Talk Radio
The Track Record Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She says do you make moments last forever
Are you the guy that they say comes with nights that never end
Just like with every sun rise
We'll think this is what we evnision always wanted
And of course we'll tell all of our friends
That we swear this never happened
That we swear this never happened
Lying in your bed and to yourself
Waiting for the one that loves you
Go ahead hold your breath
But it's useless
Cause time flys faster than ticking bombs
As spring hatches for winter
Go ahead slit your wrists
Go ahead hold your breath
Go ahead slit yoiur wrists
Just like the sound of talk radio at two seventeen am
She says do you make moments last forever
Are you the guy that they say comes with nights that never end
Just like with every sunrise
We'll think this is what we envision always wanted
And of course we'll tell all of our friends
That we swear this never happened
So count your blessings
Take a chance here and there and you'll be alright
She always has her tv on
She needs to know the latest fashion
They say we're doing just fine
Go ahead hold your breath
Don't be sad beauty queen your someones daughter
Don't be sad beauty queen your someones sister
Don't cry beauty queen
One day you'll be a mother
And of course we'll tell all of our friends
The Track Record's song "Talk Radio" is a poignant and bittersweet reflection on the fleeting nature of life and relationships. The song opens with a lyrical description of being up late at night, listening to talk radio and wondering if one can make moments last forever. The singer questions if they are the kind of person who is known for never-ending nights and evokes the traditional romantic notion of wanting to freeze a perfect moment in time.
The chorus is a beautiful counterpoint to this desire for permanence, with the sunrise serving as a reminder that time moves on, and what we think we want in the moment may not be what we truly desire. The singer acknowledges that they will likely deny that anything ever happened between them, despite the fact that they are compelled to spend time together. The second verse descends into a darker place, with a reference to lying in bed and waiting for love, but realizing that time moves too quickly to hold onto it. The final verse is somewhat hopeful, with the suggestion to take a chance and count your blessings, even as the singer continues to question the value of endless news and fashions.
Overall, "Talk Radio" is a beautiful and poetic meditation on the ephemeral nature of life and relationships. Its evocative lyrics, paired with The Track Record's lush indie-pop sound, create a powerful emotional impact that will resonate with listeners long after the song has ended.
