In this song, a ‘silver tongue’ tells Chet the ‘truth’. Someone with a silver tongue is someone who is good at manipulating words to be persuasive, which implies that the ‘truth’ isn’t what it seems. Being young and malleable, Chet believes the silver tongue.
He’s lead to believe that the truth is...
[Verse 1]
Silver tongue told me to
Believe in the truth
'Cause I'm young, he won't let it go
The problem with you, whoa-oh-oh
When it's done, it will be done
If it stops, something's wrong
When it's gone, I'll be gone
If I sleep, I'm scared what comes
Gonna be myself right into falling
[Chorus]
Sometimes I feel
It's just a warning, it's all a warning sign
(Hold your breath, hold your breath, hold your breath)
Sometimes I feel
It's just a warning, just a warning sign
(Hold your breath, hold your breath, hold your breath)
[Verse 2]
It's only done long enough
Believe me, it's all
'Cause I'm young, I won't let it go
Believe in the tongue
And we're done, and we're done
And we're done, we're leaving right now
And we're done, and we're done
And we're done, we're leaving right now
Gonna be myself, right at the falling
[Chorus]
Sometimes I feel
It's just a warning, it's all a warning sign
(Hold your breath, hold your breath, hold your breath)
Sometimes I feel
It's just a warning, just a warning sign
(Hold your breath, hold your breath, hold your breath)
Sometimes I feel
It's just a warning, it's all a warning sign
(Hold your breath, hold your breath, hold your breath)
Sometimes I feel
It's just a warning, just a warning sign
(Hold your breath, hold your breath, hold your breath)
