Talia
King Princess Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I buried you a month or two ago
I keep thinking that you're standing on my floor
That you're waiting there for me
Hey, my love
You've walked out a hundred times out of us
Supposed to know this time that you wouldn't call
That you wouldn't come home
But four drinks I'm wasted
I can see you dancing, I can lay down next to you
At the foot of my bed
If I drink enough
I can taste your lipstick, I can lay down next to you
But it's all in my head
If I drink enough I swear that I will wake up next to you
When you left, you took my bestest friends away
And in this mess, I think I dug a thousand graves
Talia, I hope you're happy anyway
But four drinks I'm wasted
I can see you dancing, I can lay down next to you
At the foot of my bed
If I drink enough
I can taste your lipstick, I can lay down next to you
But it's all in my head
If I drink enough I swear that I will wake up next to you
Broke my heart, now I'm wasting my time on you
Broke my heart, now I'm wasting my time
If I drink enough
I can see you dancing, I can lay down next to you
At the foot of my bed
If I drink enough
I can taste your lipstick, I can lay down next to you
But it's all in my head
But four drinks I'm wasted
I can see you dancing, I can lay down next to you
At the foot of my bed
If I drink enough
I can taste your lipstick, I can lay down next to you
But it's all in my head
If I drink enough I swear that I will wake up next to you

She feels as if the person has taken away her best friends and that she is left with nothing but a mess that she created. The song ends with the singer admitting that she is wasting her time on the person who broke her heart.
Overall, "Talia" is a heartfelt and emotional song that captures the pain of a broken heart and the struggles one faces in trying to move on.

Hey, my love
Addressing a lost love
I buried you a month or two ago
Not literally burying but emotionally moving on
I keep thinking that you're standing on my floor
Imagining the lost love still present
That you're waiting there for me
Holding onto false hope
You've walked out a hundred times out of us
Failed attempts at making the relationship work
Supposed to know this time that you wouldn't call
Aware that the person won't come back
That you wouldn't come home
Acknowledging the end of the relationship
But four drinks I'm wasted
Using alcohol to cope with the pain
I can see you dancing, I can lay down next to you
Hallucinating the lost love
At the foot of my bed
In the same place as before
If I drink enough
Continuing to drink to cope
I can taste your lipstick, I can lay down next to you
Sensory experiences during the hallucination
But it's all in my head
Acknowledging the hallucination as not real
If I drink enough I swear that I will wake up next to you
Believing the hallucination will come true
When you left, you took my bestest friends away
Loss of social support after the end of the relationship
And in this mess, I think I dug a thousand graves
Mental state of despair
Talia, I hope you're happy anyway
Addressing the lost love by name and expressing hope for their happiness
Broke my heart, now I'm wasting my time on you
Realizing the futility of holding onto false hope
If I drink enough
Continuing to use alcohol to cope
I can see you dancing, I can lay down next to you
Repeating the same hallucination
But it's all in my head
Acknowledging the unreal nature of the hallucination
But four drinks I'm wasted
Continuing to use alcohol to cope
If I drink enough
Continuing to use alcohol to cope
I can taste your lipstick, I can lay down next to you
Repeating the same sensory experience in the hallucination
If I drink enough I swear that I will wake up next to you
Continuing to hold onto false hope through alcohol use

Oi meu amor
Eu te enterrei há um ou dois meses atrás
Eu continuo pensando que você está no meu andar
Que você está esperando lá por mim
Oi meu amor
Você desistiu de nós umas 100 vezes
Eu deveria saber que desta vez você não voltaria
Que você não voltaria para casa
Mas quatro drinques estou perdida
Eu posso te ver dançando, posso me deitar ao seu lado
Ao pé da minha cama
Se eu beber o suficiente
Eu posso provar seu batom, posso deitar ao seu lado
Mas está tudo na minha cabeça
Se eu beber o suficiente, eu juro que vou acordar ao seu lado
Quando você saiu, você levou meus melhores amigos
E nessa bagunça, acho que cavei mil túmulos
Talia, espero que você esteja feliz mesmo assim
Mas quatro drinques estou perdida
Eu posso ver você dançando, posso deitar ao seu lado
Ao pé da minha cama
Se eu bebo o suficiente
Eu posso provar seu batom, posso deitar ao seu lado
Mas está tudo na minha cabeça
Se eu beber o suficiente, eu juro que vou acordar ao seu lado
Partiu meu coração agora estou perdendo meu tempo com você
Partiu meu coração agora estou perdendo meu tempo
Se eu beber o suficiente
Eu posso ver você dançando, posso deitar ao seu lado
Ao pé da minha cama
Se eu bebo o suficiente
Eu posso provar seu batom, posso deitar ao seu lado
Mas está tudo na minha cabeça
Mas quatro drinques estou perdida
Eu posso ver você dançando, posso me deitar ao seu lado
Ao pé da minha cama
Se eu bebo o suficiente
Eu posso provar seu batom, posso deitar ao seu lado
Mas está tudo na minha cabeça
Se eu beber o suficiente, eu juro que vou acordar ao seu lado

Wow, I can tell that this song was written about a very close friend. A real bestie. An absolute gal pal. A true BFF. Her husband must be very proud of her music career.

I heard that her husband died of the "plague" and now she's moved in with a very close "gal pal". It's truly such a "tragedy"

Future historians be like: she misses her best friend

@Lauren Paz of course the mannequin will remain probably long after her and she'll probably miss her friend dearly tbh
