Talkin'
Kitcaliber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

hey this shit is getting old
hey this shit is out of our control
if we could stop it now
we'd stop it now
but that ain't gonna happen anyhow

i hear you talkin'
but i'm not listenin'
the sound of your voice is sweet
but i still just don't give a shit
your lips are movin'
but i'm not listenin'
the taste of your mouth is nice
but i don't think that i'll miss it

hey you know i'm kinda bored
hey but you're all i can afford
i tried to drop you now




but i can't drop you now
even though i'm an asshole anyhow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kitcaliber's song Talkin' convey a sense of frustration and resignation with a difficult and dysfunctional relationship. The singer acknowledges that things are "getting old" and "out of our control," suggesting that perhaps they have been struggling with some unresolved issues for some time. Despite the desire to "stop it now," the singer recognizes that such a resolution is unlikely to happen.


The chorus of the song, which repeats twice, focuses on the singer's inability to fully engage with their partner. Although the "sound" and "taste" of their partner is enticing, the singer is no longer invested in the relationship and cannot bring themselves to fully listen or respond to the other person.


The final verse of the song reveals some of the complexities of this situation. The singer acknowledges that they are "kinda bored" and would like to move on, but for some reason can't seem to do so. They seem to feel stuck or trapped, perhaps because they have invested too much time or energy in the relationship, or perhaps because they simply don't know how to let go.


Overall, the lyrics to Talkin' convey a complex mix of emotions - frustration, resignation, boredom, and perhaps even a lingering affection or attachment to the other person. The song captures the difficulty of ending a relationship that has become toxic or unsatisfying, and the struggle to move on even when we know that we should.

I would love so much for this song to be remastered or remixed. It feels like it needs a fresh coat of paint in the current, refined Kitcaliber style
