Will Heggadon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know they will be waiting in line
But they're pulling him under.
When I'm in his shoes I feel the same
Open my mind out from the shade.
They'll be pulling me under
Am I getting the feeling it's my time?
Cos I can't see when it's too late
I'm pointing me out though
I'm starting to feel that it's alright
Cos I can't see when it's too late
And oooooh oooooh ooohh
And say you hear me and say you don't.
Well I'm on my own, I'm on my own.
I've been thinking cos I know they won't.
Well I'll take control I'll take control.
With tired eyes and restless nights
But I know that I'll be seeing it through.
If I move slowly
Well I can only be the water to your roots if you let me in
And you're pointing me out though
Am I getting the feeling it's my time
Cos I can't see when it's too late
You're pointing me out though
I'm starting to feel that it's alright
Cos I can't see when it's too late.
And ooooh oooh oooohh
And say you hear me and say you don't
Well I'm on my own I'm on my own
I've been thinking cos I know they won't.
Well I'll take control I'll take control.
And take me take love now
I can feel their judging eyes on me.
Well say you hear me and say you don't.
Well I'm on my own I'm on my own.
Say you hear me and say you don't
Well I'm on my own I'm on my own.
Well I've been thinking cos I know they won't.
Well I'll take control I'll take control.
And take me take love now
I can feel their judging eyes on me.
Say you hear me and say you don't
Well I'm on my own I'm on my own.
Well I'm on my own I'm on my own.
In "Say," Will Heggadon sings about feeling the pressure and scrutiny of society and the fear of being judged or rejected. The first verse uses vivid imagery to describe a person falling forward and being pulled under, suggesting the struggle to keep up with the demands and expectations of others. The chorus revolves around the singer's desire for acknowledgement, yet acknowledging that he feels alone (on his own) and tired from the burden of being noticed. In the second verse, the singer admits to feeling lost, needing to take control and make decisions based on his intuition - represented in the metaphor of being the water to someone's roots. The song ends with the repeated phrase "Take me, take love now," which could be interpreted as a plea for acceptance or an empowered statement of self-love and independence.
