Talk
Against The Current & Taka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But your eyes tell a story I've heard before.
And damn boy you must think I'm dumb
As if I didn't know about the things you've done.
Got a girl in every city,
But somehow you're still lonely.
I'm not the one to sit around waiting by my phone
So why don't we just call it what it is?
We both know we're getting what we give.
You say you really wanna change,
But all you do is talk, talk, talk then walk the same way.
I say what you don't wanna say:
I think we better stop, stop, stop before it's too late.
Don't say you wanna stay forever.
We both know that I know you better.
You say you really wanna change,
But all you do is talk, talk, talk...
Talk, talk, talk, talk!
I say I don't want this,
But I know that I miss you when you're gone
And being tangled up in those sheets
But I know that you're not what's good for me.
So why don't we just call it what it is?
'Cause everybody knows you're full of shit.
You say you really wanna change,
But all you do is talk, talk, talk then walk the same way.
I say what you don't wanna say:
I think we better stop, stop, stop before it's too late.
Don't say you wanna stay forever.
We both know that I know you better.
You say you really wanna change,
But all you do is talk, talk, talk...
Talk, talk, talk, talk!
Baby you know all you do
Is keep talking me back to you.
Your words don't mean a thing
'Cause I'm done listening.
All you do is talk
All you do is talk
All you ever do is talk, talk, talk, talk
You say you really wanna change,
But all you do is talk, talk, talk then walk the same way.
I say what you don't wanna say:
I think we better stop, stop, stop before it's too late.
Don't say you wanna stay forever.
We both know that I know you better.
You say you really wanna change,
But all you do is talk, talk, talk...
Talk, talk, talk, talk!
Talk, talk, talk, yeah
The lyrics of "Talk" by Against The Current and Taka convey a message of frustration and disappointment towards someone who keeps talking about making changes in their behavior, but never actually follows through. The opening lines set a confrontational tone, as the singer points out the contradiction between the other person's words and actions. The accusation that the person thinks the singer is dumb further highlights the lack of trust and sincerity in their relationship.
The chorus repeats the main idea that talking is not enough and that action is needed to make a real change. The singer is tired of waiting around for the other person to come through on their promises and is ready to call it quits. However, the conflicting emotions of missing the person when they are gone and being aware that they are not good for the singer make it clear that the decision is not an easy one.
Overall, the lyrics of "Talk" offer a relatable story about the struggle of dealing with someone who talks a big game but never follows through. It speaks to the disappointment and frustration that many people experience in relationships when promises are broken and trust is compromised.

You say you adore me,
You claim to be fond of me,
But your eyes tell a story I've heard before.
But your facial expressions and gestures hint me that you've said the same to others,
And damn boy you must think I'm dumb
And it appears that you consider me to be unintelligent,
As if I didn't know about the things you've done.
As if I am oblivious to the actions you have taken,
Got a girl in every city,
You have significant others in every urban area,
But somehow you're still lonely.
However, you still feel alone,
I'm not the one to sit around waiting by my phone
I refuse to idly wait for your communication,
While you're wasted telling other girls they're beautiful.
As you inebriatedly express admiration towards other women,
So why don't we just call it what it is?
Why don't we accurately label this situation?
We both know we're getting what we give.
We are both receiving what we deserve.
I say what you don't wanna say:
I speak what you avoid saying:
I think we better stop, stop, stop before it's too late.
I believe it is best to discontinue before it becomes too tardy.
Don't say you wanna stay forever.
Don't assert that you wish to remain permanently.
We both know that I know you better.
We both know that I have a better understanding of your true character.
Baby you know all you do
Darling, you are aware of the only action you perform
Is keep talking me back to you.
Is continually convincing me to return to you.
Your words don't mean a thing
Your statements aren't significant
'Cause I'm done listening.
Because I am no longer willing to hear them.
All you do is talk
You solely talk
All you ever do is talk, talk, talk, talk
Talking is your sole activity
Talk, talk, talk, yeah
Communicating endlessly.
You say you really wanna change,
You express that you truly wish to alter yourself as a person,
But all you do is talk, talk, talk then walk the same way.
However, you only speak but never improve your conduct.
We both know that I know you better.
We are both aware that I have a superior understanding of who you are.
But all you do is talk, talk, talk...
However, communication is your only action.
Talk, talk, talk, talk!
Conversing incessantly.

The story starts
Laying in the dark with someone new
I’m feeling tired from all the time I spent on you
But I know I’m strong
From all the trouble I’ve been through
The story starts
where the story falls apart with you
Don’t lie, bright eyes
Is it me that you see when you fall asleep?
Cause I know it’s you I dream about every night
Giving me a feeling like love in the summer
Way I’ve never felt with another
Don’t lie, bright eyes
Is it me that you see?
Tell me I’m not dreaming alone
The story starts
Lying in the dark broken and bruised
I count the scars left in my heart from losing you
And I was wrong
But let’s be honest you were too
I miss the part where I was falling hard for you
So don’t lie, bright eyes
Is it me that you see when you fall asleep?
Cause I know it’s you I dream about every night
Giving me a feeling like love in the summer
Way I’ve never felt with another
Don’t lie, bright eyes
Is it me that you see?
Tell me I’m not dreaming alone
I can’t take back the things I said
And I won’t say that I regret
Any day that I was yours
Don’t lie, bright eyes
I know it’s me that you see when you fall asleep
And you know it’s you I dream about every night
Giving me this feeling like love in the summer
Way I’ve never felt with any other
Don’t lie, bright eyes
It’ll always be you and me,
So why are we dreaming alone?
It’ll always be you and me,
So why are we dreaming alone?

@aaronfischer3653
If you listen carefully 2:07 i would say, he sings "legled" insted of "regret" but that is just my opinion.
But nothing to blame him for.This song is amazing.
