Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe you don't, who told you so?
Aren't we all just playing telephone?
Where'd you hear (where'd you hear) what you think you heard?
You spread the word, so absurd
Did you catch it from a little bird
Blowing smoke don't it make you choke
Watch your flow before you go
You say (you say) what you say (what you say)
It will come back to you just like a boomerang (like a boomerang)
And those lies (those lies) how they fly (how they fly)
When they come buzzin' you can shoo them all away
Do you believe (do you believe) everything you read
Wrong or right is it cut and dry
Left to right is it black and white
Rumor mill never sits still
It can give you chills, it can give you thrills
Either way you're gonna get your fill
You say (you say) what you say (what you say)
It will come back to you just like a boomerang (like a boomerang)
And those lies (those lies) how they fly (how they fly)
When they come buzzin' you can shoo them all away
Do you know what you think you know?
Maybe you don't, who told you so
Aren't we all just playing telephone?
Do you know (do you know) what you think you know?
Maybe you don't, who told you so?
Aren't we all just playing telephone?
You say (you say) what you say (what you say)
It will come back to you just like a boomerang (like a boomerang)
And those lies (those lies) how they fly (how they fly)
When they come buzzin' you can shoo them all away
Do you know what you think you know?
Maybe you don't, who told you so?
Aren't we all just playing telephone?
In Maggie Rose's song "Telephone," the singer reflects on the prevalence of spread of rumors and misinformation in our society. Throughout the song, she asks the listener to question what they think they know, reminding them that much of what we hear is simply passed down through the game of "telephone." The lyrics confront the idea that, in many cases, we don't have access to the full story, and chooses to highlight the importance of taking a closer look at what we hear.
The song's second verse addresses the role of social media in spreading misinformation, describing the "rumor mill" as something that "never sits still" and can be both thrilling and chilling, depending on the context. Ultimately, Rose emphasizes the power of words and how what we say (or repeat) can come back to bite us, comparing it to a boomerang.
Overall, "Telephone" is a poignant reminder to stay mindful and think critically about the information we consume and share. The lyrics encourage listeners to question what they hear, and to remember that what we think we know might not necessarily be the truth.
