The Words I Say

"The Words I Say" by Kurt Holes is a song about the internal struggle of suppressing unspoken emotions and thoughts. The speaker is haunted by these "silent screams" and "whispers" that they keep hidden from the world, creating a sense of "lonely thoughts" and a "dark" inner world. The lyrics highlight the "chilling whispers" and "lessons learned" that continue to plague them, even as they try to "hide fears behind a smile" and "run scared a thousand miles." The recurring phrase "The words I say/They never see the light of day/Locked away/But they keep coming anyway" emphasizes the speaker's inability to escape the constant presence of these internal struggles. The song explores the weight of unspoken emotions and the difficulty of confronting them.
