Making Sound
Unveiling Heartbreak: Gregory Austin's 'Making Sound' Meaning
Lyrics
All I have left of you is this stupid bracelet
All that remains of the person is a sentimental bracelet.
That I will keep talking bout, till I die
The speaker intends to continuously talk about the bracelet until their death.
I know it's the last of you cause last time I asked you
The bracelet symbolizes the final connection with the person, confirmed when the speaker inquired about the last time.
You said you've been living like it was last July
The person claims to have been living as if it were the previous July, possibly stuck in the past.
You know when to lie
Acknowledgment of the person's ability to deceive or lie.
Speaking of last time it really stuck in my mind
Recollection of a significant past moment when the person assured the speaker that everything would be fine.
When you grabbed my hand, told me it's gonna be fine
The person physically comforted the speaker during a challenging time.
I tried to believe it but it wasn't a secret
The speaker tried to believe the reassurance, but it was evident that the person was keeping a secret.
That I was in love and love always comes blind
Expressing the blindness of love, even when the speaker was aware of being in love.
So I cried
The emotional response of crying due to the challenges in the relationship.
See I can make all this sound
The speaker can create a facade or pretense (make all this sound).
Hoping that you will turn around
The hope that the person will change their mind or perspective in response to the speaker's actions or words.
But nothing really changes if you don't love me
Highlighting the futility of efforts if there is no reciprocated love.
I can keep whining on, till my voice is gone
The speaker can continue complaining until they lose their voice, but it won't make a difference without love.
But nothing really changes if you don't need me
Emphasizing that complaining doesn't lead to change if there is no genuine need for the speaker.
See I can make all this sound
Reiteration of the ability to create a facade.
Hoping that you will turn around
Expressing hope for a change in the person's desire or willingness.
But nothing really changes if you don't want me
Underlining that actions won't result in change without the person's genuine want.
I can keep whining on, till my voice is gone
Continuing to express feelings even if it leads to the loss of the speaker's voice, but change requires the person's need.
But nothing really changes if you don't need me
Emphasizing that true change doesn't occur without the person genuinely needing the speaker.
