Summary

This quote suggests that a well-crafted song, regardless of its length, possesses its own unique and self-explanatory language. It implies that music has the ability to communicate and evoke emotions, transcending the need for explicit clarification or external context. It emphasizes the importance of a song's ability to stand alone as a complete expression, capable of conveying meaning and resonating with listeners on its own terms.
