Hearing Voices Lyrics
Start
I'm gonna start with this
Just a single thought followed by words
I hope I don't miss, miss anything
Write you a letter, but it's better that you hear me,
I suppose I could sing, write a song to share the meaning
Of the love for you I'm feeling
People saying what they will...
I don't care.
I'm hearing voices all around
I'm hearing voices calling out
What would they say?
What would it change?
I'm hearing voices all around
I'm hearing voices making sounds
What would they take?
What would they say to me if only I was listening?
Catch my 22,
I'd gladly give it to somebody because I only want to be with you
I lost and used your love
I start to drown and you go and pull me up
Don't you listen to what they say.
I'm hearing voices all around
I'm hearing voices calling out
What would they say?
What would it change?
I'm hearing voices all around
I'm hearing voices making sounds
What would they take?
What would they say if I was listening?
Come here, there's something I should tell you
Darling, don't fear
'Cause I'm going, going away
Voices all around
I'm hearing voices
What will they say?
What will they say?
I'm hearing voices
Hearing voices.
Voices all around.
I'm hearing voices all around.
I'm gonna start with this
Just a single thought followed by words
I hope I don't miss, miss anything
Write you a letter, but it's better that you hear me,
I suppose I could sing, write a song to share the meaning
Of the love for you I'm feeling
People saying what they will...
I don't care.
I'm hearing voices calling out
What would they say?
What would it change?
I'm hearing voices all around
I'm hearing voices making sounds
What would they take?
What would they say to me if only I was listening?
I'd gladly give it to somebody because I only want to be with you
I lost and used your love
I start to drown and you go and pull me up
Don't you listen to what they say.
I'm hearing voices calling out
What would they say?
What would it change?
I'm hearing voices all around
I'm hearing voices making sounds

Darling, don't fear
'Cause I'm going, going away
I'm hearing voices
What will they say?
What will they say?
I'm hearing voices
Hearing voices.
Voices all around.
I'm hearing voices all around.

I absolutely love this song. :]
Personally, I think the song is self-explanatory. It's about the singer who despite the demeaning words and voices of others, chose to stay with the one that he/she loves. It reminds me of doing what you think is right and not allowing the other voices to sway you from that. :]
I disagree. The tune of the song and the lines "catch my 22", and "darling don't fear 'cause I’m going, going away" say otherwise. You were correct about the "voices" though. This song is about a person (the speaker) who wishes to be with someone, but is afraid of what other people (the voices) will say about it. The speaker writes a song to "share the meaning". Share is a very important word in this line. It implies that there is more than just one meaning to it, because the meaning has to share. So, in a sense, the meaning...

Share is a very important word in this line. It implies that there is more than just one meaning to it, because the meaning has to share. So, in a sense, the meaning is hidden, in this case behind a more obvious or self-explanatory one. The speaker isn't afraid to sing the song ("I don't care") because he or she knows that most people won't notice the true meaning. Now on to the line "catch my 22". The phrase "Catch 22" is common idiomatic usage meaning a no-win situation. The no-win situation the speaker is referring to is that the speaker can't be with someone because of what other people will say. Either way the speaker loses. In the end the speaker ends up telling the person he or she wishes to be with not to fear because the speaker is leaving so that neither of them have to deal with what others will say about them.
