Say It Like You Mean It
Authentic Echoes: Unveiling the Depths of 'Say It Like You Mean It' by Hiss Golden Messenger
Lyrics
Yeah, say it like you mean it
Express yourself sincerely and with conviction
You don't mean it, it don't mean nothing at all
If your expression lacks sincerity, it holds no significance
We've been strugglers
Reference to facing challenges or difficulties
Blackheart brothers
Connection or bond between individuals facing struggles
Sunday's mothers don't never could tell us apart
Mothers on Sundays unable to distinguish between brothers
Now I know what you say
Understanding the spoken words
It's a mean old world
Commenting on the harshness of the world
I seen it, it all seems like a game
Life experiences seem like a trivial or meaningless activity
Don't want a new, new river every time I look down
Desire for stability, not constant change
Oh, a spirit, yeah, to move me, babe
Seeking inspiration or motivation from a spiritual force
A desire
A strong wish or longing
Like a wire
Comparing desire to a wire, suggesting intensity and direction
Lead the choir
Leading a group in harmony
Oh, tripping on that Orange County wine
Mentions Orange County wine, possibly alluding to indulgence or excess
Morning sinner
Someone who sins in the morning
Meet your maker
Encountering a higher power or facing consequences
Revelator
A person who reveals or discloses information
You tell me yours and I'll tell you mine
Sharing personal experiences
Now I know what you say
Reiteration of the harsh nature of the world
It's a mean old world
Reaffirmation of the challenging nature of existence
I've seen it, it all seems like a game
Reflecting on life as if it were a game
And I want a new, new river every time I look down
Desiring a fresh start or new perspective
Oh, a spirit, yeah, to move me, babe
Seeking inspiration or motivation from a spiritual force (repeated)
Yeah, na, na
Expressing with vocalizations
Na, na, na, na
Vocalizations (repeated)
Na, na, na, na
-Yeah, say it like you mean it
Reiteration of the importance of sincere expression
If you don't mean it, it don't mean nothing at all
If not sincere, the expression holds no value
