Too Much Talking
Chew Lips Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's happening now
Out of nowhere with all to lose
Out of no- horse and leather told a story
Versions seem to be distorted
No one ever listened really
History or heavy breathing
Take a while to have a think about it
All the comfort of an old time lover
See him in the face of all the others
All over this town with faithless minds
All over this town
I'm being drawn in with pencil lines
Being drawn- horse and leather told a story
Versions seem to be distorted
No one ever listened really
History or heavy breathing
And there's such a thing as too much talking
Take a while to have a think about it
All the comfort of an old time lover
See him in the face of all the others
The lyrics of Chew Lips's song "Too Much Talking" seem to revolve around the idea of distorted versions of the truth and the consequences of excessive talking. The first verse starts with a reference to a truce, suggesting that something happened before that needed to be resolved. However, despite making the truce, the singer seems unsure of what's really happening, using the metaphor "out of nowhere with all to lose" to convey their sense of uncertainty. The line "horse and leather told a story" is ambiguous and could be interpreted in different ways, but it adds to the overall aura of mystery and intrigue in the song.
The second verse continues in the same vein, with references to faithless minds and being drawn in with pencil lines. The repeated phrases about horse, leather, and distorted versions of the truth seem to emphasize the idea that no one is really listening or paying attention, that history is being rewritten or forgotten, and that there's a lot of noise and talking but not much substance. The chorus brings the message home, stating that too much talking can be harmful and that it's important to take time to reflect and think things through before acting. The reference to an "old time lover" suggests that the singer is longing for something more genuine and sincere.
