly what they mean, but he wants them to know that this is not a game. He feels hopeless and realizes that important decisions have been made without him, like giving a two week's notice and catching plane flights. He questions again why things have to be complicated and why he wasn't the first to know.
Jnr. believes that he deserves more than just a text or tiptoeing around the next steps in their relationship. He wants reassurance that he is not losing the other person and admits his confusion about where he stands. He urges the other person to just get it over with and not play games. He wants the truth, even if it may hurt.
Ultimately, Jnr. wants the other person to say what they want to say now and not delay the conversation. He doesn't want to be left in the dark and wishes to be illuminated by their honesty and clarity. He repeats his desire for them to say what they need to say and to be the one who lights up his world.
Line by Line Meaning
We've been talking
We have been communicating with each other
Silence since last month
No communication has occurred since last month
Going round in circles
Engaging in repetitive and pointless discussions
Has left me numb
It has caused me to become emotionally detached
'Cause I've been
On the side for far too long
Because I have been in a secondary position for an extended period
I know it's not forever
I am aware that this situation is temporary
But this ain't getting better
However, the situation is not improving
Why's it gotta be complicated?
Why does it have to be so complex?
Don't wanna be tolerated
I don't want to be merely tolerated
I wanna be sure of the world
I want to have confidence in the world
Now I question myself
Am I so jaded?
Now I doubt myself and wonder if I am cynical
Should've been
The first that you told
I should have been the first person you informed
But I'm left here in the dark
However, I am left unaware and uninformed
Would you light me up?
Can you provide me with illumination and clarity?
Say what you wanna say
To me now
Express your thoughts and feelings to me at this moment
Don't leave it 'till the morning
Don't postpone it until the morning
'Cause you won't see
Me crawling back
Because I won't come back to you begging
Might not say
What you mean babe
You might not express what you truly mean, darling
But know that this has
Never been a game
However, understand that this has never been a trivial matter
Two weeks' notice
Gone I'm hopeless
Being given a notice of two weeks, I am now without hope
Catch what's going round
You're catching planes
Understanding the current situation, you are traveling frequently
Think that I'm worth
More than a text
Believe that I deserve more than a simple text message
Or tiptoeing round what's next
Or navigating cautiously around what will happen next
Tell me I'm not losing you
Assure me that I am not losing your love
Thought that had a clue
Believed that I had an understanding
Just get it over with
Simply bring it to an end
Now baby
I'm not playing so
Now baby, I am not engaging in games anymore
Say say say say say
Keep on expressing your thoughts and feelings
Just want you to
I simply desire you to
Want you to
I want you to
