Say
Winter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know you, no I don't know you
Leave me alone so I can atone
For all of my sins, all of my lies
So I don't regret being given this life

I say I'm okay but what do I hide underneath
Always sorrow and grief
Always sorrow and grief
Don't even do tabs, having visions of demons visit me from my past

But I throw that away
I'm inviting my angels so my demons can stay
Lost all my emotions, I'm sorry I cannot love you
I'm sorry I can't love you

I said I'm sorry I can't love you
But this ain't better for me, yeah this is better for you
This time I won't let you choose
This ain't better for me, yeah this is better for you

This time I won't let you choose
I know you needed some room, but I think it's best if I lose you
All I wanted was some loyalty
So you choosing some loyalty

I need some loving
And you don't even wanna mention me
Said I need some loyalty in my life
I need some loyalty in my life

And all you keep on doing is choosing loyalty
I don't know why I'm just lost in the sky
Know that I've just been away, got me running out
I don't know why you just keep on talking like you don't know why

Like you don't know what's up
Yeah, I just been running out in the hallway
I don't know what you gonna say, but you better if I don't play
Don't play with my heart

I need some loyalty in my life
I need some loyalty in my life
I need some loyalty in my life
I need some loyalty in my life

I need some loyalty in my life
I need some loyalty in my life
I need some loyalty
Yes I do, yes I do





Yes I do, yes I do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Winter's song "Say" express deep feelings of loneliness, regret, and a longing for loyalty and love. The singer begins by acknowledging that they don't know the person they are addressing and desires to be left alone so they can atone for their sins and lies. They hope that by doing so, they won't have any regrets about the life they've been given.


Next, the singer reveals that despite outwardly saying they are okay, they carry immense sorrow and grief within. They even have visions of demons from their past, which suggests that they are haunted by their past mistakes or experiences. However, they push away those negative thoughts and invite their angels to stay, indicating an internal struggle between positive and negative influences.


The lyrics then shift to the singer apologizing for being unable to love the person they are addressing and feeling sorry for their own emotional detachment. They express that their inability to love is better for the other person, possibly implying that they believe their emotional baggage would hinder a healthy relationship. This decision is reinforced as they state they won't let the other person choose because they feel it's best to lose them, even though all they wanted was loyalty.


There is a plea for love and loyalty in the singer's life, as they feel a strong need for affection and mention that they are being ignored or neglected. They emphasize their desire for loyalty repeatedly, suggesting that it is a crucial aspect missing from their relationships. The singer is lost, both mentally and emotionally, and wonders why the other person acts as if they don't understand or know what is happening.


In the final repetition of the chorus, the singer continues to stress their need for loyalty in their life, affirming the importance of such commitment for their overall well-being. The plea for loyalty is repeated several times, emphasizing the depth of their yearning for a trustworthy and loving connection. The song concludes with a definitive affirmation that the singer indeed needs loyalty.

I wrote down the lyrics to the best of my ability. Hope this can be of use <3

I am smoking through several things
Move and nothing will stay the same
Say say that you want to
Say say that you want to do
Say all that you want to
Stare into the hologram
Fluorescent lights will complete the trance
Say say that you want to
Say say that you want to do
Say all that you want to
Hell is coming true
His trance loses you
Fire burns inside
If you were to
Don't be afraid to
Say that you want to
Don't be afraid to
Say that you want to
