The Weight
Seaweed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time is out , it's not that long
Cease to shout , see you were wrong
Now
When , words could not defend

Say no more
Final thoughts could be unspoken
Unlike before
The little fingers of your hand
Filled away , to look upon in your convenience
Now that you say
I understand the card's in hand
Sand of time , pile the floor
Swept away , pages tore , block it out
But can't ignore the weight

Raise your eyes , up to the sky
Pink and blue , looks like it's paint
Time , when , empty handed friends

Say no more
Final thoughts could be unspoken
Unlike before
The little fingers of your hand
Filled away , to look upon in your convenience
Now that you say
I understand the card's in hand
Sand of time , pile the floor




Swept away , pages tore , block it out
But can't ignore the weight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Seaweed's song The Weight seem to be about the passing of time and the weight of one's actions and mistakes. The first verses suggest that time is running out and that shouting or defending oneself won't do any good. The words are no longer enough to make things right, and the singer seems to regret something that has happened. The chorus repeats the idea that final thoughts could go unspoken, implying that there are things left unsaid and unresolved, and that the weight of these things cannot be ignored.


The second verse talks about the beauty of the sky but juxtaposes this with the idea of empty-handed friends, perhaps referring to the lack of support or help the singer has received. The little fingers of one's hand, perhaps referring to memories or small things, have been filled away, conveniently forgotten until they resurface. The last lines repeat the idea of the sand of time piling up, pages being swept away, and the weight being impossible to ignore.


Overall, the song seems to be about coming to terms with the weight of past mistakes and the struggle to move on despite the burden. The lyrics suggest a sense of regret, pain and isolation, but also a glimmer of hope, as if the singer is ready to face the weight and move forward.
