Words Lyrics

Speechless again at a loss for words
But they wouldn't be heard anyway, would they
The minimum required is what the offer is
And that's all you give

Stranded above all the friction here
Your motives aren't clear enough to see

I will be unstable
I'm not just a passerby
I hate sudden changes

Speechless again with no time to spare
Could you pretend that you care just once for me
At least for a while put your guards away
There's no one to blame

Words can't heal this silent [ear]
(fear won't leave here [first])
Certain sigh
Why frame time to time spent [near]
(nearness loses sights)
Sight signed off

Your words occur to me sometimes
We learn the reasons why we're here
and walk on a clear wire
Trapeze Jesus
cautious and slow
so quick to lunge,
Brain to tongue
To find I'm the only one
The only one that's fit to choose
Another side, another tool
And what makes up your silver spoon
That makes you want to live again

*go to fear when you read ear; stop on sigh (second time) then jump to your words occur

Fuck this song requires a serious analysis but I'm drunk

First of all I hate how everyone on songmeanings turns a song into a relationship. Some asshole will post below me and say that's what this is about.

I think the first stanza is about speaking to a person in a position of power and having them ignore you.

I pulled an allnighter on energy drinks after my parents threw me into some rehab program. The line I will be unstable stood out but soon enough I knew it didn't affect me personally.

This is the meat and potatoes

Ears don't speak and words don't hear. Fuck it doesn't make sense but the music makes it worthwhile.

That is all.

Your words occur to me sometimes. I interpret that line as spiritual. I don't want to elaborate further.

Words can heal this silence - a prayer

Your words occur to me sometimes - God speaking to us I hear "we learn" instead of align so we learn the reasons why we're hear

The rest of it have a field day. My other comments are crap.

Just listened

Words can't heal this silent ear - basically Your words won't hear me (makes unstable reference make sense).

Then your words occur to me.

Dude can't hear but God got to him.

That's life.
