Something to Say
Unveiling the Unspoken
Lyrics
He's got a thing about losing control
He has an issue with losing control over situations or emotions.
Carries it a mile just to see how far he'll go
He deliberately tests the limits or boundaries to see how far he can go.
And he brushes up his chops as he tries to fake a smile
He practices and polishes his facade of happiness while concealing his true feelings behind a smile.
A friend indeed but what I need's someone who'll stay a while
He's a good friend, but the narrator desires someone who will be present for a longer duration.
Someone to stay a while
The narrator seeks someone willing to stay around for an extended period.
You can bend my ear
The narrator is willing to listen attentively.
We can talk all day
They can engage in conversation extensively.
Just make sure that I'm near
Just ensure the narrator is nearby or present.
When you've really got something to say
When there's genuinely something important to share, the narrator wants to be there.
He drops hints but he won't tell you what's really on his mind
He hints at things but avoids disclosing what's truly bothering him.
But I know if I look that it's easy to find
The narrator can discern the truth easily if they pay attention.
And he's got a way with his anger and the way he lets it show
He has a manner of expressing anger and showing it, much like the remaining smoke after a fire dies down.
Like the smoldering smoke when the fire's left the coals
Similar to lingering smoke after the fire is extinguished.
When the fire has left the coals
Reiterating the fading remnants of a fire.
You can take me down
Allowing someone to guide and show the narrator their personal space.
To show me your home
Inviting the narrator to witness the person's genuine self or soul.
Not the place where you live
Contrasting the physical living space with the emotional or spiritual sense of belonging.
But the place where you belong
Expressing the importance of emotional connection over physical residence.
You can bend my ear
The narrator is open to listening attentively.
We can talk all day
They can engage in prolonged conversation.
Just make sure I'm around
Ensure the narrator is present or available.
When you've finally got something to say
When the person truly has something significant to express, the narrator wants to be there.
And what are you meaning by
The narrator questions the meaning behind the statement "I don't deserve this life?"
I don't deserve this life?
Challenging the perception or belief of not deserving the current life situation.
His door is always open and he's always got the time
The person mentioned is always available and willing to offer support despite falling behind.
To give a little something even though he gets behind
Even though struggling, they still try to provide assistance.
And your trips become his and your lives are intertwined
Your experiences become intertwined, and the person dedicates themselves to your journey.
But like the horse with the junkie it's all in your mind
Similar to a horse tethered to a junkie, the connection is more psychological than physical.
It's all in your mind
The depth of connection and dependency exists in the mind.
You can take me down
Allowing someone to guide and show the narrator their personal space.
To show me your home
Inviting the narrator to witness the person's genuine self or soul.
Not the place where you live
Contrasting the physical living space with the emotional or spiritual sense of belonging.
But the place where you belong
Expressing the importance of emotional connection over physical residence.
You can bend my ear
The narrator is open to listening attentively.
We can talk all day
They can engage in prolonged conversation.
Just make sure you're around
Ensure the person is present or available.
When I've finally got something to say
When the narrator truly has something significant to express, they want the person to be there.
