Gambling with weighted dice
I know all this but I still play along
I guess I'm gonna have to lose
I had the highest hopes
And it probably doesn't even show
Do you miss all of the talking
Miss out on the small things
It's only when I
I draw the line
So say my name
You gotta say my name
Say my name now
Best to say the same
Or I'll be blamed again
You cannot deny how hard I try
To put you first every damn time
It's hopeless devotion but I'll play along
Recklessly abandoned to truth
I had good intention
And it probably doesn't even show
Do you miss all of the talking
Miss out on the small things
Do you even miss my voice
It's only when I
I draw the line
So say my name
Do you miss all of the talking
Miss out on the small things
Do you even miss my voice
It's only when I
I draw the line
So say my name
You gotta say my name
Say my name now
Best to say the same
Or I'll be blamed again
The lyrics of "Say My Name" by M.I.B reflect on how the singer feels like he is constantly being overlooked and forgotten by someone he cares about deeply. The song is a plea to be acknowledged and appreciated, to have his name spoken and to have his presence recognized. The words paint a picture of a relationship where the singer has done everything he can to show his devotion and prove his worth, but nothing seems to be enough.
The opening lines suggest that the singer is aware that he is taking a chance and risking something valuable, likely his heart or his time, by engaging in this situation. He understands that the odds are stacked against him, and that he is putting himself in a potentially dangerous position by continuing to pursue the other person, who may not feel the same way. Despite this, he decides to keep playing the game, and to keep hoping for a positive outcome.
The chorus, with its repetition of "say my name", highlights the core theme of the song. The singer is desperate to be acknowledged, to be seen and heard as a valuable person in the eyes of the other. The lyrics also suggest a sense of insecurity on the part of the singer, as if he is afraid of being lost or forgotten if he is not treated as important. The final lines, with their reference to being "blamed again", imply that the singer may have been marginalized or mistreated in the past, and that he is now determined to be recognized and respected.

So I guess this is where the money is
I'm realizing that this relationship is centered around material possessions
Gambling with weighted dice
I know things are stacked against me, but I'm still taking a chance
I know all this but I still play along
I am aware of the risks, but I'm still going to participate
I guess I'm gonna have to lose
I realize that I might not end up winning
I had the highest hopes
I had really good expectations for this relationship
And it probably doesn't even show
I've kept my feelings hidden and haven't expressed them
Do you miss all of the talking
Do you miss our conversations?
Miss out on the small things
Do you miss the little things that we used to do together?
Do you even miss my voice
Do you miss me when I'm not around?
It's only when I
I only feel important when
I draw the line
I set boundaries
So say my name
Let me know that you care about me
You gotta say my name
You need to acknowledge my importance
Say my name now
Do it immediately
Best to say the same
Don't change your mind later
Or I'll be blamed again
Otherwise, you'll be held responsible for hurting me
You cannot deny how hard I try
You have to recognize my effort
To put you first every damn time
I always prioritize you
It's hopeless devotion but I'll play along
My love for you might be one-sided, but I'll still go along with it
Recklessly abandoned to truth
I'm facing the reality of the situation, even if it's painful
I had good intention
I meant well
And it probably doesn't even show
But I didn't express it well enough
