Say Something
TaDa Vinci Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know that don't you?
And i want to be heard
But i've got crickets in my shoes
Maybe a sign is what I need
To get myself off the ground
I keep chasing tumbleweed
They ask why i won't make a sound
Say it loud
Say why
Say it loud
My throat's grown hair
But not in the way it used to be
Not that I really care
I tried, but I don't see
Any reason to sit and dwell
If I'm unchanging, a little weak
At least that's what I tell myself
They ask why I don't speak
Say why
Say it loud
Say why
Say it loud
I tried
To put the words together again
I tried
I tried
To put the words together again
I tried
The lyrics of TaDa Vinci's song "Say Something" convey a sense of frustration and struggle to find one's voice and be heard. The opening lines, "Hey you have my word, You know that don't you?" suggest a desire for trust and conviction in oneself. The artist wants to express themselves and be listened to, but feels hindered by a lack of response or acknowledgment, symbolized by having "crickets in my shoes."
The suggestion of needing a sign to lift oneself off the ground indicates a search for motivation and validation. The artist feels like they are constantly chasing after something fleeting, like tumbleweed, and others question why they remain silent. This could reflect the pressure and expectation to conform to societal norms and expectations, causing the artist to question their own ability to speak out and make a difference.
The repetition of "Say why, Say it loud" throughout the song emphasizes the frustration and urgency to be heard. The line "My throat's grown hair, But not in the way it used to be" suggests that the artist may have lost their confidence and assertiveness. They no longer care about certain superficial aspects, but they still lack the reason or motivation to speak up.
The artist acknowledges their own weaknesses and the perception of being unchanging and weak, but they also recognize that they tell themselves this narrative. The song ends with the repetition of "I tried, To put the words together again" indicating the ongoing effort to find their voice and express themselves authentically.

Hey you have my word
I promise and assure you
You know that don't you?
You are aware of my promise, right?
And i want to be heard
I desire to be listened to
But i've got crickets in my shoes
I am filled with silence and hesitation
Maybe a sign is what I need
Perhaps I require a signal or indication
To get myself off the ground
To motivate myself and take action
I keep chasing tumbleweed
I continuously pursue unfulfilling things
They ask why i won't make a sound
People question why I remain silent
Say why
Tell me the reason
Say it loud
Express it clearly and emphatically
My throat's grown hair
My voice has become hoarse and neglected
But not in the way it used to be
In a different manner than before
Not that I really care
Not that I am truly concerned
I tried, but I don't see
I made an effort, but I am unable to perceive
Any reason to sit and dwell
No justification to remain idle and ponder
If I'm unchanging, a little weak
If I am stagnant and lacking strength
At least that's what I tell myself
At least that is the story I convince myself of
They ask why I don't speak
People question why I stay silent
I tried
I attempted
To put the words together again
To organize my thoughts into coherent speech
I tried
I made an effort
I tried
I attempted
To put the words together again
To arrange the words in a meaningful way
