about

Them Unsaids’ angular shifting interlocking of voice, bass and drums speaks to a growing frustration at the kind of small silences Audre Lorde speaks about in ‘Your Silence Will Not Protect You’ / ‘The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action’, whose echoes can be heard in the invitation of the closing refrain: “Tell me all the words you are yet to
possess”.

lyrics

Got
Me
Round the waist
Keep holding
If you can’t be there what do you do?
Copper inside say what have you done
But if you can’t be held then where do you hum?
Happy girl sideways look at the sun

I await
What I’d always wanted
Can I speak desire?
Could I deserve a piece of the cake?
All of these shapes inside of me at stake

How did I get so far out of line with what is all mine?

What you got there behind your eyes
Your tongue
Your unsaids will not protect you
But if you call me by your name I’ll be undone
If we’re here to sweat then where is the drum
And if you’re high where we were you won?
And if you’re high where we were you won?

Can I speak what I’ve always wanted?
Can I speak desire?
Could I deserve a piece of the cake?
All of these shapes inside of me at stake

How did I get so far out of line with what is all mine?
How did I get so far out of line with what is all mine?

If you don’t take some what do you do?
Got me at the high jump, back in a twist
Tell me all the words you are yet to possess?
You can ride here in your lungs
Tell me where I go, here in my gut
I’ve got an H-E-double L for what I give up
Every time I shrink wrap a piece of me up (Even if a high word)

Got (Even if a high word)
Me (Even if a high word)
Round (Even if a high word)

The waist (Even if a high word)
Keep (Even if a high word)
Holding (Even if a high word)
Two step to the centre
Copper inside is much quieter now
Ready to be held, palms like stars, raised high
Look me in the eyes and turn up the light

How did I get so far out of line with what is all mine?
How did I get so far out of line with what is all mine?
Tell me all the words you are yet to possess?
Tell me all the words you are yet to possess?
Tell me all the words you are yet to possess?
Tell me all the words you are yet to possess?
