Say Anything
Nathan Gray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you need some time before you start
'Cause I've been noticing what you ignore
Like it's not knock knock knocking at your front door
Over and over we hit this wall say anything please say anything at all
Over and over we rise and fall say anything please say anything at all
Are you too scared of what you'll find
There's a great big world out there for you to see
Where you can speak and set it free
Let it all go keep on moving...
In Nathan Gray's song Say Anything, the lyrics speak of the frustration one feels when their partner isn't able to express their thoughts and emotions. The first verse speaks of this frustration, with the singer asking if their partner needs some time before they're able to open up about what's been weighing on their heart. They've been noticing what their partner is ignoring, almost like there's something knocking at their front door that they're desperately trying to avoid. The chorus highlights the repetition of this situation, with the singer begging their partner to 'say anything' - to open up and speak their mind, no matter what the outcome may be.
The second verse offers a potential solution to this problem, suggesting that a change of pace or change of mind might allow their partner to see the 'great big world' out there waiting for them. They encourage their partner to speak and set themselves free, rather than keeping their thoughts and emotions bottled up. The chorus is repeated, with the same sense of frustration and desperation lingering throughout the song.
Overall, the lyrics speak to the importance of open communication in a relationship, and the frustration that can come from feeling like you're constantly hitting a wall with someone who isn't able to express themselves. It's a heartfelt plea for honesty and vulnerability, and the haunting melody perfectly captures the sense of despair and longing in the lyrics.

here are the lyrics for the chorus:
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love (people on streets) dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure

Nathan Gray is, in my personal opinion. one of the most genuine and original musicians and lyricists on the scene currently. It's a shame that he doesn't fall into this backwards society's idea of "music" (which, let's be honest, is lazy uncreative trash). He deserves so much more recognition. A man this gifted with only 1.29k subscribers? Shame on you, modern society.
