just realizing that the piano part is missing from this song but here it is. the homonym I originally picked was the word ‘mean’. this song is talking about people being misunderstood.
please allow them to explain themselves
they don’t have that much to say
so when it comes to being understood
their thoughts and feelings may sway
we all sometimes can feel a bit reserved
it may be hard for us to speak
but rest assured, life lessons learned
being alone doesn’t mean you're weak
when it comes
to being understood
sometimes words
get in the way
after all
is said and done
they mean
what they say
fingers crossed we’re hoping for the best
hearts outstretched to one another
love is all we’re hoping to impress
love is all we’re hoping to discover
time and time again we try so hard
time again we may fail
but when the bird sings in the yard
our words will be of avail

Nice write. Fun to riff on the meaning of meaning, like a philosophy dialogue. The use of the droned cello line is a cool glue for the arrangement.

Good vibe; agree with @smiley about the 80's vibe. Rockin!

Love the title. Cool '80s-ish vibe. The first line is a great intro. Words... The irony of them and finding the right ones when we craft our songs. Nice piece, thought-provoking. FAWM on!
