Don't Think
Lali Puna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm too slow for you talking
So quick your mouth moves
Can't think
As I am answering your questions
But you won't listen anyway
I could be mute
"Don't Think" is a song by the German electronic band Lali Puna that talks about communication problems in a relationship. The lyrics describe a situation where one partner is frustrated with the other for talking too quickly and not listening to them properly. The singer seems to feel as though they are unable to keep up with their partner's rapid-fire questions and conversation style. Despite their attempts to answer, the partner does not seem to be truly listening, leaving the singer feeling ignored and unheard. The line "I could be mute" implies the singer's frustration to the point of surrender and silence.
The song is a reflection of the band's signature style of dreamy electronics and warm vocals. The soft and soothing vocals of lead singer Valerie Trebeljahr represent the core of the song's emotions. The lyrics, however, are stripped down and straightforward yet communicative. The slow rhythm, gentle beats, and harmonious melody create a relaxed and introspective ambiance.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't think
Do not make assumptions
I'm too slow for you talking
I am not talking as fast as you
So quick your mouth moves
You are talking too fast
Can't think
I cannot think clearly because you are not allowing me to speak
As I am answering your questions
Despite me trying to answer your questions
But you won't listen anyway
You are not interested in listening to what I have to say
I could be mute
It does not matter if I do not speak, you would still not listen
