Talk
Ciel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can we talk
within the fire of our hearts
You said I had it all had it all
but it just drives us apart

Please speak
and wear your heart upon your sleeve
Don't fear to let it out, let it out
it's the only way for me

Figuring out now
Figuring out now

Why do you adore me
reminisce of glory
I cannot explain
how it tore me down
tore me down

Your words
lost in layers of restraint
D'you wanna keep it real, keep it real
buried deep under your veins

White lies
they spread their ugly little wings
Feel them creeping in, creeping in
They kinda crawl under my skin

Figuring out now
figuring out now

Why do you adore me
reminisce of glory
I cannot explain
how it tore me down
tore me down

Those habits (that) we're raised with
how do I erase it?
I cannot explain




but it tore me down
tore me down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ciel's song "Talk" delve into the complexities and struggles of communication within a relationship, particularly focusing on the barriers that hinder honest and open dialogue. The opening lines, "Can we talk within the fire of our hearts," set the tone for a desire to have deep and meaningful conversations, but the acknowledgement that something is causing a rift between the two individuals. The notion that "having it all" only serves to drive them apart suggests that despite possessing seemingly everything to make the relationship work, there are underlying issues that prevent true connection.


The plea for honesty and vulnerability is emphasized in the lines, "Please speak and wear your heart upon your sleeve, Don't fear to let it out, let it out, it's the only way for me." This highlights the importance of authenticity and emotional transparency in order to bridge the gap between the couple. The repeated motif of "Figuring out now" reflects a sense of confusion and introspection, as both parties try to understand each other better and unravel the complexities of their relationship.


The chorus questions the reason behind the admiration and nostalgia within the relationship, juxtaposed with the pain and turmoil that it brings. The inability to comprehend the impact of past experiences and ingrained behaviors is evident in the lines, "Those habits (that) we're raised with, how do I erase it?" This struggle to break free from the patterns and influences of the past underscores the challenges of personal growth and change within the context of a partnership.


Overall, the lyrics of "Talk" by Ciel paint a poignant picture of love, loss, and the difficulties of communication in a relationship. Through evocative imagery and heartfelt expressions, the song captures the emotional turmoil and inner conflict that can arise when trying to navigate the complexities of intimacy and connection. The themes of vulnerability, honesty, and self-reflection shine through, urging listeners to confront their own barriers to communication and strive for deeper understanding and connection with their loved ones.
