What Did You Say
U-KISS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even though
It was always broken
Maybe that’s what really happens
When you hold
Something close
You can
Call me victim
'Cause I found the upper hand
While I was under your thumb
I’d hang up your problems
When you needed help
Now you have someone else
'Cause you can’t stand
To be with yourself
And I’m okay
I’m alright
Despite what you did
Despite what you’d like
I’m okay
It’s kinda trite
But despite what you did
And what you’d like
I’m alright
Ah Ah Aight
Hold up now I’m countin’
All these Mistakes
See I’m doubtin’
That you loved me
You tore me
Chase my demons down with whisky
Yeah go on now
Oh wow
Go two step wit that dude now
Trick, I gave it all
I’m tipsy
No no need to get frisky
I just came to have a good time
Sit yo bottom down wit that wine
I can tell just how you lookin’
From across the room
That you lyin’
To your home girls
It’s on girl
Spread that gossip
All you want girl
'Cause karma comes around
And goes around
Where you go
Girl you got me feelin'
Like I’m late for the ball
I turn my hat
And look to only see you
(Thats crazy)
But I’m Oh
Kay
I’m alright
Despite what you did
Despite what you’d like
I’m okay
It’s kinda trite
But despite what you did
And what you’d like
I’m alright
Ah Ah Aight
Now I seen you from afar
Handlin' shots from the bar
Doin' just what ya do with newbies
Playin'em like a guitar
Jealousy ain't in my heart
And I know it
Better to live and let live
Thats the motive
Callin' me out
Callin' you bluff
Thick in you head
Think that you tough
Ay
I'm kickin my past
I'm hittin the gas
I'm up wit it fast
No longer yo puppet, Gapeto
Quit talkin'
I'm poppin' a bottle
Remindin' myself I'm much better
Without you
I know what you did
I seen what you do
I been there before, had me like a fool
I'm out here
And I'm rockin'
Dance away on the floor
Because no matter
How the night goes
Know ya can't take away
My attitude
At all them parties
At the end of the day
'Cause I'm Oh
Kay
I’m alright
Despite what you did
Despite what you’d like
I’m okay
It’s kinda trite
But despite what you did
And what you’d like
I’m alright
Ah Ah Aight
You Had
Me
In the hold
Of your arms
I Say You Say
We Don't Say
How
We Count down
The clock
Til the
Scars become stars
I'm fine
It's alright I'm ok
Kay
It’s kinda trite
But despite what you did
And what you’d like
I’m alright
Ah Ah Aight
The lyrics of U-KISS's song "What Did You Say" convey a sense of resilience and empowerment after a tumultuous relationship. The opening lines suggest that the other person's phone received more attention, even though it was always broken, symbolizing how they prioritized something broken over the singer. The singer acknowledges the power dynamics in the relationship, being under the other person's control ("under your thumb"), but eventually finding the upper hand and reclaiming their independence.
The chorus repeatedly proclaims that the singer is okay and alright despite what the other person did and what they may desire. The repetition reinforces their confidence and refusal to be affected by the past. The second verse delves into the singer's realization and liberation from the other person's manipulative behavior. It showcases their growth and ability to overcome the emotional turmoil caused by the relationship.
Overall, "What Did You Say" is a song about moving on from a toxic relationship, finding strength, and refusing to be defined by someone else's actions or desires. It encourages self-empowerment and emphasizes the importance of prioritizing one's own well-being.
Line by Line Meaning
Your phone got more attention
Your phone received more attention than me
Even though
Despite the circumstances
It was always broken
It was consistently malfunctioning
Maybe that’s what really happens
Perhaps that is the reality of the situation
When you hold
When you cherish and value
Something close
Something that is important to you
You can Call me victim
You can label me as the one who was harmed
Call me villain
You can label me as the one at fault
'Cause I found the upper hand
Because I gained advantage over you
While I was under your thumb
While I was under your control and influence
I’d hang up your problems
I would disregard and dismiss your issues
When you needed help
When you required assistance
Now you have someone else
Now you have found another person
'Cause you can’t stand
Because you cannot tolerate
To be with yourself
To spend time alone
And I’m okay
And I am fine
I’m alright
I am doing well
Despite what you did
Regardless of your actions
Despite what you’d like
Despite your desires
It’s kinda trite
It may seem cliché
Ah Ah Aight
Ah Ah Alright
Hold up now I’m countin’
Wait a moment, now I am calculating
All these Mistakes
All these errors or wrongdoings
See I’m doubtin’
I am skeptical or uncertain
That you loved me
That you ever truly cared for me
You tore me
You broke me apart emotionally
Chase my demons down with whisky
Attempt to escape my inner struggles using alcohol
Yeah go on now
