Say Something
Kira Puru Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I couldn't care less
If you don't want me then
Oooh, just say so
I couldn't care less
If you don't want me no more, oh
I couldn't care less
If you found somebody and that somebody ain't me
I couldn't care less

But just loosen my leash

And say something, anything at all
Or just let me be
Say something quick
Dig in your fingers into me
Say something, anything at all
Or just let me know
Say something
Keep me close or let me go
Let me go

Just say something (na na na na)

You wanna be close
Yeah, so close
Now you know just how I taste
You wanted some time
Then you wanted some space
You leave me all alone
No, all of nothing or
No text and no call
You leave me all alone
No explanation at all

Just say something, anything at all
Or just let me be
Say something quick
Dig in your fingers into me
Say something, anything at all
Or just let me know
Say something
Keep me close or let me go
Let me go

Just say something (na na na na now)
Just say something (na na na na now)
Just say something (na na na now)

Boy, you were lucky to have tasted my love
To be honest I was shocked that you could give this up
I don't want to want the closure that I ask you for
But I'm done
I'm moving on
Oh, I'm gone

Just say something, anything at all
Or just let me be
Say something quick
Dig in your fingers into me
Say something, anything at all
Or just let me know
Say something
Keep me close or let me go
Let me go

Just say something (na na na na now)
Just say something (na na na na now)

Just say something (na na na now)
Say something

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kira Puru's song "Say Something" speak to the frustration and confusion of being in a relationship where one person is unable or unwilling to communicate openly and honestly. The singer makes it clear that they are ready to move on if their partner is no longer interested in being with them, but they need to hear those words explicitly spoken in order to let go. The repeated chorus of "say something, anything at all" emphasizes the importance of communication in a healthy relationship, and the singer's evident fear of being left in the dark.

The powerful imagery in this song also draws attention to the physical and emotional intensity of the singer's experience. The line "dig in your fingers into me" suggests a desperate need for contact and reassurance, and the repeated refrain of "na na na now" creates a sense of urgency and longing. The final verse, where the singer acknowledges their own strength in leaving the relationship behind, adds a note of empowerment to the otherwise raw and vulnerable song.
