Something to Talk About
Ira Losco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm swimming up against the tide
I had my reasons to be there
Not for you and not for anyone else
I'll take a second of your time
You give me yours I'll give you mine
We should be taking it somewhere
You give me something to shout out
You give me something to talk about
You got me shouting you got me jumping off the walls
You got me high you gimme something I can change
I dunno why I dunno why we're walking out the door
You got me walking out the door
... shout... shout
Shout out
And you give me something to shout out
And you give me something to talk about
Sometimes I recognise my face
There's something I cannot replace
I've got my reasons to be here
Not for you and not for anyone else
You give me something to shout out
You give me something to talk about
You got me shouting you got jumping off the walls
You got me high you gimme something I can change
I dunno why I dunno why we're walking out the door
You got me walking out the door
... shout... shout
Shout out
In Ira Losco's song Something to Talk About, the first two lines of the opening verse suggest that the singer may have done something unconventional, and is going against the expected or accepted norm. The following two lines state that she had her reasons for doing so, but not for the benefit of anyone else. This suggests an element of individuality or non-conformity that the singer embraces, and she is not doing something simply for the approval or acceptance of others.
In the chorus, the singer reflects on how the actions of another person bring excitement and energy to her life. This person gives her something to shout about and talk about, which suggests that they have a vibrant and dynamic connection. The second verse reintroduces the idea of the singer having her own reasons for being present, but the chorus seems to emphasize the power that another person can have in bringing joy and vitality into her life.
Overall, the song seems to celebrate authenticity and the unique qualities that give us something to talk about. The singer is unapologetically herself, and she values connections and experiences that are genuine and heartfelt. The chorus suggests that in a world that can sometimes feel stagnant or dull, the people and things that make us shout and talk are the ones that keep us connected and engaged with the world around us.
