SAY SOMETHING
Jordan Rakei Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say something, say something
Say something, say something

Say something to me, say it like you mean it
Out there thinking you deserve this
All over nothing, pain is the meaning
Out there somewhere in the distance
Way too cold outside
Feels like I've been running wild
All out here for living
So we keep on biding time

Say something
Say something

Say something to me
Speak up if you wanna fight it
Don't think you can't describe it (yeah)
All of your energy
Leave us with the old reminder
Of what you always seem to care for

Way too cold outside
Feels like I've been running wild
All out here for living
So we keep on biding time

Say something
Say something

I was sick and tired of how they used our minds
I press rewind, I never press record
I was making sure that everything's alright
It's on the line, our future's heading for
Relapse and all that, there's no way to fall back
It's too far gone, it's too far gone
Now they take our memories, it's up to us to say
It's not too far gone, it's not too hard to
Say something

Say something
Say something
Say something (oh-oh)
Say something
Say something (oh-oh)
Say something




Say something (oh-oh)
Say something

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jordan Rakei's song "Say Something" seem to be about a dysfunctional relationship with someone who is not communicating their thoughts or feelings. The singer asks the person to say something to him, to speak up and be honest about what's going wrong in their relationship. They suggest that the person is distant and indifferent, causing pain and confusion. The singer admits to feeling lost and running wild, but is willing to keep trying to make the relationship work if the other person is willing to communicate.


The second verse takes a more political direction, with the lyrics touching on issues of censorship, propaganda, and the manipulation of memory. The singer seems to be fed up with a society that doesn't value honesty and communication, and is willing to manipulate people's thoughts and memories for their own gain. The singer urges the listener to "say something", to resist this manipulation and speak up for what's right.


Overall, the song seems to be about the importance of communication in relationships and society as a whole. Without honest communication, we can't build healthy relationships or a healthy society.

This song is a WOW. I just heard via Bandcamp and Jordan keeps getting better and better. I love his lyrics, the music he creates and his Voice. Oh his voice is so ethereal, delicate yet soothing. I also think the picture for his upcoming cd is so appropriate. Take a swim in his emotional ocean. Explore its depths. I’m a fan. I will never stop listening to him. 🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥🎧🎶🎧🎶
