Write It Down
Nine Lashes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Such loss of time and it's still the same
They'll raise the questions
But they'll kill the answers
Write it down
Scream it aloud
There's so many deafened ears
So dead in wrong
Cause simple is as simple goes
If only the deaf would hear
Focus found the center once again
Just remember the change is all there is
Cause they'll break the questions on me
Till I give the answer
Write it down
Scream it aloud
Don't let it go
There's so many deafened ears
So dead in wrong
Cause simple is as simple goes
If only the deaf would hear
I can make the sound
They can't hear me
If I state the obvious, I'm alone
Wrapped up in all this on my own
Write it down
Scream it aloud
Don't let it go
There's so many deafened ears
So dead in wrong
Cause simple is as simple goes
If only the deaf would hear
The lyrics of Nine Lashes's "Write It Down" tell a story of frustration with the lack of change or progress despite waiting for it to happen. The singer has experienced a lot of loss of time and things are still the same as they were before. Despite raising questions, they don't seem to get any answers or solutions that could bring the desired change. The singer encourages himself to write it down and scream it aloud so that he doesn't let it go, but it seems like there are too many deafened ears out there. The simple truth is that change is needed, and if only those who refuse to listen could hear, things could improve. The last part of the song reveals the isolation that comes with trying to make a change in a world that seems to resist it. Stating the obvious seems to be futile when nobody is listening.

I've been waiting for things to change
I've been hoping for a positive development in life
Such loss of time and it's still the same
I've been wasting my life without any improvement
They'll raise the questions
People will ask queries
But they'll kill the answers
But they will reject or ignore the responses
Write it down
Put your thoughts into writing
Scream it aloud
Express it vocally and loudly
Don't let it go
Don't suppress your ideas or feelings
There's so many deafened ears
There are too many people who refuse to listen
So dead in wrong
Completely wrong in their beliefs
Cause simple is as simple goes
The truth is often straightforward
If only the deaf would hear
If only the resistant people would listen
Focus found the center once again
My thoughts are clear and centered
Just remember the change is all there is
Remember that change is the only constant
Cause they'll break the questions on me
People will continue to ask me questions
Till I give the answer
Until I provide a satisfactory response
I can make the sound
I have the ability to communicate
They can't hear me
But others refuse to listen
If I state the obvious, I'm alone
If I say what is clearly true, I am isolated
Wrapped up in all this on my own
I am trapped in this situation alone

@riskygamiing
Why is it that every christian rock band has such a volatile comment section? I'm not very religious myself, but i don't see any immediate religious references that jump out to me when listening to these songs, so i don't really know why it bugs anybody.Â
@scads2155
Same here. I just listen because it's good music. Lyrics help but what's the point of completely focusing on the lyrics.Â
@pghe1
at my idea cristian rock got just the morale nothing else
@WanderingKit
A very vocal minority of people who like debating religion flock to the comments to debate.

THESE LYRICS ARE WRONG. IT SAYS 'THERES SO MANY DABBING DEERS' NOT DEAFENED EARS
@MyKeyOFCL
i still stand by this statement one year later.
@ProdiGyBelgium
Wherever i go, it's always the same... Debate on religions instead of enjoying awesome songs like this one together...
