No Words
Cody Jinks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴My whole view of the world has changed
I guess that comes with age
I don't believe there is good in every man
Like I did back then
And I may drink more than I should
You've seen me on the floor
I've spent my lifetime in this cage I've built around me
And no words
Could ever say how much I need you
With you here
You make this life I live worth livin'
Heaven knows I've broke your heart
I can't take that away
All I'm worth is just this promise that I've made to you
To stand beside you just like you have stood beside me
And no words
Could ever say how much I need you
With you here
You make this life I live worth livin'
And you could be much better off
God knows, without me
And that's why
I just can't find the words
You could be much better off
God knows, without me
And that's why
I just can't find the words
Overall Meaning
The song "No Words" by Cody Jinks is a reflection on how the singer's worldview has changed over time. As he has gotten older, he no longer believes there is inherent goodness in every person like he used to. He admits to drinking too much and being trapped in a self-made cage. However, he also expresses his reliance on his partner, emphasizing that no words can explain how much he needs them in his life. He acknowledges that he has hurt his partner in the past but promises to stand by them through thick and thin. The song ends with the realization that his partner would be better off without him, but he can't find the words to express his love and gratitude for them.
