Talk
Atlas Bound Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And you wanna TALK it over
Oh yes, you do
You wanna get your hands on
Because you think you should
You wanna TALK it over
So you're one of us
We're alone honey, you're outside and
It's obvious

Talking, carry me a part of your dreams
'Cause dreaming doesn't interest me
'Cause we are far more concerned about them and when
When you're gonna learn your lesson
Or maybe we can TALK it over again
And then you can tell all your friends
Pretend they're who can make your ends meet
Oh you can TALK it over again
You can TALK it over again
Oh you can TALK it over again

So you wanna TALK it over
Oh yes, you do
You wanna get your hands on
Because you think you should
You wanna TALK it over
So you're one of us
We're alone honey, you're outside and
It's obvious
You wanna TALK it over

So you wanna TALK it over
Oh yes, you do
You wanna get your hands on
Because you think you should
You wanna TALK it over
So you're one of us
We're alone honey, you're outside and

It's obvious
You wanna TALK it over

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Atlas Bound's song "Talk" seem to be directed at someone who is seeking to be included and accepted by the group. The repeated use of "you wanna TALK it over" implies that the person is desperate to talk and prove themselves worthy of membership. The use of "one of us" implies that there is a level of exclusivity to the group and the person is currently on the outside looking in. The lyrics also suggest that the group is not interested in dreaming, but instead focused on practical matters such as learning from past mistakes and making ends meet.

The overall message of the song is that the group is content with their current state, and while the person may want to be included, they are not necessary for the group's happiness or success. The use of "we're alone honey" reinforces this idea that the group is self-sufficient and doesn't need the person's validation or input.

The use of repetition in the chorus and throughout the song emphasizes the group's confidence in their own identity and also serves to amplify the person's desperation to be included. The overall tone of the song is slightly ominous and dismissive, conveying a sense of superiority from the group towards the person seeking acceptance.
