Lyrics for Foreign Language as interpreted by nightingai1e

Foreign Language Lyrics
boys speak in rhythm, and girls in code
tell it to me straight, give it to me now
face forward, face forward

you're speaking foreign language (nothing I can translate)
you're speaking foreign language (nothing I can dictate)
you're speaking foreign language (nothing I can translate)
you're speaking foreign language

boys speak in rhythm, and girls just lie
tell me how you feel, come out of the dark
and we can head back home and I'll know where to start

you're speaking foreign language (nothing I can translate)
you're speaking foreign language (nothing I can dictate)
you're speaking foreign language (nothing I can translate)
you're speaking foreign language

where did we go wrong
we need medication for this miscommunication
where did we wrong
our conversations weaken

boys speak in rhythm and girls in code
boys speak in rhythm and girls just lie

"where did we go wrong, we need medication for this miscommunication, where did we go wrong, our conversations weaken."

i can't even begin to describe the meaning behind this song. so simple and yet so complex, just like all relationships.

I love all of AnBerlin's songs, but "Ready Fuels" is really my favorite. "Driving" and "Ready Fuels" just make me feel so free and so wild and happy to be so young

More importantly than crapping on about "Anberlin is so cool and I love them forever" and "I relate this song to myself" ...Does anyone have any idea what this song actually means?

Well I think it's pretty straightforward. It can be taken either on a personal level or a society level. In one way he is talking about a personal relationship where two people are having trouble communicating. But if you take the broader concept, it could be the divide in society between men and women. We may as well be speaking foreign languages to each other sometimes, because men don't always understand women and vice versa.

haha not funny us grls dont lie... but i do think the "girls in code" is true because we often want guys to understand us right away w/o us saying stuff right out

i think this song is pretty accurate.
even though he is totally being one sided. saying that girls speak in code and that we are liars..
when guys do the same sometimes.

he's pretty right about us girls speaking code.
girls expect guys and sometimes others to understand them without being straightforward. no one is going to know what we want unless we say it straight out.

pretty fucking awesome song.

This song is pretty straightforward, I think - just about hwo guys and girls think and operate differently, and it's hard to understand each other, sometimes :(

ok the meaning of this song in my opinion is like guys speak one way (in rhythm) which girls don't always understand and girls talk in a different way (in code) this is based on a personal expierience like most of there songs and most girls i know love to lie to get what they want and love blaiming other people please no one take that personal it not all girls but they do and so do we guys but i think this miscommunication makes it seem like everyone is lying when really in there mind they are not so do not take this song personal it has a deeper meaning i think
