It Will if We Let It
Unlocking Meaning: Embracing the Strange Journey of 'It Will if We Let It'
Lyrics
Were you happy?
Questioning if the listener was happy
I ignored it
Admitting to ignoring something
I was telling
Indicating the act of sharing or confessing
Other stories
Suggesting involvement in narrating alternative stories
Oh, Abby
Addressing someone named Abby
I'm depending on you
Expressing dependence on Abby
But do you feel it?
Asking Abby if she feels a certain emotion
When it all feels strange
Reflecting on a period of unfamiliarity or discomfort
Do the words have no meaning?
Questioning the meaningfulness of words in such moments
They will if we let 'em
Asserting that words gain meaning if allowed
But first we gotta say 'em
Emphasizing the importance of verbal expression
That means we gotta learn 'em
Stressing the need to learn and understand the words
You're not alone
Assuring the listener that they are not alone
Well, they told me
Referring to advice about irreversible actions
There'd be no returning from it
Expressing awareness of the difficulty of returning
I had to try it
Admitting to attempting something despite the risks
Oh, I wanted some
Acknowledging a desire for something
Oh, Abby
Reiterating the reliance on Abby
I know I put it on you
Acknowledging putting a burden on Abby
But do you feel it?
Asking Abby if she senses a certain feeling
When it all feels strange
Reflecting on a time of strangeness or discomfort
Do the words have no meaning?
Raising the question of the meaningfulness of words
They will if we let 'em
Reaffirming that words can have meaning if allowed
But first we gotta say 'em
Reiterating the importance of verbal expression
That means we gotta learn 'em
Emphasizing the necessity to learn and understand words
You're not alone
Reassuring the listener that they are not alone
