| It's probably about a more generalized lack of communication among people, like other comments here have said, but personally I associate it with the frustration of trying to communicate with someone you care about when they're shutting you out. There's such a sense of restrained passion in the lyrics, the idea that the connection between these people is incredibly volatile ("if we met we would exhaust this place"), but it's being stifled by the other person's refusal to communicate. Having been there, I entirely understand the desperation to hear them just... say something, anything, to end the "days and weeks" of cold silence, to make that "breakthrough" and feel something again. Incredible song. | |

| I believe this song is about two people, maybe people in love. One is bored, numb, just living with what she knows, but it doesn't really bother her, but its driving him so insane he snaps. He begins to see it in everyone too after that, (the numbness) and he just wants her and in the end ("make me never forget this") anyone or someone who wants more, someone like him. | |

| I also find this song very encouraging, being fast-paced where in the end he's screaming for you to actually 'say something'. A lot of feeling and it really brings the message across. | |

| Yeah I agree, especially since I worked in an office where it says 'there is nothing at work, the faces have become like traffic'. And yes, every single day at work I get sick of people's faces especially when they gossip a lot ('multi-purpose conversations') which I can't stand. | |

| The best thing to do with this song is really reallly crank it up and just SCREAM the chorus... just wish there was more of it. "SAY SOMETHING, make it a direct hit" | |

| I've always heard this song as bascially "Say something worthwhile" Don't waste your life talking smalltalk and shite... say something interesting and insightful... something with meaning... But thats just me... | |

| This song is clearly about communication. I think it's about people who have some sort of a connection that cannot be expressed in words but a kind of desperation to do so. I really love this song it really speaks to me, I can tottally relate | |
