Words
Malory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They told me everything yesterday
The fate is filmy for that whatever you say
Lay your hands on my soul
And we can feel that I′m still afraid of it

Words can let dreams become true
Words can calm down your soul
Words smash the fortresses of your fear
But words, they can also kill





Overall Meaning

Malory's song Words is a deeply emotional and introspective expression of the power and weight of language. The opening lines, "They told me everything yesterday, the fate is filmy for that whatever you say," convey a sense of being overwhelmed by the words of others, and the sense that words can both obscure truth and create a sense of fleetingness around our experiences.


The next lines, "Lay your hands on my soul and we can feel that I'm still afraid of it," suggest a desire for emotional connection and an intimacy that can help to soothe the fear that words can evoke.


However, the chorus is where the song's true message lies. It states that "Words can let dreams become true, Words can calm down your soul, Words smash the fortresses of your fear, But words, they can also kill." This powerful message speaks to the capacity of language to both create and destroy, and the balance that we must strive for in using words with care and intention.


Some possible interpretations of the song could include themes of vulnerability, the power dynamics of language, and the importance of communication in relationships.
