Talk
Heaven's Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You poison me with your sweet talk love
Hold me hostage until I give it up
Noose around my neck, think I'll hang it up
Cold blooded killer, yeah
I'm so fucked

I let the smoke and mirrors get in the way
Of seeing there's nothing but only black white and grey
I know I always let the fire lead me astray
But there's only molten ecstasy

Don't you give me that sweet talk

Don't give me your sweet talk love now
When you're giving it to somebody else
Won't be so high when you come down
How'd you think I figured it out?
No more sweet talk
So don't you give me that sweet talk
No don't you give me that

You locked me up in your paradox
I tried to run but you cut me off
Kept me captive, I'm your prisoner
So tell me why you're so fucked up

Maybe you're addicted to the pain
But I can help, just let me in
I'd give my life to keep you safe
But that don't mean a thing

Don't give me your sweet talk love now
When you're giving it to somebody else
Won't be so high when you come down
How'd you think I figured it out?
No more sweet talk now
So don't you give me that
So don't you give me that sweet talk
So don't you give me that
No don't you give me that sweet talk

Your sweet talk just rolls off your tongue
Give me a break from what is dead inside you
Just leave me alone

Don't give me your sweet talk love now
When you're giving it to somebody else
Won't be so high when you come down
How'd you think I figured it out?
No more sweet talk now
So don't you give me that

Don't give me your sweet talk love now
When you're giving it to somebody else
Won't be so high when you come down
How'd you think I figured it out?
No more sweet talk now
So don't you give me that
So don't you give me that sweet talk




So don't you give me that
So don't you give me that sweet talk

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Heaven's song "Sweet Talk" portray a toxic and manipulative relationship. The singer is being controlled and emotionally drained by their partner's deceptive and insincere words. The opening lines, "You poison me with your sweet talk love, Hold me hostage until I give it up," convey the idea that the sweetness in their partner's words is actually harmful and damaging. The reference to a "noose around my neck" indicates the suffocating nature of the relationship.


The next verse suggests that the singer has been blinded by the illusions of the relationship, represented by "smoke and mirrors." They realize that everything is not as it seems, that there is a lack of genuine emotions and only shades of grey. Despite knowing that the fire and passion they feel is misleading, they are still drawn to it. They express a desire for their partner to stop manipulating them with their sweet talk, highlighting the pain and betrayal they feel upon discovering that their partner is giving that same affection to someone else.


The chorus repeats the plea for the partner to stop their deceitful behavior, and the singer questions why their partner is so messed up. The bridge emphasizes the singer's exhaustion and yearning for emotional freedom. They plead for their partner to leave them alone, suggesting that they have reached their breaking point and no longer want to be subjected to the toxic cycle.


Overall, "Sweet Talk" is a poignant portrayal of a relationship overridden with manipulation, lies, and emotional abuse. It captures the emotional turmoil and confusion one experiences when caught in such a toxic dynamic.
