Cover art for Words lyrics by Umphrey's Mcgee

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.
