Hybrid AT 78 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 What exactly does the line "there's gonna be no love left to rye" mean in the song Speechless?ย Rye is a type of whiskey but Gaga uses the word as a verb "to rye" in the song and that has always had me intrigued about what she meant here. I haven't found a satisfactory explanation for this lyric yet, ever since it came out. How do you think the word rye fits in here with the rest of the lyrics?ย Oh, and stan this gorgeous, one of her best written songs(all of it by herself!) btw ย "I was protected by the monks of Azarath, I was raised by my friends. They are my family, this is my home and you are not welcome here." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFRatwell 23,290 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 โI can only guess it means that after he (death) gets you, there'll be nothing left to continue to indulge in rye (whiskey).โ -Yahoo answer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

River 108,650 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I think it's simply means "no love left to drink" but she wanted to give a twist to it and say rye as a type of drink. His fart felt like a kiss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you listen to her sing in the performances as well, she doesn't use a hard d sound as in ride nor a soft t sound as in write. It does sound like she's saying the word rye Oh well, I guess we'll never knowย "I was protected by the monks of Azarath, I was raised by my friends.

But she doesn't doesn't end the word in a soft t sound anytime she sings it. She does a short vibrato on ryyyyyeeee and then moves on to the next lyric. Some of the explanations posted here make sense with how she might have wanted to use the word rye too, tbh. "I was protected by the monks of Azarath, I was raised by my friends.
