You have a lot of room to play with chords on this song since there are not many underlying harmonies. The song can be mostly played with the same chord progression for its entirety. [Intro] What you mean what you mean? What you mean man what you mean? What you mean yeah what you see? What you see yeah oh yeah [Verse 1] Well I need a little something to pull my head off Need a little something to pull my head off yeah Need a little something Because I’ve been running from the truth Will never lose Lies come from loose teeth tied to the noose Climbing up my own tree hoping it can hold All the things I’ve seen but I’ve chosen to ignore        Well I said well I believe I’ve been well fed yeah But the wolf’s not dead [Chorus] Say what you love it’s alright Don’t be afraid to find the light Embrace the day like night We hear the fire We all go wild again And you have the name Of someone I love You said just keep it true Lift up your name Seasons change You know it’ll never be the same We’ll see the sun again Before it fades I just wanna say that I love you [Verse 2] Pay the man pay the man Got to pay the man Run as fast as you can Call out to God praise to the Most High Call out for help cause I’m playing with fire Call out to mountains till my voice goes faint Echoes through time that goes back with new strength [Interlude] And when it’s raining We’re sailing Oh yeah we’re sailing We’re sailing [Verse 3] I’m off the leash I go to war for peace Must’ve been touching everything that I can I’ve got blood on my hands Guess I’m going deaf with the cry of this sin Please forgive me I don’t understand We all believe we’ve been well fed           The deaf man heard what the mute man said Then they all followed where the blind man led [Chorus] Say what you love it’s alright Don’t be afraid to find the light Embrace the day like night We hear the fire We all go wild again And you have the name Of someone I love You said just keep it true Lift up your name Seasons change You know it’ll never be the same We’ll see the sun again Before it fades I just wanna say that I love you [Bridge] Pay the man pay the man Pay the man pay the man you got to Pay the man pay the man Pay the man pay the man you got to I was laughing real hard until my teeth fell out Laughing real hard until my teeth fell out Was laughing real hard but my teeth fell out Need a little something yeah Need a little something [Chorus] You said just keep it true Lift up your name Seasons change You know it’ll never be the same We’ll see the sun again Before it fades I just wanna say that I love you [Outro] Can’t you see can’t see me Can’t see me can’t see me And can’t see me can’t see me We all run when the light comes on Am I wrong for wanting it all? But I warned you

La chanson aborde des thèmes de lutte intérieure et de recherche de vérité. L'artiste évoque un besoin d'authenticité dans un monde où il peut être difficile de faire face aux réalités, tout en soulignant la nécessité de s'affirmer et de trouver sa propre lumière. Il parle de l'importance de reconnaître ses erreurs et de se libérer des mensonges qui nous entourent, tout en gardant espoir en des jours meilleurs. Le contexte semble refléter une quête spirituelle, où l'appel à Dieu et à une force supérieure est omniprésent. Cette dynamique entre la lutte personnelle et la recherche d'une connexion plus profonde avec le divin traverse la chanson, transmettant ainsi un message de résilience malgré les épreuves.
