I Say Nothing
Voice of the Beehive Lyrics

I heard this girl one day.
One day I overheard a conversation occurring between two individuals.

She had these long, tight legs.
This girl was described as having attractive physical features.

She said, "I get it every night, and he calls me every day.
The girl claimed to have a sexual relationship with someone who also contacts her frequently.

He'll leave you black and blue.
This person can be physically violent and cause harm to others.

He'll rip you right in two, then wake up in the morning, and say "Who the hell are you?"
This person is emotionally and physically abusive and may not even remember you the following morning.

And then she turns to me and says "We know you. Tell us some secrets, honey. We won't say a word."
The girl asks me to share some confidential information with her and assures me it will not be spread to anyone else.

But I say nothing, I talk to no-one.
I decide not to share any personal information and remain silent.

I know what I believe. Don't need to wear it on my sleeve.
I have my own beliefs and opinions, but choose not to express them outwardly.

If we come and go alone, why do they need to know?
I question the motives behind others' desires to know personal information if we are all ultimately alone in life.

The boy who's always mad. He's just alone and sad.
There is a boy who is consistently angry and unhappy, perhaps due to being alone.

He holds my hand so tightly. He says "Go away, I'm bad.
Despite being close, this boy pushes others away because of his own feelings of inadequacy.

But it is just because I do not know how to be true.
The boy's behavior may result from a lack of understanding or acceptance of himself.

That's why I sometimes stand alone at parties.
The boy may feel uncomfortable in social settings and prefer to be by himself.

That's why I drink, so I'll be who they think I am.
To fit in and feel more comfortable, the boy turns to drinking and presenting a facade to others.

But don't say nothing. Don't talk to no-one.
The boy does not want his true self to be revealed and prefers to keep it a secret.

I'm not what they believe, and if they find out they will leave.
If others discover the boy's true self, they may not accept him and leave him behind.

Just don't say nothing. If we come and go alone, why do they need to know?
The boy questions why others need to know his true self and encourages others to remain silent about personal matters.

All those endless days of all those sci-fi slaves.
A reference to science-fiction culture and its enthrallment with futuristic ideas.

The noise is just a drag until you say close your eyes, and listen...
The distractions and chaos of daily life can be overwhelming, but focusing on the present moment can help alleviate stress.

They're singing just for you. It's swinging just for you. It's screaming just for you
A personal message suggesting that art can serve as a source of comfort and inspiration for individuals.

I'll say nothing. I'll talk to no-one.
The idea of keeping personal matters to oneself is reiterated in this line.

There is a place somewhere. Sometimes you'll find me there.
A physical or emotional place of comfort and solace is alluded to here.

And If I am alone, I will be sitting on the stairs.
Even when alone, the individual finds comfort in familiar physical settings.

I'll be as good as new. One of the lucky few, who's laughing at the joke, and as I leave I laugh for you.
Regardless of past hardships or negative experiences, the individual will always persevere and find joy in life, sharing that joy with others.

I will say nothing. I'll talk to no-one, but you.
A special connection with one person is acknowledged, indicating that despite the overall sentiment of keeping personal matters to oneself, there are important exceptions to this rule.
