Tongue Tied
Marshmello Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm trapped outside inside my mind
If you feel like that you're tongue tied
Then we're tongue tied together
Every morning I ride on a carousel
To the sides in my mind that I cannot help
Had to die in heaven just to get to hell
My real friends act like they don't know me
This headache's giving me a nosebleed
My silence is killing me slowly
I can't keep drowning it out and
I've been suffering and making friends with all my sins
I need saving, I need saving, you won't save me ever again
I'm feeling counterfeit, been rolling silence 'round my lips
I need saving, I need saving, you won't save me ever again
'Cause I feel my life's been so tongue tied
I'm trapped outside inside my mind
If you feel like that you're tongue tied
Then we're tongue tied together
Can you even hear me now?
Tongue tied together
Tongue tied together
Tongue tied together
Yeah, yeah
Uh, uh
You done changed, you done changed
You done switched up, fo' sho'
You ain't lose me in the summer, you lost me at hello
Anytime you see me smiling it was probably for show
All the memories are blurry, so I let 'em burn slow
I ain't seen you in a minute, where did all the time go?
You was out of pocket when you told me, "Die slow"
I was going through the shits I kept it down low
Tongue tied, tongue tied, what we had was all lies
People change, people change, people switch up
It's okay, you can't save me ever again
People change, people change, people switch up
It's okay, you can't save me
'Cause I feel my life's been so tongue tied
I'm trapped outside inside my mind (inside my mind)
If you feel like (you feel like) that you're tongue tied (uh)
Then we're tongue tied together
So can you even hear me now?
Tongue tied together
Tongue tied together
So can you even hear me now?
Tongue tied together
Tongue tied together
The lyrics of Marshmello's song Tongue Tied express feelings of being lost and isolated in one's own mind, struggling to communicate or connect with others. The opening lines, "I feel my life's been so tongue tied, I'm trapped outside inside my mind," convey a sense of disorientation and inner turmoil. The idea that "If you feel like that you're tongue tied, then we're tongue tied together" suggests that these feelings are common and perhaps a shared experience.
The next verse, "Every morning I ride on a carousel to the sides in my mind that I cannot help, had to die in heaven just to get to hell," continues the theme of feeling stuck and unable to escape from one's own thoughts. The carousel represents a cycle or pattern that the singer cannot break free from. The line "Had to die in heaven just to get to hell" suggests that perhaps the journey of self-discovery or personal growth can be difficult and painful.
The chorus repeats the theme of feeling tongue-tied but adds a note of desperation with the question, "Can you even hear me now?" The bridge changes the focus to a specific relationship in which the singer feels they have been betrayed and abandoned: "You ain't lose me in the summer, you lost me at hello." The repetition of the phrase "people change, people switch up" acknowledges the reality of changes in relationships over time.
Overall, the lyrics of Tongue Tied capture a sense of disorientation and isolation, but also hint at the possibility of connection and understanding with others who share these experiences.
