Say
sleepingatlast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the truest of forms will show,
Finally you'll find your soul.
They impose the endless light
To always be perfect.
It seems they have been chosen
To be above the rest.
Between these perfect lives
And the words they've misread
There was no reading.
Say all the things that you really want to say
The truest of forms will show,
Finally you'll find your soul.
Say all the things that you really want to say
The truest of forms will show,
Finally you'll find your soul.
The landscapes of being
Are endlessly competing, back and forth
For an answer to existence
That we can never find,
In all the places we've searched out,
In all the pulses that we've taken
There was no reading.
Say all the things that you really want to say
The truest of forms will show,
Finally you'll find your soul.
Say all the things that you really want to say
The truest of forms will show,
Finally we'll find our souls.
Give us the answers
And the ability to hear
The landscapes of being
Are endlessly competing, back and forth
For an answer to existence
That we can understand.
Perhaps we're looking far too closely.
We can't see
All the evidence in its entirety
The air in our lungs,
The complexity of our love.
Say all the things that you really want to say
Then you'll find, the truest of forms will show
And finally you'll find your soul.
Say all the things that you really want to say.
Say what you really want to say
And the truest of forms will show.
Finally you'll find your soul.
The overall message of the song is encouraging people to speak their truths and express themselves honestly, as this will lead them to find their true selves. The lyrics talk about how society creates a façade of perfection and sets unrealistic standards that contradict the reality of human existence. However, by being brave and speaking out, we can find the answers to our existence within ourselves and the complexity of our love.
The contrasting landscapes of being represent the internal struggles that we face in our quest for understanding. The desire for answers and the need to feel understood is a shared human experience, and this song taps into our collective curiosity and longing for clarity. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the message of the importance of speaking out and finding our soul, which is what gives us true purpose and fulfillment.

Say what you really want to say
Speak your truth without holding back
And the truest of forms will show,
Your true self will be revealed
Finally you'll find your soul.
You will discover your innermost being
They impose the endless light
Others demand perfection
To always be perfect.
To never make mistakes or show vulnerability
It seems they have been chosen
It appears as if others are superior
To be above the rest.
To be better or more important than others
But the contradiction stands
However, a paradox exists
Between these perfect lives
Despite their apparent flawlessness
And the words they've misread
They have misunderstood something important
There was no reading.
They were unable to comprehend the truth
The landscapes of being
The nature of existence
Are endlessly competing, back and forth
Are engaged in a never-ending battle
For an answer to existence
In search of the meaning of life
That we can never find,
An answer that will always elude us
In all the places we've searched out,
Despite all our efforts
In all the pulses that we've taken
And all the attempts we've made
There was no reading.
We were unable to understand the truth
Give us the answers
Provide us with clarity
And the ability to hear
Help us to truly listen
That we can understand.
So that we can grasp the meaning
Perhaps we're looking far too closely.
Maybe we are overanalyzing
We can't see
We are unable to perceive
All the evidence in its entirety
The complete picture of reality
The air in our lungs,
Simple things that we take for granted
The complexity of our love.
The intricate nature of our connections with others
Then you'll find, the truest of forms will show
When you express yourself honestly, your true nature will reveal itself
And finally you'll find your soul.
Through honesty, you will connect with your innermost self
Say all the things that you really want to say.
Express yourself truthfully and without reservation
Finally we'll find our souls.
By being honest, we can all connect with our inner selves

Marcela Rivera
Where are the others?
Jeremy titus
Mariela O'Brien Well... Chad and Dan were the only two others in the band. They went on with their lives to pursue other interests, leaving Ryan.
Raena Hunter
Sleeping At Last had the biggest glow-up of the century to be honest.
Quell
I'm really glad that Ryan has pursued his career and accomplished so much in the last few years. The difference in that era until now is enormous
Quell
Voltando aqui novamente apenas pra apreciar essa obra de arte

Makes me miss the rock days of SAL. Wish they'd made more albums like Ghosts & Keep No Score. Still love Ryan's music though, his beautiful lyrics haven't changed :)
