Talk About It
Hughes Glenn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the coldness of love’s sweet illusion
There’s a sadness that stands in my way
There’s a note that I left in the hallway
Tellin’ you that I could never stay
You never wanted me I’m outta time
Now I’ve got nothin’ to say
I don’t even hear a word you say
I don’t want to talk about it
I just turn my back and walk away
I’m the kind that lives with emotion
Now do I have to live on my own?
I would cross every mountain and ocean
Tell me why has your heart turned to stone
You never wanted me, I’m outta time
Now I’ve got nothin’ to say

The lyrics to Glenn Hughes' song "Talk About It" convey a deep sadness and feeling of abandonment in a romantic relationship. The opening line, "In the coldness of love's sweet illusion," sets the tone for the feeling of disillusionment and heartbreak that follows. The singer feels that an obstacle (represented by sadness) stands in the way of their love, and they have decided to leave a note in the hallway instead of confronting their partner in person. The line "You never wanted me I'm outta time" suggests that the relationship was one-sided or that the singer's partner lost interest in them.
The chorus, "I don't want to talk about it, I just turn my back and walk away," highlights the emotional pain the singer experiences in this situation. They feel so hurt and disengaged that they don't even want to talk about what's been going on. The second verse reiterates the singer's commitment and loyalty to the relationship despite their partner's apparent disinterest. The metaphorical language, "I would cross every mountain and ocean," shows that the singer is willing to go to any lengths to save the relationship, but their partner's "heart turned to stone." The final line, "Now I've got nothing to say," emphasizes the overwhelming silence that has developed between these two people.
Overall, Glenn Hughes' "Talk About It" is a poignant and candid portrayal of the longing, heartbreak, and communication breakdown that can occur in romantic relationships.

I agree, he is one of the most gifted singers ever, and so underated.

This is one of the best vocals ever recorded in the history of rock music. I can't think of anything that tops it, actually. The song is also phenomenal.
Orlando Rodriguez
Well theres Saxon a very formidable Gargantua Robert halford,Bruce Dickinsong Ronald james Dio but Glenn has no equal
Quinn Miller
This song is so damn good. Emotional, connecting... and Glenn's singing is pure perfection. The rest of the band's on fire as well. The entire Addiction album is first rate but this has to be my favorite.
