Will Sayles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's what you do, but I still love you
You're by the phone & I've got to be alone now
My head is ablaze & still miles lost in space
I gave you my love, but you told me to fuck-off...
That's what you do, but I still love you
I don't need you!
Leave my happy thoughts!
You sold your soul, but mine will still grow
You don't share love & you don't feel love!
I'm already gone
The lyrics to Will Sayles's song "Speechless" tell a story of unrequited love and heartbreak. The singer gave their love to someone who rejected them and told them to "fuck-off." Despite this, they still love this person and feel conflicted about their emotions. The person they love is physically near, but the singer feels alone and lost in their thoughts. The line "I ate the pill…& I'm here still?" suggests that the singer may have taken a substance to try to cope with their pain or numb their feelings, but it didn't work. They compare the way their love was rejected to the other person selling their soul, but they still believe that their own soul will continue to grow. The singer seems to realize that the person they love does not share or feel love in return and accepts that they are already gone from their life.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of deep emotional pain and confusion. The singer is grappling with the contradiction between their love for someone who has rejected them and the harsh reality that they are not loved in return. The repetition of the line "That's what you do, but I still love you" emphasizes the singer's inner conflict and their struggle to let go of their feelings.
