Say Something
Nev Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

At first they're were no names
Figure I was tryna play you but I ain't got no game
Now you got some new man smiling in ya picture frames
But we all change
Say something to me (ohh ay)
Say something to me
Say something to appease my mind yea
Say something to make me walk away this time
All this
All this time
All this
All this time
All this

You looked at me in so much pain
As if we loved but was it in vain
Now I'm out here acting crazy
But I won't change

I hope ya Say something to me
Say something to me
Say something to appease my mind
Say something , I really don't want to walk away this time

All this (x2)





We know what our friends would say leave that man alone look the other way (x2)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nev's song "Say Something" seem to depict a situation where there was initially no commitment or attachment between the singer and the person they were interested in. The singer confesses to not having any game or strategy in trying to win them over. As time passed, the person found someone new and now their pictures together are visible, indicating that they have moved on. However, despite this change, the singer still longs for some kind of acknowledgment or response from the person they previously had feelings for. The repeated plea to "say something" is a desperate plea for the person to communicate with them, either to appease their thoughts or to provide a reason for the singer to finally walk away. The chorus emphasizes the repetition of time, possibly indicating the duration of their longing or the cycle of their emotions.


In the second verse, there is a shift in perspective. The singer describes the person looking at them with pain, hinting that there may have been love in their past, but questioning whether it was all in vain. The singer admits to acting crazy but declares that they won't change their behavior. They still hope for some response from the person, a sign that there is still a chance for them to reconcile and prevent themselves from walking away this time. The repetition of "all this" in the chorus may signify the weight of the emotions and the accumulated time that has passed without resolution.
