Things Left Unsaid
Pink Floyd Lyrics

We certainly have an unspoken understanding
Ah, but a lot of things unsaid as well

We shout and argue and fight, and work it on out

The sum is greater than the parts




Overall Meaning

Pink Floyd's song "Things Left Unsaid" is an introspective exploration of the unspoken communication and understanding between people. It speaks to the idea that people can have a deep unspoken understanding of one another, even without speaking a word, but despite this understanding, there can still be a lot of things left unsaid. The lyrics suggest that this is a common human experience, where individuals may hold back from expressing their true feelings or thoughts, leading to tension and conflicts that must be worked out in other ways, like shouting or arguing. By creating this sense of tension and uncertainty, the lyrics encourage listeners to examine their own relationships and reflect on the things that might be left unsaid between them and their loved ones.


Line by Line Meaning

We certainly an unspoken understanding
We have a mutual understanding that goes beyond words


Ah but there's a lot of things unsaid as well
Despite our unspoken understanding, there are many important things that we fail to communicate


We shout and argue and fight, and work it on out
We resort to yelling and fighting instead of having open and honest communication to resolve our issues

Lettera al vento.

E' cosi che ti scrivo,
a ricordarti che esisti.
Tu che sei ormai immagine
Fissa sui miei occhi.
Tu che non sai nulla di me.
Vivi dentro il mio sangue
E come cellula impazzita
Mi attraversi il corpo
E sei nutrimento
Del mio amore muto.
Anima dalle morbide curve
Mi inebri .
Vorrei dirti parole di fuoco,
Vorrei accarezzarti il viso
Vorrei specchiarmi negli occhi
Come fosse in un lago
Sulla vetta dei monti.
Vorrei il tuo calore
Il tuo profumo
Il tuo corpo
L' anima e la mente.
Vorrei toccarti il cuore
Ma ,
Non ti diro' mai
Cosa io provo.
Le mie parole sono mute
La mia mente
Esulta all' incontro della tua mente.
Io scrivo...
Io ti comunico
Quanto di bello c'e' in me.
E di questo mio grande amore.
Ma, se tu
Guardi il cielo stellato
E concentri la mente
Sull'astro piu' luminoso
E li che mi trovi.
Io sono l' Universo invisibile
Irraggiungibile,
Luminoso e schivo.
Sono il poeta
Dei sogni
E dei desideri reconditi
Nascosto nel buio
Di una vita
Evaporata
In questo mio universo
Di sabbia e di mare.
Il tuo nome
E' il richiamo
Del mio Eros
Che brama e divora
Lo spazio e il tempo
Infinito.
Molecola divina
Attraversi l' arteria
E vai dritta al mio
Cuore.
Tu uccidi la stella
Che in me
Vive.
Perpetuo e ' il tempo
Immenso il mio
Amore.

This song feels like all my ancestors gathering around me and telling me Everything is going to be OK

@maryfayard-newman9230

That’s quite beautiful. There was a man who had a Near Death Experience back in the 90’s I believe, wrote a book called “Fast Lane to Heaven” by Ned Dougherty and he said that basically the same thing you did.. give that book a read, you’ll enjoy it!

Ooh! I love this!!

@randyorr9443

That statement made me cry.
But that is exactly what's happening.
The universe is speaking directly to us through Floyd.
Stunning, sublime, powerful, gentle and poignant.
It Feels like my soul may already be there

Sometimes I feel like the Floyd could've actually changed the entire world. It changed mine. If their music transcends time and the words have the ability to heal.. Where did we go wrong..we could have had peace. Love. Compassion. I'm changing my life. I'm going to stop beating myself to death with unhappiness and start walking in in the light. Who's with me

@rushabjain792
