GO
Unspoken Desires: MIA GLADSTONE's 'GO' Reveals the Silent Language of Love
Lyrics
I would say how I feel, but you already know
I refrain from expressing my feelings because you are already aware of them.
Why would I waste my breath
Why should I waste my breath?
And think out loud?
Why vocalize and think aloud?
I don't ask if it's real
I don't question its authenticity.
If it was it would show
If it were real, it would be evident.
You're not mine, I know, but I can't let go
You're not mine, but I struggle to let go.
Let it go, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
Encouraging oneself to let go, expressed with rhythmic repetitions.
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
-Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
-Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh
-I don't talk when
I become silent when you're around, feeling nervous.
You come by and make me nervous
Difficulty in expressing words and actions appropriately when in your presence.
If I say a word I blurt it (Mmm-mmm)
-It don't come out right i can't act right
-Oh, why can't I control my
-Eyes when you're close by?
Struggling to control emotions, particularly when close to you.
I would say how I feel, but you already know
Reiteration of the internal struggle of expressing feelings and letting go.
Why would I waste my breath
-And think out loud?
-I don't ask if it's real
-If it was it would show
-You're not mine, I know, but I can't let go
-Let it go, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
Repeating the urge to let go, expressed rhythmically.
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
-Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
-Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh
-Do you think about me?
Pondering if the other person thinks about the singer, expressing a need for recognition and understanding.
Even half as much as I do about you?
-Do you spend your precious time in
-The depths of my mind?
-Can you help me recognize why
-I need you in sight?
-I would say how I feel, but you already know
Repeated expression of the difficulty in expressing feelings and letting go.
Why would I waste my breath
-And think out loud?
-I don't ask if it's real
-If it was it would show
-You're not mine, I know, but I can't let go
-Let it go, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
Continuation of the rhythmic encouragement to let go.
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
-Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
-Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh
-What more can I do? Share my point of view?
Expressing fear of telling the truth and confessing love, emphasizing the internal struggle.
I can't tell the truth
-I'm too scared of you what more can I do?
-Share my point of view?
-I can't tell the truth
-I'm in love with you
-Let it go, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
Reiteration of the encouragement to let go, expressed rhythmically.
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
-Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
-Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh
-Let's go, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
Additional rhythmic expressions urging action and acknowledging fading emotions.
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh (Oh, no, no, no)
-Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
-Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh
-Go, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
Repeating the word "Go" with a sense of urgency, acknowledging the fading emotions.
(Oh, no, no, no) uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
-(We're fading, I already know, know, know)
-(Go, go, go) go, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
-Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
-(Fading, I already know, know, know)
