Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say, I like you
Say, I want you
Say, I need you
I don't
Say, I want you
Say, I love you
I, just turn blue
I know
All I want is you
All you want is me
All I wanna do
Is to hear you say
I L U
I know
All I wanna do is hang with you
All the things I do are meant to you
All the love I have I got from you
I want you
The lyrics to John Filme's song "Say" revolve around the theme of unrequited love and the longing for someone who does not feel the same way.
In the first paragraph, the repetition of "Say" highlights the singer's desire to hear the person they are addressing acknowledge their existence. Lines like "Say, I know you" and "Say, I like you" reveal the singer's hopefulness in establishing a connection and suggesting their interest. However, the phrase "I don't" at the end indicates that despite their wishes, the person they are addressing does not reciprocate those feelings. This contrast creates a sense of disappointment and emotional dissonance.
The second paragraph continues the theme of longing and unrequited love. The repetition of "Say, I want you" and "Say, I need you" signifies the intense desire the singer has for the person they are addressing. However, the line "I, just turn blue" suggests that the singer's emotional state is deteriorating, possibly due to the unrequited love and the pain of not having their feelings returned. Despite this, they understand the reality of the situation and acknowledge it with the phrase "I know."
The third paragraph places emphasis on the desire for mutual affection. The line "All I want is you, All you want is me" indicates the singer's belief that they are meant to be together, suggesting a strong connection. The repetition of the phrase "All I wanna do is to hear you say I L U" reinforces the yearning for the person they are addressing to express their love. This line implies that hearing those three powerful words is all the singer craves.
The final paragraph reveals the intensity of the singer's feelings. The line "All I wanna do is hang with you" emphasizes their desire to spend time together, indicating a longing for closeness and emotional connection. The phrase "All the things I do are meant for you" implies that their actions revolve around the person they love, highlighting their devotion and possibly an unrequited devotion. The phrase "All the love I have I got from you" suggests that their feelings for this person have influenced and shaped their capacity to love. The repetition of "I want you" serves as a reminder of their underlying desire, reaffirming the central theme of longing and unrequited love.
