The excerpt is a lyrical passage from the Aaron Jaxon Band’s song “Say Hello.” It features two vocal personas, Speaker A and Speaker B, who trade verses that blend vivid, surreal imagery with existential questioning. The lyrics weave motifs of fire, darkness, sky, water, and time, juxtaposing love as a dream, fate, and mortality. Repetition of lines creates a hypnotic refrain, while the narrative oscillates between yearning, melancholy, and cryptic hope. The overall effect is a poetic, introspective song that explores identity, loss, and the fluid nature of reality through metaphor‑rich language.

Chapters

Breath like a gun and we're playing with fire. Flying high in the sky, baby, falling with fire. If your love is a dream, are you then someone else? But you know not what fortune tells, and would that I would wish you well. Smoke in my eyes was the laughin' at time. The hands and the mind and the soul intertwined. If the past is a child, are you livin' or dead? When God, he turned to you and said that aqua blue goes crimson red.
Say hello and find matter under Goodbye, changing time. Won't you say hello and find—
when darkness shines, do you learn more in black? Numerated answers in a dream, do you dead bring them back. If the clouds smile upon, are you out of your mind or out of understanding? Kind, seek not for what you care to find.
Say hello and find, no matter under my eyes, a goodbye in changing time.
Won't you say Tried not to grin when you told me he died. Thought I heard his laughter in the wind as the gatherers all cried. You said spending time out of mind, ever begging for change. It's the poison love and sugar pain that brings the return of the same.
Say hello and find. Matter of your mind. Goodbye, changing time. Won't you say hello and find. Say hello and find.
