Talk
Coldplay [Www.RockDL.Net] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh brother, I can't, I can't get through
I've been trying hard to reach you 'cause I don' know what to do
Oh brother, I can't believe it's true
I'm so scared about the future, and I wanna talk to you
Oh, I wanna talk to you

You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or a write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done

Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
Tell me, how do you feel?
Well, I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak
And they're talking it to me

So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done
Or do something that's never been done

So you don't know where you're going and you wanna talk
And you feel like you're going where you've been before
You tell anyone who'll listen, but you feel ignored




Nothing's really making any sense at all, let's talk
Let's talk, let's talk, let's talk

Overall Meaning

The song "Talk" by Coldplay is a contemplation of one's fears and uncertainties about the future. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and helplessness, as the singer tries to reach out to someone – presumably a brother – for comfort and guidance. The repetition of "Oh brother" in the first two lines emphasizes the urgency and sincerity of the singer's need to connect with someone who understands them.


The second verse of the song uses vivid imagery to describe the possibilities of the future – climbing a ladder to the sun, writing a never-before-sung song, or doing something that's never been done before. The lyrics suggest that the future is unknown and unpredictable, but also full of potential and opportunity. The question "Are you lost or incomplete?" is a poignant reminder of how it feels to not have a clear sense of purpose or direction in life.


The chorus of the song speaks to the frustration of feeling misunderstood or ignored. The singer feels like they are trying to communicate in a language that nobody else understands, which only amplifies their sense of isolation and anxiety. The repetition of "Let's talk" is a plea for connection and empathy.


Overall, "Talk" is a deeply emotional and introspective song that deals with themes of fear, uncertainty, and the search for meaning in life.

Oh, brother, I can't, I can't get through
I've been trying hard to reach you
‘Cause I don't know what to do
Oh, brother, I can't believe it's true
I'm so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you
Oh, I wanna talk to you

You could take a picture of something you see
In the future, where will I be?
You could climb a ladder up to the Sun
Or write a song nobody had sung
Or do
Something that's never been done

Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle
You can't find your missing piece?
Tell me how you feel
Well, I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak
And they're talking it to me

So, you take a picture of something you see
In the future, where will I be?
You could climb a ladder up to the Sun
Or write a song nobody had sung
Or do
Something that's never been done
Do
Something that's never been done

So, you don't know where you're going and you wanna talk
And you feel like you're going where you've been before
You'll tell anyone who'll listen, but you feel ignored
Nothing's really making any sense at all
Let's talk, let's talk, let's talk, let's talk

They used to, but not anymore it seems. this here is 2005! Now they haven't had a real catchy hit in a long time!

They lost that edge that comes with wealth and stardom sometimes. Perhaps not. But we will see what the future holds.

Nothing they will ever create, (future) can touch this here, just don't see it.
