Lyrics
Silver tongue
Refers to someone who speaks eloquently and persuasively.
Midas Mouth
Comparing the ability to speak to King Midas, turning everything into gold, implying that the speaker's words have a powerful impact.
Weld your words
Forge or create your words.
And spit them out
Speak them forcefully.
Every voice
All voices, all kinds of sounds.
Every sound
Choose your words wisely.
Choose your words
Make each word valuable.
And make them count
In the neon glow
Referencing a vivid, bright setting—possibly symbolizing an urban or intense environment.
In the neon glow
-Hold your crystal ball
Metaphorically referring to seeking answers or insights.
Look into the smoke
Accepting uncertainty or preferring to remain unaware.
I don't wanna know
Emphasizing the desire to stay in the present and not concern oneself with the future.
I don't wanna know
-What the future holds
-What the future holds
-I don't wanna know, no
Repeated emphasis on not wanting to know the future.
What the future holds, holds
-I don't wanna know, no
-What the future holds
-Won't you tell me though?
Desire for information despite earlier statements.
Tell me I'm the only one
Repetition for reassurance or affirmation of being special or unique.
Tell me I'm the only one
-Tell me I'm the only one
-Tell me, tell me
If I turn to stone
Concerns about losing oneself or identity and seeking assurance from someone else.
If I turn to stone
-When your fingers roll
-Down my flesh and bone
-When it all erodes
-When it all erodes
-Will you keep me whole
-Will you keep me whole?
-Will you keep me whole, whole
Asking for reassurance again, hoping to be kept intact or complete, akin to being preserved in gold.
Fill me up with gold, gold
-Will you keep me whole, whole
-Fill me up with gold, gold
-Silver tongue
Repetition of the earlier metaphor of speaking eloquently, but with an added sense of disdain or hope for the speaker's downfall due to their deceitful or harmful words.
Blow your smoke
-Eat yours words
-And burn your throat
-Silver tongue
-Blow your smoke
-Eat your words
-I hope you choke
