Talking Words
Darker My Love Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, you got me talking words, got me talking words, got me talking words
Baby, you got me meaning less, got me meaning less

Another day the rain
Don't you bring the rain
I cant think of one thought
That has tried to dry the day

Like the too tall man
Or a little hand
If destruction is your nature
Lay down and I'll be your father

Baby, you got me talking words, got me talking words, got me talking words
Baby, you got me meaning less, got me meaning less

Walking love suit black
When you took care of that
Got you way down here
To share the rain you gave right back

A box with a name
A mouth to give away
Please take care of what you're seeing
Pierced like an open ending

Baby, you got me talking words, got me talking words, got me talking words
Baby, you got me meaning less, got me meaning less

Another day the rain
Don't you bring the rain
I've become a falling drop
Among the waves and waves

Baby, you got me talking words, got me talking words, got me talking words
Baby, you got me meaning less, got me meaning less

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Darker My Love's "Talking Words" are open to interpretation and can be analyzed in various ways. The song is about the power of love and how it can affect communication between two people. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Baby, you got me talking words, got me talking words, got me talking words" which highlights how the singer's feelings towards their partner has caused them to communicate more openly and passionately than before.

The opening lines of the song are "Another day the rain, don't you bring the rain, I can't think of one thought that has tried to dry the day." These lines suggest a mood of depression and isolation which can be attributed to the absence of the singer's lover. However, the next few lines, "Like the too tall man or a little hand, if destruction is your nature, lay down and I'll be your father" suggest that the singer is willing to provide comfort and protection to their partner, even if they have a destructive nature.

In the second verse, the singer talks about being in love and how it has changed them. "Walking love suit black, when you took care of that, got you way down here, to share the rain you gave right back." These lines suggest that the singer has experienced pain and heartache in the past and their partner has helped them heal. The line "Pierced like an open ending" suggests emotional vulnerability and the fear of being hurt again.

Line by Line Meaning

Baby, you got me talking words, got me talking words, got me talking words
You have made me so overwhelmed with emotions that I cannot find the correct words to express myself

Baby, you got me meaning less, got me meaning less
You have caused my thoughts and feelings to lose value and significance

Another day the rain
A new day has arrived, accompanied by rain

Don't you bring the rain
Please do not make the situation worse by adding rain to it

I cant think of one thought
I cannot come up with a single idea or notion

That has tried to dry the day
There is nothing that can help make this day any better

Like the too tall man
Similar to an overly tall individual

Or a little hand
Or a small appendage

If destruction is your nature
If causing harm is part of who you are

Lay down and I'll be your father
Please allow me to comfort you and guide you as a parental figure

Walking love suit black
Wearing a black suit that symbolizes love

When you took care of that
When you handled that situation with care and affection

Got you way down here
Bringing you down to a level where we can share our emotions

To share the rain you gave right back
To reciprocate the emotions you have shared with me

A box with a name
A labeled container

A mouth to give away
A means to express oneself openly

Please take care of what you're seeing
Be mindful of what you are perceiving and how it may affect you

Pierced like an open ending
Deeply impacted and affected, as if the situation has no clear resolution

I've become a falling drop
I have become insignificant and small, like a raindrop falling among many others

Among the waves and waves
Amidst strong and continuous emotions

White Fence appears on Californication soundtrack a couple times and Darker My Love with this song, music directors have such great taste in music. Tim is a hero.
