Say
thenewno2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You love to stop when you here me say
Cause what I need there ain't no covering
They wearin' kitty clothes when I explain
Say what you're feeling
Say something
Like you mean it
Wanting so much to be heard now
And you wanted so much to be seen
There going to send you down and back to school
Thought you were big but now you're small
Say what you're feeling
Say something
Like you mean it
Tell me how you're feeling
Say something
Don't just think it
I'm going to lay here awake all night
Say something
I'm going to lay here wasting time
Say what you're feeling
Say something
Like you mean it
Tell me how you're feeling
Say something
Don't just think it
Say
Say something
Say something
Say something
The song "Say" by thenewno2 is a poignant plea for communication and honesty in a relationship. The lyrics speak of the frustration and hurt that comes from not being able to share your true feelings with your partner, and the desire to be heard and understood. The line "I'm going to break and watch you fade away" conveys the intense emotional pain of feeling like your partner is slipping away due to a lack of communication. The singer pleads for their partner to "Say what you're feeling," urging them to open up and express themselves truly rather than hiding behind a facade of "kitty clothes." The repetition of "Say something, like you mean it" emphasizes the need for genuine and heartfelt communication.
The chorus repeats several times, emphasizing the importance of speaking up and not just thinking your feelings. The line "I'm going to lay here awake all night, say something" portrays the agony of wanting to express yourself but being unable to do so. The overall message of the song is one of vulnerability and the importance of opening up in order to truly connect with someone.
