Lovely Lyrics

You say things with your mouth
Cobwebs and flies come out
I hear a second voice behind your tongue somehow
Luckily I can read your mind
Flies and cobwebs unwind
They will not take you down
They will not cast you out.

Dear friend, here we...

    This song is telling us not to commit suicide, but to believe that our lives are worth fighting for, and even if we think otherwise, someone out there loves us. We aren't alone in this world. There is hope. When he says "you say things with your mouth cobwebs and flies come out", I feel like he's saying that when you SAY you're ok, you really mean the opposite. He wants you to know that you're not worthless. Stay alive people, you are loved

    this song is so beautiful. Tho I have never plotted suicide, I have felt very insecure and bad about myself. I've been bullied and cyber raped before, and I've felt pretty damn bad about it. Then one of my friends told me about this song, so I listened to it. I cant tell you how hard I cried. It made me so happy! I think this song k's telling all suicidal people to believe that God loves them so much, and that their life is worth fighting for. Stay alive, I dont care who you are, but I love you oT

    I see Lovely to be about a friend that doesn't think she's good enough or pretty enough, and hides behind her lies of "I'm fine" and "I'm okay." But when the cobwebs begin to unwind I get the sense that it's kind of her breaking down as Tyler (or whoever) can see they're struggling with themselves and he just wants to show them they're lovely and worth it, if only they'd let him.

    I think that it is about how a person says their fine but he can tell their not and that they might be suicidal and he is trying to have them not kill themselves beacause they are important and that he wants to help him get through it.

    I think Lovely is about a person, possibly a friend, that says that they're fine and Tyler knows they're lying and he wants them to see how much they actually mean

    I think the song is a about a person you hates himself and his friend want make him believe that here are lovely,great and anything else. Friends feel it if you´re not oky and than they do everthing to make you happy.

    I believe that lovelyis about a person asking their friend about how he feels and this friend lies and therefore "cobwebs and flies come out", this interpretation of the friend lying is further backed up when Tyler states that he can hear another voice telling him otherwise. The friend is convinced that he/she is not worthy or deeded and thus Tyler trys to convince him/her and tell him/her that he/she is " lovely".:'(

    This song is about the mass of kids out there who feel like they don't belong in this world. This person is trying to help their friend and this friend is just one kid in the mass of unwanted youth who can't find the will to live. This person feels worthless. He/she has nothing left to live for. They're giving up on life.

    It's just like:


    "Maybe I'm just so in love with you, so you can't lie me, unless you try to with words"

    "Maybe I'm too in love with you that I want you to know how precious and incredible and lovely you look to me"

    "Maybe you don't want to save yourself, but I want to, so let me in, and I will fight for you, I'll be happy if you love me, and I'll try to save you if you let me"

    i think that when he says cobwebs and flies he mean that person is lying and when he says second voice he knows that they're not OK and when he says can read your mind that means Tyler knows the truth of this person and he says God hit me straight on hes telling God to give Tyler the reason of why this person is sad.

    Lovely is about someone trying to keep another person alive. When Tyler says "you say things with your mouth cobwebs and flies come out" he is saying that this person is telling lies about how okay they are. When he says "I hear a second voice behind your younger somehow" he is saying how even though they're saying they're okay, he knows they're not. He can sense it by the 'second voice'.

    This song is about a boy (or possibly girl) who knows this other friend. It's unclear how close they are, but I'm guessing relationship-close, or best friendship-close. The narrator is telling their friend that they need to stay alive, if only just for them. They are trying to make them believe that they are "lovely", or have worth in someone's life.
