Wilmont
The Love Language Lyrics

The lyrics to The Love Language's song Wilmont are a mix of melancholy and hope. The opening lines suggest that the singer has been made a foolish offer by someone, possibly a lover, but they met them halfway anyway. The next line, "What doesn't make you softer can only make you mean," implies that the singer may have hurt themselves by doing so, or that they have made a mistake. The next verse shifts to the singer's desire to be noticed by someone, possibly the same person from earlier, because they have a big heart to feed. The image of ringing in the singer's ear without any melody suggests a sense of disorientation or confusion in their thoughts.

The chorus brings up the image of a torn page from a diary, as if the singer has taken something very personal from someone else. They place it on a windowsill to trace the blooming lilacs, but none of them will stay still. This could represent the fleeting nature of beauty or happiness in life. The last line of the chorus is particularly poignant: "And you want me to haunt you, but you started sprouting your wings." This suggests that the singer's desire to cling to someone may be holding them back, but the other person has grown or changed in a way that makes it impossible for the singer to do so. The final line, "I could lie to love you but my mockingbird's gonna sing," implies that the singer may have to be honest with themselves and with others about their true feelings, even if it is painful.
