Say Not a Word
Shadows Burned, Sins Shared: Unveiling the Depths of 'Say Not a Word'
Lyrics
I stared you down so hard I burnt your shadow to the wall
I intensely confronted you, leaving a lasting impression as if your shadow was burned onto the wall.
And through the haze you served a slow pull from grace
Amidst confusion, you offered a gradual descent from grace, moving slowly in a state of intoxication.
At a drunken pace
Intoxicated, moving at an unsteady pace.
I've nothing to sell you, nothing to trade
I have nothing to offer you for sale, nothing to exchange.
What would you have me give? what would you let me take?
What do you expect me to give? What are you willing to let me take?
Let fall past your lips a siren's kiss
Allow a seductive and alluring kiss to escape your lips, softening the impact of the approaching dawn.
To temper the crash of dawn
Invoke a sisterly harmony to accompany the transition into night, pleading for sweetness in the twilight.
Sister sing along "twilight be sweet"
Encourage a harmonious singing with a plea for a sweet twilight.
Come tomorrow of this place we cannot speak
Referring to an unspoken future, suggesting that there are aspects of this place that cannot be discussed.
And come tomorrow these sins we share, we two shall keep
Anticipating a shared burden of sins that will be kept between the two individuals in the coming days.
Oh twilight be sweet
Reiterating the desire for a pleasant twilight.
Pull the blinds, put my back to the door
Closing off from the outside world, blocking access by turning away from the door and pulling down blinds.
Say not a word, sister, split down on me
Instructing a sister figure not to speak, to remain silent and not share any words.
Kill the lights, drag me to the floor
Extending the silence, extinguishing the lights, and being physically brought to the ground.
Say not a word, sister, split down on me
Reiterating the instruction to a sister figure not to speak, maintaining the emphasis on silence.
