Without Words
Moment of Truth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is this a wave goodbye or a greeting without words
I wasn't speaking to you
It's just often times I'll up and drop your name
Believe it, I remember everything we've had in mind
I'll just say this one more time
We used to touch and let it all hang out
Whatever happened to "Let's get some."And we'd get some
But we're still climbing this ladder
Let me out so I can breath
Let me taste the sun
Let me out so I can leave everything we've aimed for
I guess I spin you around
You say that everytime you call you aint ever gettin call backs
So come on let me be
We couldn't make it longer if we tried
Make these last words a sweet goodbye
Let me out so I can breath
Let me taste the sun
Let me out so I can leave everything we've aimed for
And well maybe it hurts so bad
I know maybe it hurts so bad
The way it came out of line
Say your last lines next to me
Before you run out of air
(Before I run out of air)
Let me out so I can breath
Let me taste the sun
Let me out so I can leave everything we've aimed for
And it's all for us
The way I'm leaving it
I may be way out of line but please be waiting
Is it my fault
The way I'm leaving it
I think I need some time so please stay waiting
By Van.
The song "Without Words" by Moment of Truth seems to be about a bittersweet relationship that has reached its breaking point. The opening lines, "Would someone tell me please / Is this a wave goodbye or a greeting without words," suggest ambiguity about the state of the relationship - is it over, or is there still hope for reconciliation? The next line, "I wasn't speaking to you," reinforces this indecision; the singer isn't sure whether to move on completely or to try to salvage something with their partner.
As the song continues, the lyrics paint a picture of what the relationship used to be like. They "used to touch and let it all hang out" and "feel that we could share anything we'd say." But now, "Whatever happened to 'Let's get some' / And we'd get some"? The connection they once had has faded, and they're still "climbing this ladder" toward some undefined goal.
Throughout the song, the singer repeats the plea to "Let me out so I can breath / Let me taste the sun / Let me out so I can leave everything we've aimed for." They want to move on from this relationship and find a sense of independence and freedom. But at the same time, there's a sense of reluctance to completely let go - "I may be way out of line but please be waiting / I think I need some time so please stay waiting." The relationship may be over, but the singer isn't quite ready to say goodbye yet.
Overall, "Without Words" explores the complexities of a relationship that has reached its end. The singer is torn between their desire to move on and their reluctance to let go, and the lyrics capture this push and pull with emotional honesty.
