The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Say Something" by the artist "Walk Off The Earth"

In the song "Say Something" by Walk Off The Earth, the lyrical hero finds himself at an emotional crossroads in a relationship. He is ready to give himself completely to love ("put a cross on you"), but at the same time, he is insecure and waiting for a sign from the object of his passion.

The phrase "put a cross on you" carries a double meaning. On the one hand, it can mean a willingness to sacrifice everything for a loved one, as if putting his life on the line. On the other hand, it can be a more fatalistic interpretation - a willingness to accept defeat if the feelings are not mutual.

The hero confesses his awkwardness and inexperience in love. He is "still learning to love", "not even taking the first steps". Despite this, he is ready for anything for the sake of his beloved, ready to "swallow his pride" and even let her go if she wants to.

The repeating phrase "say something" is a cry from the heart, a plea for clarity. The hero longs for at least some kind of answer, a sign that will tell him what to do next. He is ready to accept any decision of his beloved, even if it means the end of their relationship.

Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'll be the one if you want me to

Anywhere I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I am feeling so small

It was over my head

I know nothing at all

And I will stumble and fall

I'm still learning to love

Just starting to crawl

Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

Anywhere I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I will swallow my pride

You're the one that I love

And I'm saying goodbye

Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

Anywhere I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

Say something