Yes, continue with your actions
Oh wow
Expressing surprise or sarcasm
Go two step wit that dude now
Dance closely with that guy now
Trick, I gave it all
Fool, I gave everything
I’m tipsy
I am slightly intoxicated
No no need to get frisky
No, there is no need to be overly flirtatious
I just came to have a good time
I only came here to enjoy myself
Sit yo bottom down wit that wine
Sit down with your glass of wine
I can tell just how you lookin’
I can perceive your intentions from your appearance
From across the room
From a distance in this space
That you lyin’
That you are being dishonest
To your home girls
To your female friends
It’s on girl
You can spread that gossip freely
Spread that gossip
Share those rumors
All you want girl
As much as you desire
'Cause karma comes around
Because the consequences of one's actions eventually return
And goes around
And circulates
Where you go
Wherever you may be
Girl you got me feelin'
Girl, you have made me feel
Like I’m late for the ball
As if I am running behind schedule for a special occasion
I turn my hat
I adjust my hat or change my attitude
And look to only see you
And see that you are the only one
(That's crazy)
(That's unbelievable or surprising)
But I’m Oh Kay
But I am doing okay
I’m alright
I am fine
Now I seen you from afar
Now I have observed you from a distance
Handlin' shots from the bar
Drinking and handling alcoholic drinks from the bar counter
Doin' just what ya do with newbies
Engaging in your typical behavior with newcomers
Playin'em like a guitar
Manipulating them easily
Jealousy ain't in my heart
I am not feeling jealous
And I know it
And I am aware of it
Better to live and let live
It is best to allow others to live their lives as they choose
That's the motive
That is the intention or purpose
Callin' me out
Challenging or confronting me
Callin' you bluff
Questioning the truthfulness of your statements or actions
Thick in your head
Dense or slow to understand
Think that you tough
Believing that you are strong or powerful
Ay
Hey
I'm kickin my past
I am moving on from my past
I'm hittin the gas
I am accelerating and moving forward
I'm up wit it fast
I am progressing quickly
No longer yo puppet, Gapeto
I am no longer your puppet, I have broken free from your control
Quit talkin'
Stop talking
I'm poppin' a bottle
I am opening a bottle
Remindin' myself I'm much better
Reaffirming that I am far superior
Without you
In your absence
I know what you did
I am aware of your actions
I seen what you do
I have witnessed what you do
I been there before, had me like a fool
I have experienced it before, making me feel foolish
I'm out here
I am out in this world
And I'm rockin'
And I am thriving or doing well
Dance away on the floor
Move and dance freely on the dance floor
Because no matter
Regardless of the situation
How the night goes
What happens during the evening
Know ya can’t take away
Know that you cannot remove
My attitude
My mindset or demeanor
At all them parties
At all those gatherings or celebrations
At the end of the day
Ultimately or when everything is considered
'Cause I'm Oh Kay
Because I am okay
I’m alright
I am fine
Despite what you did
Regardless of your actions
Despite what you’d like
Regardless of your desires
It’s kinda trite
It may seem cliché
Ah Ah Aight
Ah Ah Alright
You Had Me In the hold Of your arms
You had complete control over me
I Say You Say We Don't Say
We do not communicate openly with each other
How We Count down The clock
How we eagerly await
Til the Scars become stars
Until our wounds turn into something beautiful
I'm fine
I am okay
It's alright I'm ok
Everything is alright, I am okay
Kay
Okay

I'm telling you nothing is impossible
What do you need for your life？
どうしても抑えきれない情熱は 孤独も吹き飛ばす
さぁ聞こえ始めた本当の声に 身を委ねながら Let's fly high
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
たとえ欠片でも全てのwishが 世界を変える 未来を描く
“昨日より今日、今日より明日...”と 前に倒した重心で保ってる
バランスだけが僕を生かしてる 時代は誰にも選べないから
何故に信じられない？ 判断するのは一体誰だい？
一度きりの人生だって 君を作れるのは君だけ
高くそびえる壁だとしても きっと乗り越えるか、突き破るしか
答えはないと僕は知ってるのさ 向かい風なら高く翔べるはず
歩き疲れただろう 諦めるのは簡単だろう
Wonder do or not なら進もう 今も希望は輝く頭上
アスファルトに咲いた 花のように強くStay yourself
Every Single One of You 恐がらないで
ふかく深呼吸 そしてGo ahead again
Every Single One of You 明日に向かって 誰もにひそむ可能性は美しい
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah たとえ僅かでも 全てのStepが軌跡に変わる
ひたすら前へ 未来をつかめ
他の誰かと比べてみても 何一つとして同じものは無い
ただの容器(いれもの)なら それを活かすだけ 僕の心は自由と生きる
干からびた化石のように 存在するのはIt's so boring
無駄だとしてもRollin' Rollin' 君にも出来るのさ 願い通り
取り残されたのは 君じゃなく、退屈な世界
Every Single One of You 恐がらないで
ふかく深呼吸 そしてGo ahead again
Every Single One of You 明日に向かって 誰もにひそむ可能性は美しい
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah たとえ微かでも 全てのTryが常識を壊す
今をふりきれ 未来をつかめ
どうしても抑えきれない情熱は 孤独も吹き飛ばす
さぁ聞こえ始めた本当の声に 身を委ねながら Let's fly high
Every Single One of You 恐がらないで
ふかく深呼吸 そしてGo ahead again
Every Single One of You 明日に向かって 誰もにひそむ可能性は美しい
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah たとえ僅かでも 全てのStepが軌跡に変わる
ひたすら前へ 未来をつかめ

@Satella no, but some music videos in Japan (PV) are not full in YouTube. That's because you have to buy the CD and that's how you can enjoy It full ver.
