Erik Hassle feat. Elliphant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So don't celebrate
She's over you in just a minute
This girl likes to leave you
'Cause the space in my bed burns
Will somebody relieve me
But this ride is something else
It takes me out the game
But baby
I don't wanna talk about it, no
Then nothing would be beautiful between us
But baby, I don't want to think about it, no
Just let me know what you would call
This thing between us, baby
You sitting in front of me
Talking about how you feel
You say let's go back to your place
A moment it all feels real
Like if you would never leave
Then I see it in your eyes
You carry all these lies
Living life in disguise
You fucked me up inside
But this ride is something else
It takes me out the game
But this ride is something else
But baby
I don't wanna talk about it, no
Then nothing would be beautiful between us
But baby, I don't want to think about it, no
Just let me know what you would call
This thing between us, between us
I don't wanna talk about it, no
Then nothing would be beautiful between us
But baby, I don't want to think about it, no
Just let me know what you would call
This thing between us
Oh, oh, oh
Then nothing would be beautiful between us
But baby, oh, oh, oh
Just let me know what you would call
This thing between us, baby
The lyrics of “Talk about it” by Erik Hassle featuring Elliphant depicts the complexity and emotional turmoil in a relationship.

She likes to leave, and that the singer just wants someone to relieve him, because staying alone in bed is unbearable. The next few lines talk about how the relationship is like a ride that takes him out of the game. The chorus repeats that the singer doesn’t want to talk or think about it, and he asks his partner to define what exists between them. The second verse describes how the partner talks about how she feels and how for one moment, everything seems real, but the singer knows that it’s all lies, and it has messed him up inside.
Overall, the song reveals the singer’s reluctance to confront the challenges in his relationship or to define the status of the relationship. It is a reflection of the emotional trauma he is dealing with and his hesitancy to openly communicate his feelings or confront the truth.
