Say
The Bear Fox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby I got something to say
But you never hear my words
You smiled as you walked away
Started a fire just to watch me burn
The hardest part of your flame
Is that my love for you can’t be unlearned
So baby I got something to say
C1
You say hold on
You say I’m wrong
You say that I
Am beating to a different drum
You say I’m the one
You say your done
So now Im gone
Cause I’ve been the fool all along
V2
You loved me like a broken toy
Just used me and threw me away
So I’m leaving behind your noise
Getting further everyday
Loving you isn't a choice
I’m tired of livin this way
So I’m drowning out the sound of your voice
Because tomorrow is another day
C2
Bridge
Cause I’ve been he fool all along
Oh oh oh
Cause I’ve been he fool all along
oh oh oh
Cause I’ve been he fool all along

Outro
The lyrics of The Bear Fox's song "Say" depict a relationship filled with pain, betrayal, and ultimately empowerment. In the first verse, the singer expresses frustration at not being heard by their partner, who seems indifferent to their feelings. Despite the hurt caused by their partner's actions, the singer can't shake their love for them, symbolized by a fire that consumes them. The metaphor of rising from the ashes suggests a sense of resilience and determination to make their voice heard and reclaim their agency in the relationship.
The chorus reflects the dynamics of the relationship, with the partner constantly dismissing the singer's feelings and actions, ultimately pushing them away. The singer acknowledges their own perceived shortcomings and realizes they have been deceived by their partner, leading to a decision to walk away and break free from the cycle of emotional manipulation and neglect.
In the second verse, the singer describes how they were treated as disposable and unloved, like a broken toy, by their partner. Feeling exhausted by the toxicity of the relationship, they resolve to distance themselves and prioritize their own well-being. The choice to drown out the partner's voice signifies a break from the past and a commitment to moving forward towards a brighter future.
The repetition of the chorus and bridge underscores the singer's self-realization and acceptance of their role in the unhealthy relationship. By acknowledging their own mistakes and vulnerabilities, they are able to break free from the cycle of being taken advantage of. The outro perhaps symbolizes a sense of closure and finality, signaling the end of a chapter and the beginning of a new journey towards self-discovery and empowerment. Overall, the lyrics of "Say" convey themes of resilience, self-empowerment, and the courage to break free from toxic relationships.

Baby I got something to say
I have an important message to communicate to you
But you never hear my words
Unfortunately, you choose not to listen to me
You smiled as you walked away
You showed indifference as you left
Started a fire just to watch me burn
You deliberately caused me pain and suffering
The hardest part of your flame
The most challenging aspect of dealing with your actions
Is that my love for you can’t be unlearned
I cannot erase the love I feel for you
From the ashes I will be heard
I will rise above the destruction and make my voice heard
You say hold on
Your request for me to wait and be patient
You say I’m wrong
Your accusation that I am mistaken
You say that I am beating to a different drum
You claim that I am out of sync with you
You say I’m the one
You believe that I am at fault
You say your done
You express that you are finished with me
So now I'm gone
As a result, I have chosen to leave
You loved me like a broken toy
You treated me as disposable and insignificant
Just used me and threw me away
You exploited me and discarded me without consideration
So I’m leaving behind your noise
I am moving away from the chaos and negativity you bring
Getting further everyday
Continuously distancing myself from you
Loving you isn't a choice
I can't help but have feelings for you
I’m tired of livin this way
I am exhausted from living under these conditions
So I’m drowning out the sound of your voice
I am blocking out your influence and impact on me
Because tomorrow is another day
A new opportunity for a fresh start awaits
Cause I’ve been the fool all along
Admitting that I have been deceived and foolish
Oh oh oh
Expressing anguish and realization

You see
I found this comment I left 2 years ago
It reads
‘HORRIBLE SONG’
I don’t know why though
Cause honestly
It’s sorta good
Like the idea behind it may be a bit weird and crazy
But the beat’s good
So
Past me
Why?
