Song Meaning of “Tongues” by The Chariot
Tongues is a song about the need for communication and understanding in a world filled with misunderstandings. The narrator is looking for someone to talk with, for a language that they can both share so they can express how they truly feel. He wonders how he can express himself- if he can break through the barriers that have built up over the years between him and his beloved. He wants to make them understand that while words may hurt, silence can be just as destructive.
He wonders whether speaking in tongues could be their shared language, so they could bridge the gaps between them. If so, both of them would no longer be alone in the dark, and their relationship could finally heal. This is the narrator’s hope that language and understanding can bring light to his broken relationship, and help break down the walls that have been built up between them.
