VOICE
The Disco Boys feat. Midge Ure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All speech directed to me
I've heard them once before
I know that feeling
Stranger emotions in mind
Changing the contours I find
I've seen them once before
Chorus:
O O O O
The look and the sound of the voice
O O O O
They try, they try
O O O O
The shape and the power of the voice
O O O O
In strong low tones
Forceful and twisting again
Wasting the perfect remains
I've felt it once before
Slipping over me
(Chorus)
Sweetly the voices decay
Draw on the lines that they say
I'd lost it once before
Now it cries to me
(Chorus)
The Disco Boys feat. Midge Ure's "The Voice" is an emotionally powerful and evocative song that centers on the idea that the way a person's voice sounds and the words they speak can have a profound impact on another individual. The chorus repeats the refrain "O O O O" and emphasizes the "look and the sound" of the voice, stressing its "shape and the power" and how it can affect listeners "in strong low tones."
The first few verses introduce the idea that the singer has heard these words and emotions before, indicating a sense of familiarity and perhaps even nostalgia. The reference to "someone cries to me" suggests that the singer has empathy for others and is sensitive to their emotions. The final verse describes the voices as sweetly decaying, drawing on lines that follow a pattern. This can be interpreted as a commentary on how society can condition people to speak and behave in certain ways, leading to a loss of individuality.
Overall, "The Voice" is a reflective song that encourages listeners to pay attention to the power of their words and how they sound when spoken. It's a reminder that words can have a lasting impact on those who hear them and that we should use our voices to uplift and inspire others.
