Talk About It
Erik Hassle ft. 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" express a complex mix of desire, vulnerability, and detachment. The singer describes a woman who doesn't fall in love easily and can quickly move on from romantic partners. Despite the physical attraction and the momentary feeling that something is real, the singer senses that the other person carries secrets and lies that ultimately hurt them. However, the singer is also struggling to maintain emotional detachment from the situation, as the "ride" they're on is something special but uncertain. The repeated refrain of "I don’t wanna talk about it, no / Then nothing would be beautiful between us" suggests that the singer would rather avoid confronting the truth of the situation and preserve the illusion of a beautiful, self-contained bubble of passion.
Overall, the song captures the tension and ambivalence that can exist when two people are caught up in a fleeting, intense connection but know that it can't last. The lyric "Just let me know what you would call/ This thing between us" suggests that the singer is trying to navigate the undefined nature of their relationship, but isn't sure what label or definition applies. The song's dreamy, slightly melancholic sound adds to the sense of bittersweetness and emotional limbo.
