Say It Sideways (Darkwave Pig Latin) | Sindy Say It Sideways is a short, clever Pig Latin song about hidden meaning, outsiders, and saying
Say It Sideways is a short, clever Pig Latin song about hidden meaning, outsiders, and saying things without spelling them out. Blending spoken word with melody, the song uses Pig Latin as a coded language—understood by some, invisible to others. It’s playful on the surface, but intentional underneath, exploring how meaning can travel sideways and still land exactly where it’s meant to.
Plain English Lyrics
[Intro][Spoken Word] Some people hear words. Some people hear noise. Some people don’t notice when meaning bends. This isn’t for everyone.
[Verse 1] I learned early not to spell it out Say less, let it slip around You hear sounds, I hear doors Opening where they weren’t before
[Pre-Chorus] If you know, you smile If you don’t, it passes by Same sentence, different ears Same moment, different eyes
[Chorus] I don’t say it straight I don’t say it loud I say it sideways And it finds its crowd You think it’s nothing Just rhythm and play But the ones who get it Hear everything I say
[Verse 2] I talk in turns and broken lines Hide sharp truths in childish rhymes You laugh it off, I let you go It’s not meant for you to know
[Pre-Chorus] Some things live between the beats Some truths don’t like the light If you hear it, you’re already in If you don’t, that’s fine
[Chorus] I don’t say it straight I don’t say it loud I say it sideways And it finds its crowd It slips right past The ones who stay asleep But it lands clean With the ones like me
[Bridge] It’s not secret, it’s selective Not hidden, just protected Say it wrong, it breaks apart Say it sideways, it hits the heart
[Final Chorus] I don’t say it straight I don’t say it plain I say it sideways So it stays the same You hear a game I hear a sign If you understand me You were meant to this time
