Unheard Echoes: Discover the Unspoken Depth in 'Matter' by The Echoing Green
Lyrics
You can say the words
You have the ability to express your thoughts verbally.
To their faces
Direct communication with others is possible.
They won’t listen
Despite speaking directly, others may not pay attention.
You can sound it out
Express yourself in various ways.
Any way you can
Use any method available to convey your message.
And
Continuation or transition in expression.
You can tell your dreams
Share your dreams openly.
To the world
Speak to the world about your aspirations.
They won’t listen
Despite sharing, the world may not pay attention.
Your hopes and invention
Your dreams and innovations may not be valued by others.
Don’t matter to them
However, they hold significance for the speaker.
But they matter to me
The speaker emphasizes the importance of your dreams to them.
They matter to me
Reiteration of the speaker's concern for your dreams.
And your whispers
Even your quietest expressions are noticed.
Sing like sirens
Your subtle communications have a strong impact.
To me
The speaker is receptive to your whispers.
Standing by like a hero
A reference to a heroic stance without a clear purpose.
With nothing to save
The hero lacks a mission to accomplish.
Up against all the
Facing challenges from the elements (water, wind, waves).
Water, wind, and the waves
A challenging situation against natural forces.
And if you
Encouragement to pause and protect yourself.
Take a moment just to
Take a moment to shield yourself.
Shield your face
Close your mouth and avoid revealing secrets.
Shut your mouth
Keep your secrets guarded.
Let your secrets
Encouragement to maintain silence.
Keep their place
Preserve the confidentiality of your secrets.
Oooh
An expression, possibly of admiration or anticipation.
You’ll tell them to no one
Advocating keeping secrets private.
But you can tell them to me
Despite secrecy, you can confide in the speaker.
You can tell them to me
Reassurance that the speaker is a trustworthy confidant.
And your sentiments are diamonds
Your emotions and thoughts are precious to the speaker.
To me
The speaker values your sentiments like valuable gems.
They matter to me
Reiteration of the importance of your feelings to the speaker.
They matter to me
Emphasizing the continued significance of your emotions.
And your whispers sing like sirens
Your subtle communications continue to impact the speaker.
To me
Reiteration of the profound impact of your whispers.
