The Speaks are completely redefining the global image of rock music - shattering
stereotypes, making believers out of naysayers, destroying everything in their
path, and acquiring legions of new fans every single step along the way. From
winning every major music competition they’ve entered, to rocking crowds of
25,000+ people, to gaining major support from DC101 (one of the most influential
radio stations in the country) -- The Speaks are easily shaping up to be one of the
most exciting, talked about rock bands to hit the music scene in years.

If you had to try and characterize these “rockstars-in-training”
take the explosive live stage show of Velvet Revolver, add the eternal
rock/anthemic appeal of Pearl Jam, and throw in the raw & emotional lyrical
intensity of the Foo Fighters for good measure. In a changing new world where
music seems to be erasing any existing racial boundaries, The Speaks -- whose
members are all American-born, but of Asian heritage“ are poised to further prove
that music is, indeed, the one true universal language.

Much like Jimi Hendrix, Living Color, Sevendust and Hootie and the Blowfish
(c’mon admit it, when you first heard their music, you thought Hootie was a
white dude!) have all changed the face of rock -- and Eminem and The Beastie
Boys have changed the face of rap -- The Speaks are opening people’s minds and
broaden peoples’ horizons with their driving, emotion-filled music in a unique,
unprecedented package. Find out why industry people and fans alike are saying
they are the next stage in musical evolution!

The Speaks’ amazing live performances and infectious sound have created a loyal
and dedicated following within the local, national, and international music scene
with fans all across the globe, the numbers are growing fast in the tens of
thousands. Over the past 6 years, they have outlasted numerous growing pains
to hone their craft and establish their current line-up. This knack for hard work
has paid off for the band in January 2005, The Speaks acquired an international
distribution deal overseas with Warner Music (Asia), with re-release of their
independently-produced album “Life’s a Joke” in April 2005. Constant radio airplay,
supported by two popular musicvideos in regular rotation on MTV Asia and MYX
Music Channel, have established the band as one of the breakthrough acts of this
year and it’s only a matter of time before record labels, and the rest of the world,
takes notice.

Bizarre Love Triangle
The Speaks Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time i think of you
I get a shot right through into a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine, but it's a problem i find
Living a life that i can't leave behind

There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes and it's what nobody knows

And every day my confusion grows

Every time i see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that i can't say

I feel fine and i feel good
I feel like i never should
Whenever i get this way, i just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday

I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself that if i hurt someone else
Then i'll never see just what we're meant to be

Every time i see you falling i'll
Get down on my knees and pray;
I'm waiting for the final moment you'll
Say the words that i can't say.

The first verse highlights the intensity of the feelings he has for his love interest, describing getting a "shot right through into a bolt of blue" every time he thinks of them.

The second verse describes how futile it is to try and talk to someone about the complexities of love. The singer suggests that even though he knows it's foolish to put his trust in love, he is still waiting for that "final moment" when his love interest reciprocates his feelings. He believes that this is the only time he'll finally be able to express himself freely. The last verse expresses the confusion and frustration of the singer. He admits that he doesn't know what his love interest truly means to him, and he's unsure about what the future holds for their relationship.

Overall, The Speaks' "Bizarre Love Triangle" interprets the inexplicable nature of human emotions and the pain that comes with it. The singer's story is one that many people can relate to as they navigate through the complexities of love and relationships.

Line by Line Meaning

Every time I think of you
I am reminded of you often

I get a shot right through into a bolt of blue
I feel an intense emotion when I think of you

It's no problem of mine, but it's a problem I find
I am not directly responsible, but it still troubles me

Living a life that I can't leave behind
I am stuck with certain aspects of my life

There's no sense in telling me the wisdom of a fool won't set you free
I don't want to hear advice that won't help me

But that's the way that it goes and it's what nobody knows
Life can be unpredictable and we can't always understand it

And every day my confusion grows
I become more and more perplexed

Every time I see you falling
When I see you struggling

I get down on my knees and pray
I hope for the best for you

I'm waiting for that final moment
I am anticipating a certain situation

You say the words that I can't say
You express something that I can't articulate

I feel fine and I feel good
I am currently content

I feel like I never should
But there is something causing me to feel uneasy

Whenever I get this way, I just don't know what to say
I struggle to communicate when I am in this state

Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I wish we didn't have to put up facades and could be genuine like we used to

I'm not sure what this could mean
I am uncertain of the situation

I don't think you're what you seem
I have doubts about your true nature

I do admit to myself that if I hurt someone else
I acknowledge the possibility of causing harm to others

Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
I fear that our true potential will never be realized

Every time I see you falling, I'll
Whenever I see you struggle, I will

Get down on my knees and pray;
Ask for your well-being

I'm waiting for the final moment you'll
I am anticipating the decisive moment when you will

Say the words that I can't say.
Articulate something that I cannot express
