| The Fray – Say When Lyrics | 15 years ago |

for all those people who think every song by the fray is about love and relationships and blahblahblah, please listen to their songs and read the lyrics a little closer. this song is about the war. basically he's saying "i'm scared, but if you (the government) say when, i'll be there to protect my country" "You been the song playing on the background All along but you're turning up now And everyone is rising to meet you, to greet you" --the threat of war has been there all along, but now it's coming full force and we're prepared for it. "Turn around and you're walking toward me I'm breaking down and you're breathing slowly You say the word and I will be your man, your man Say when and my own two hands Will comfort you tonight, tonight Say when and my own two arms Will carry you tonight, tonight" --i'm scared, but all you have to do is ask, and i'll give myself to this country "Maybe God can be on both sides Of the gun, never understood why Some of us never get it so good, so good" --(my favorite line) he's referencing the fact that both sides here claim they're fighting for God and depending oon how you look at it, we're both wrong and we're both right. "Some of this was here before us All of this will go after us It never stops until we give in" --the trouble was here before us, and it will continue to live after our deaths until someone is brave enough to step up and give into peace. there's a lot of this song i don't completely understand, but thats what i love about the fray. there's no listener who can honestly say they know the meaning of every fray lyric. i love it :) |

well to me it actaully kinda sounds like the war.... i dont think "she" is referring to a girl, its more like america... maybe... "Halfway around the world Lies the one thing that you want Buried in the ground Hundreds of miles down" is obviously oil from there i'm not completely sure, but i'm pretty sure its not about a long distance relationship. a lot of the fray's songs are much deeper than they first appear, and i don't think this is any different. "say when" is also about war..... we are closer, we haven't lost it all yet. |
