I Talk to the Wind
King Crimson Lyrics


Said the straight man to the late man
Where have you been?
I've been here and I've been there
And I've been in between

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear

I'm on the outside looking inside
What do I see?
Much confusion, disillusion
All around me

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear

You don't possess me
Don't impress me
Just upset my mind
Can't instruct me or conduct me
Just use up my time

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear

Said the straight man to the late man
Where have you been?
I've been here and I've been there and
I've been in between

Corazón de Hojaldre

[Verse 1]
Said the straight man to the late man
"Where have you been?"
I've been here and I've been there
And I've been in between

[Chorus]
I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear, the wind cannot hear

[Verse 2]
I'm on the outside looking inside
What do I see?
Much confusion, disillusion
All around me

[Chorus]
I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear, the wind cannot hear

[Verse 3]
You don't possess me, don't impress me
Just upset my mind
Can't instruct me or conduct me
Just use up my time

[Chorus]
I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear, the wind cannot hear

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus]
I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear, the wind cannot hear

[Verse 1]
Said the straight man to the late man
"Where have you been?"
I've been here and I've been there
And I've been in between

[Instrumental Outro]



You expected a name But it was me DIO

Since no one ever commented here with a similar interpretation of the song how I do, I now leave my comment.
I'm a 22 y/o woman with ADHD and this is a great way of showing how people like us live and breathe. I'm an inattentive type and I always space out into a whole new dimension of reality.
I've noticed that I use a unique coping mechanism for myself. Since I also have trouble expressing my thoughts and emotions, venting to another person never helped me. They either misunderstood me, or don't understand me at all.
I personally cope with things by venting to my thoughts. I let loose when I daydream and I feel comforted by it. (Mostly when I ride the bus or train, I love to escape into my very own dimension of reality)
"I talk to the wind, my words are all carried away" is what expresses this the best I think.

And when people would ask me how I always manage to keep a good mood, I think to myself "If they only knew" :')
It's almost like the like

Said the straight man to the late man "where have you been"
"I've been here and I've been there and I've been in between"

This "between" is my dimension of reality, my escape.




Is there a person who by mere coincidence has a psychologist kinda title? I'm suspecting myself to be autistic since I catch myself having autistic tendencies. Does, what I said above, give you a clue? It would really help me if someone could answer this question.

@Lou Cat That's actually so sweet?? You've made my day better than it already was :') I did not expect such a heartwarming response to this comment.

I really hope that I can find that someone, just like you did. I'm very happy that a person who has a similar way of thinking, has found their other half. I'm sincerely happy for you :)

I'm still figuring out how my real identity is like without "adjusting myself according to the person or situation" so I kind of don't have a single clue what kind of person my someone would be like, or if I even need a someone.

Anyway, thanks again for that wholesome answer and I wish you a nice (whatever daytime it is at your place).

Love from Germany 🫶🏼

Back in 1978, I caught my Mom listening to this on my headphones. She said she loved this. Miss her so much.

David Castle

I showed this to my late pop as well. Our parents are proud of us 🤘🏽

Robert Forsythe

I miss my Mother so much as well. Your Mother as mine misses us as well but they both see us now. This place we reside today is not what it appears.

@javierperez_21  Yes was a wonderful year 1969 and my life with my Princess 👸 ❤️ was a Dream.

MrE

That's a coincidence. Once back in the 70s I awoke to hear this, my album. I was amazed that my dad had it playing on the record turntable downstairs.

The flute solo on this song is like a candle in the darkness of this age we're living in.
