The Doves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't let them throw it asway
'Cause inside something solid gold
so don't let them throw it away
Words they mean nothing
so you can't hurt me
I said words they mean nothing
So you can't stop me
Words they meant nothing
So you can't hurt me
I said words they mean nothing
So you can't stop me
I said your eyes, they say nothing
So you can't hurt me
On summer days like these
I said words they mean nothing
So you can't hurt me
Follow your own path from here
So don't listen to what they say
Cause inside you've a heart of gold
So don't let them take this away
Words they meant nothing
So you can't hurt me
On summer days like these
I said words they mean nothing
So you can't stop me
On summer days like these
I said your eyes, they say nothing
So you can't fault me
I said words they mean nothing
So you can't hurt me
Inside a heart of pure soul
A sun rising and falling away, like your soul
Cause here comes something wonderful
So don't let them throw it away
Words they meant nothing
So you can't hurt me
On summer days like these
I said words they mean nothing
So you can't stop me
On summer days like these
I said your eyes, they say nothing
So you can't stop me
On summer days like these
I said words they mean nothing
So you can't hurt me
The Doves' "Words" is a powerful and uplifting song about the resilience of the human spirit. The lyrics emphasize the importance of following one's heart and not allowing anyone to diminish one's worth or potential. The song opens with the line, "Inside's a heart of summer soul," which could be interpreted as a metaphor for a bright and warm spirit that is capable of persevering through difficult times. The following line, "Don't let them throw it away," suggests that there may be external forces or people who want to undermine or belittle this spirit.
The chorus of the song reinforces this notion, with the repeated mantra that "Words they mean nothing, so you can't hurt me." This line is empowering because it acknowledges that while people may say hurtful things, those words have no power unless the listener allows them to have power. The idea of "following your own path" despite naysayers is also emphasized in the lyrics.
Overall, "Words" is a song that encourages strength, self-confidence, and perseverance. It is a reminder that no matter what obstacles or negative people come our way, we have the power to rise above and stay true to ourselves.

A very beautiful song from Geek Charming. Geek Charming is my favorite movie and best of all it has a happy ending. The movie has a good message: don't be afraid to be who you are (don't be afraid to be yourself).
