Anthem Lights - Language Lyrics
Lyrics
I can't lie
Never could get the words on my mind
To come out right
But the way You speak
When you're not even moving your lips
Makes sense to me
You got me
Talkin gibberish like it's
My first sentence I've been
Learning phrases
To show you that I want you
Every time we talk
It's like you're teaching me another language
Every time we touch
Oh it's fireworks fireworks
I can't get enough
I'm addicted to your conversation
It's amazing
We're speaking our
Speaking our
Own language
Our own language
I don't mind
When you tell me a story I've heard
A hundred times
It's the way you speak
Your inflection and your passion
Is infatuating
You got me
Talkin gibberish like it's
My first sentence I've been
Learning phrases
To show you that I want you
Every time we talk
It's like you're teaching me another language
Every time we touch
Oh it's fireworks fireworks
I can't get enough
I'm addicted to your conversation
It's amazing
We're speaking our
Speaking our
Own language
Our own language
Talkin gibberish like it's
My first sentence I've been
Learning phrases
To show you that I want you
Every time we talk
It's like you're teaching me another language
Every time we touch
Oh it's fireworks fireworks
I can't get enough
I'm addicted to your conversation
It's amazing
We're speaking our
Speaking our
Own language
Our own language

Meaning & Inspiration
Anthem Lights’ "Language," released on September 2, 2022, invites listeners into a profound exploration of connection and communication, particularly through a spiritual lens. Given the band's identity and musical mission, the "You" in this song can be beautifully understood as God, and the "language" refers to the unique, intimate way He interacts with His children. The song captures the sentiment of being overwhelmed and transformed by a relationship that transcends mere words, painting a vivid picture of a believer's developing communion with the divine.
The song opens with an admission of human inadequacy in expressing deep thoughts and feelings, a common experience when attempting to articulate the magnitude of God. The lines describing a communication that doesn't require spoken lips, yet "makes sense," perfectly illustrate how the Holy Spirit speaks to our hearts. Romans 8:26-27 tells us that the Spirit intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express, highlighting a communication that bypasses our limited vocabulary. Similarly, Psalm 19:1-4 declares that the heavens proclaim God’s handiwork without speech or words, yet their message is heard universally. This understanding of God’s non-verbal, deeply intuitive communication profoundly impacts the individual, leading to an eager, almost childlike response. The feeling of "talking gibberish" and "learning phrases" reflects the initial, stumbling yet sincere steps of a new believer, or a seasoned one encountering fresh revelation, earnestly desiring to express love and devotion to God. It’s the journey of discipleship, learning to walk in His ways and to articulate our faith more fully, as Psalm 25:4-5 speaks of learning God's paths and truths.
The central theme of learning "another language" with every interaction beautifully encapsulates the spiritual growth experienced in a relationship with God. Every moment spent in prayer, studying Scripture, or simply existing in His presence reveals new facets of His character and new ways to understand His will. As 1 Corinthians 2:13-14 states, spiritual truths are discerned spiritually, a language the natural person cannot fully grasp. This is not just intellectual understanding, but a soul-deep recognition. The sensation of "fireworks" and being "addicted to conversation" speaks to the overwhelming joy and consuming desire for God's presence and communion. It's the fulfillment promised in Psalm 16:11, "in your presence there is fullness of joy," and the deep spiritual hunger that only His living Word and presence can satisfy, echoed in Psalm 42:1-2 where the soul pants for God. This isn't a casual acquaintance but a profound, life-altering bond, where both God and the believer communicate in a unique, shared spiritual dialect, defining their "own language."
The idea that even stories heard "a hundred times" remain infatuating, fresh, and captivating when told by God, speaks directly to the timeless nature of His Word. The truths of the Bible, from creation to redemption, never grow old. Each time we engage with Scripture, the Holy Spirit breathes new life and understanding into familiar passages. Hebrews 4:12 reminds us that "the word of God is living and active," sharper than any two-edged sword, always capable of revealing deeper insights and passion. This isn’t about novel information, but about the living God personally speaking through His established Word, revealing His unchanging love and character with an inflection and passion that consistently draws us closer. This intimate relationship with God transforms our understanding of communication itself, making our walk with Him an ongoing discovery of His unique language of love, grace, and truth, deepening our affection and devotion with every passing moment.
