I think it's meant at a higher level. This is one of the basic tenets of philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein's ideas:
"The limits of one's language are the limits of one's world." It's controversial, but the concept being if you can't speak about it, you really can't know it fully. This gets very fuzzy when experiencing art or emotions, but there is a cold logic to it that I appreciate, too.
