Swing
Tabitha's Secret Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Still don't mean nothin', was written on the concrete
The words weren't on my tongue, cause we don't talk about it
Day or no evenin', fashion or superman
Just little warped people, with little black minds

Well I wasn't sure just what to think, say the lights went out,
Somebody, somebody swing
Don't want to, don't want to talk anymore
Somebody swing, don't want to talk no... no

What if we're tainted, who can we lie to
What if we're dying, would you just walk around it

Well I wasn't sure just what to think, say the lights went out,
Somebody, somebody swing

Don't want to, don't want to talk anymore
Bring boy, can you bring me down
Can you swing
Don't want to, don't want to talk anymore

Shut your violence, keep your head down, watch your anger boy, realize you could lose
This is violence, look for reason, this don't have to make sense to anybody at all, then everybody, won't you swing

No still don't mean nothin', words written all over the concrete
All over the concrete, rage gets you out, so you swing

Don't want to, don't want to talk anymore
Bring boy, can you bring me down
Can you swing
Don't want to, don't want to talk anymore

Don't want to, don't want to talk anymore
Bring boy, can you bring me down




Can you swing
Don't want to, don't want to talk anymore

Overall Meaning

The song "Swing" by Tabitha's Secret is a thought-provoking and introspective song. The lyrics seem to comment on the complexities of human communication and the struggle for understanding and connection in a world that can be violent and harsh. The repeated phrase "don't want to talk anymore" suggests a frustration with language and the limitations it presents in truly conveying emotions and experiences.


The first verse begins with the phrase "Still don't mean nothin', was written on the concrete," which seems to suggest a sense of futility in trying to understand or convey meaning through words. The following line, "The words weren't on my tongue, cause we don't talk about it," reinforces this idea and implies that there are some things that are too difficult or painful to discuss openly. The second half of the verse introduces the concept of "little warped people, with little black minds," which could be interpreted as a commentary on the narrow-mindedness and intolerance in society.


The chorus asks for "somebody to swing," which could be seen as a call to action or a plea for release from the frustration and burden of communication. The verses continue to explore the idea of language and its limitations, touching on themes of violence, anger, and the struggle for empathy and understanding.


Overall, "Swing" seems to be a reflection on the difficulty of truly connecting with others and the search for a way to transcend the limitations of language and understanding in order to achieve a sense of unity and peace.

The words written everywhere still don't hold any significance


Rage gets you out, so you swing
We tend to lash out in anger, which leads to shaking things up
