The Next One Living
Big Talk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You seem so sure about it
No longer well affected I'm afraid
What you gonna do about it
It's all dependin' on what you are and what you are not
This one's given to the next one livin' one
This one's given to the next forgiven one
This one's given to the next forgiven
Well cry baby do it every day
There is no cure without it
Oh baby this affection's out of phase
What you gonna do about it
It's all dependin' on what you are and what you are not
This one's given to the next one livin' one
This one's given to the next forgiven one
This one's given to the next one livin' one
This one's given to the next forgiven
Well I got tired feelin' covered up in shame
A long time left without it
Walk for miles and covered in the rain
But your truth's alone and born in conflict
It's all dependin' on what you are and what you are not
This one's given to the next one livin' one
This one's given to the next forgiven one
This one's given to the next one livin' one
This one's given to the next forgiven
It's all dependin' on what you are and what you are not
This one's given to the next one livin' one
This one's given to the next forgiven one
This one's given to the next one livin' one
This one's given to the next forgiven

Say baby what you wanna say
Asking someone what they truly want to express
You seem so sure about it
Noticing confidence in their manner of speech
No longer well affected I'm afraid
Feeling emotionally distant from the situation
What you gonna do about it
Asking what plans they have to improve the situation
It's all dependin' on what you are and what you are not
Acknowledging that the outcome will depend on their true qualities
This one's given to the next one livin' one
Passing on the emotional burden to the next person
This one's given to the next forgiven one
Wishing forgiveness on the next person
Well cry baby do it every day
Encouraging tears as a cathartic release
There is no cure without it
Implying that emotional release is necessary to move on
Oh baby this affection's out of phase
Describing a love that is no longer in sync
Well I got tired feelin' covered up in shame
Admitting exhaustion from feeling ashamed
A long time left without it
Implying that this struggle has gone on for a while
Walk for miles and covered in the rain
Describing a long journey through the storm of emotions
But your truth's alone and born in conflict
Acknowledging that their truth may come at a cost
It's all dependin' on what you are and what you are not
Reiterating that the outcome relies on true qualities
This one's given to the next one livin' one
Repeating the idea that the emotional burden will be passed on

Lyrics
Warrant - Big Talk
Street fighting is looking for trouble
If you open your mouth
Your bound to rumble
Johnny looks tought
He's foze in the eyes
He keeps his mouth shut
He don't tell no lies
Johnny went out last night
Got in a bar room fight
Embarassed a jealous man
In front if his cheating wife
The man said "Tonight you won
But I'll tell you son,
This one's far from over"
Johnny said
CHORUS
Big talk is just talk
Unless, unless your backing it up
Big talk is cheap talk is
Only words unless you're backing it up
(We're backin' it up)

It's a shame that all of these great hair bands of the 80's were simply chewed up and spit out by the public in such a short span of time. Most of them deserved so much better.

@Debby Gollobit well said !
Kevin Blackburn
@OVI-Wan Kenobi you can say the same about record companies for every decade. They suck!
Kevin Blackburn
@boxxy trolley and let's face it. They were fun! You left their live shows with a smile on your face. They sang with you, not at you.
Kevin Blackburn
@Keith Vella agreed. no decade was more diverse than the 80's.
Kevin Blackburn
@horizon color You are absolutely correct. I am 56 and consider myself very lucky growing up with the music of the 70's and 80's. I like all genres and most decades (except for the crap that is coming out now). I will say most people change their opinion when they see bands like Warrant live.

One of my favorite Warrant songs. Listen to the lyrics and see if you get why. Now I don't know why some men lay down and die, Don't they believe in what they're saying? You should get on your feet, believe you can't be beat. Remember, talk is only playing. I remember what my old man used to say, never give up and run. Don't let the talking breeze blow you away, always remember, stick to your guns.

It’s been a long 10 years wow
The Jic
It’s 2019 and this tune still rocks

It's 2022 and Erik hasn't taken over lead 😒
Warrant would sound better IMO with Turner on lead or a hired gun like Stacey Blades.
