Talk
Erith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't think I'm as kind as I say
I think I tempt fate just to fuck something up so I
Could have something to talk about should we talk it out?
Should i go back to bed? I don't think i should stay awake this late
Don't like myself in this midnight state but i do it
Anyway just to have something to talk about should we talk it out
I, i think I think too much.
I think you don't want me here
I think that you don't want me
I, i think I think too much.
I, i think I've almost had enough
I think you don't want me here
I think that you don't want me
Should we talk it out?
Should we talk it out?
The lyrics to Erith's song "Talk" tell the story of someone struggling with their own thoughts and feelings. The singer acknowledges that they may not be as kind as they appear to be and that they may even tempt fate just so that they will have something to talk about. Despite feeling uneasy in their own skin, they push themselves to stay awake and push their own limits just for the sake of having something interesting to talk about.
The chorus repeats the line "I think I think too much" which emphasizes the idea that the singer is caught up in their own thoughts and anxieties. They feel like they have almost had enough and wonder if the person they are talking to even wants them there. The repeated question "Should we talk it out?" suggests that there may be a conflict or issue that the singer is avoiding addressing. They are unsure whether to confront the problem or to simply retreat back to bed.
Overall, the lyrics to "Talk" offer a glimpse into the inner workings of someone's mind as they grapple with their sense of self and their relationships with others. The repeated references to talking suggest that communication is important, but the singer is uncertain whether they are ready to open up about their struggles.
