Things Said
Whispers in the Night: Unveiling the Silent Echoes of 'Things Said' by Good Lord!
Lyrics
And it was never something that you'd say that had me worried
Expressing concern about something you didn't explicitly say
It was something present in the way
Not in the words spoken but in the manner it was expressed
That you would glide
Describing a graceful movement or behavior
Across my room so light
Moving lightly and effortlessly in the speaker's room
That told me clearly
The lightness of the movement conveyed a clear message
That things were not all right
Indicating that things were not going well or were troubled
But we kept moving with my head in a hole, no longer looking,
Continuing to move forward despite being oblivious or indifferent
But bursting into summer with me in goal
Entering a lively and vibrant season, with the speaker as the target
My feet firmly planted
Being grounded and stable
In my parents yard
In the yard of the speaker's parents
Taking for granted
Not appreciating or recognizing the value of certain things
Those things said in the dark
Referring to secrets or confessions made in the darkness
That now echo, that echo and arc,
The impact and resonance of those secrets that linger and reverberate
And if I touch their trails, I'm taken to the start
Touching upon those echoes brings the speaker back to the beginning
Through this time I've come to realize that regardless of tactics or my defensive style,
Realizing that, despite tactics or defensive measures, vulnerability exists
There is no protection
Highlighting the absence of protection
There is no protection
Repeating the theme of vulnerability and lack of defense
From too few minutes and too many miles
Facing challenges caused by too little time and too much distance
