Speak No Evil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want the world
To stop spinning
And throw you into
Outer space
I want to be the reign of terror
I'll be the judge you'll have to face
If you can
Stand your ground
If you can
You can't hurt me I took your hook
There's no more cheeks to be turned
I want to live my life, want to live my life
The way that I want to
I can't lose my mind, I won't give my life to you
I can't live my life, I can't live my life
With you breathing down my neck
I want the ground
To start shaking
And open up to swallow you
I want to see the fear in your eyes
As you are falling through
And your falling too fast to catch
Falling too fast to catch
You can't hurt me I took your hook
Now there's no more cheeks to be turned
I want to live my life, want to live my life
The way that I want to
I can't lose my mind, I won't give my life to you
I can't live my life, I can't live my life
The way you want me to
I can't lose my mind life, I can't live my life
With you breathing down my neck
I want to live
I want to live
I want to live
I want to live
I want to live
I want to live my life, want to live my life
The way that I want to
I can't lose my mind, I won't give my life to you
I can't live my life, I can't live my life
The way you want me to
I can't live my life I can't live my life
With you breathing down my neck
The song "Live My Life" by Speak No Evil is about standing up to someone who is controlling and suffocating, and declaring the desire to live life on one's own terms. The lyrics express a sense of frustration and anger towards the person who is trying to hold the singer back. The opening line, "I can't live with you breathing down my neck" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer wants to be free from the constraints of this person's influence. They use strong imagery, like wanting to throw the person into outer space, and have the ground swallow them up, to illustrate the intensity of their feelings.
The chorus serves as a rallying cry for the singer to take control of their life, and not allow this person to dictate how they live. They say "I want to live my life, want to live my life, the way that I want to," and repeat this several times, driving home the importance of individual freedom. The lines "I can't lose my mind, I won't give my life to you" further reinforce the idea that the singer will not allow themselves to be controlled by this person. The song ends with a repetition of "I want to live," emphasizing the importance of autonomy and living without fear.
Line by Line Meaning
I can't live with you breathing down my neck
I can't tolerate your constant presence and interference in my personal affairs
I want the world
To stop spinning
And throw you into
Outer space
I wish everything would pause so that I could do away with you
I want to be the reign of terror
I'll be the judge you'll have to face
I desire to rule and dispense my own brand of justice on you
So stand your ground
If you can
Stand your ground
If you can
If you think you can handle my wrath, be strong enough to face me
You can't hurt me I took your hook
There's no more cheeks to be turned
I am immune to your tricks and I won't put up with any more of your abuses
I want the ground
To start shaking
And open up to swallow you
I want to see the fear in your eyes
As you are falling through
And your falling too fast to catch
Falling too fast to catch
I yearn for the earth to split and engulf you and then watch you fall too quickly for rescue, experiencing your ultimate fear
I want to live my life, want to live my life
The way that I want to
I can't lose my mind, I won't give my life to you
I can't live my life, I can't live my life
With you breathing down my neck
I demand to live my life as I see fit, without losing my sanity or sacrificing my freedom because of your constant interference
I want to live
I want to live
I want to live
I want to live
I want to live
I desire to live fully with independence and joy
I can't live my life, I can't live my life
The way you want me to
I can't live my life I can't live my life
With you breathing down my neck
I refuse to live life under your coercion and micromanagement, always watching my every move

@CraigPhilipMyBeer
This is an awesome band. Their first album sounds more hard rock/post-grunge while this album has more nu-metal influence. It's a shame they aren't well-known. Are they still around?
