For the past year, LÉON and Swedish producer, Agrin Rahmani, have been developing a strong body of work, the first taste of which we heard on "Tired Of Talking", her debut single. In 2018. In the buildup toward her debut album, LÉON scored another hit with it's rousing single, "You and I" the album, simply titled LÉON, appeared in March 2019, followed by tours of Europe and North America.
In October 2020, she returned with her sophomore album, "Apart". Recorded in Stockholm with longtime collaborator Martin Stilling, the album found LÉON continuing to build on her mellow, melodic pop sound. "Circles", her third full-length album, arrived in March 2022. Inluded on the album were the previously released singles, "Dancer, "Soaked, and "Wishful Thinking".
Tired of Talking
LÉON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something just feels different about you babe
Don't wanna hear about your crazy drunk night out
I don't believe that you just passed out on the couch
I can see it, something in the way you move
You're acting like there's something left to prove
And all these lies they keep on slippin' out
I said I don't believe that you just passed out on the couch
On and on and on it goes
On and on and on it goes
'Cause I've been nothing but good to you
You're howlin' into the night won't do
I'm tired of talking, talking, talking, talking
I've been nothing but good to you
Every moment my heart went black and cold
Nothing stings as much like never knowing
What you've been up to, whose bed you're crashing now
I wanna get rid of the feeling, turn it all around
'Cause I've been nothing but good to you
You're howlin' into the night won't do
I'm tired of talking, talking, talking, talking
I've been nothing but good to you
Get out the door and disappear
When you get home I won't be here
Don't act surprised as if you cared
Don't even bother
'Cause I've been nothing but good to you
You're howlin' into the night won't do
I'm tired of talking, talking, talking, talking
I've been nothing but good to you
'Cause I've been nothing but good to you
You're howlin' into the night won't do
I'm tired of talking, talking, talking, talking
I've been nothing but good to you
The lyrics of Lèon's song "Tired of Talking" are about a person who feels like they cannot trust their partner anymore. The singer notices that something is different and they suspect that their partner has been lying to them. They are tired of hearing excuses and lies and express their frustration with the constant talking. The singer feels like they have been nothing but good to their partner and cannot understand why they are being treated this way. The chorus repeats several times, emphasizing the singer's fatigue with the situation.
The tone of the song is somber, and the repetitive structure of the chorus highlights the singer's feelings of being stuck in the same situation over and over again. The use of the phrase "howling into the night" adds to the feeling of loneliness and desperation. The singer desires a change in the situation, and the last lines suggest that they may be leaving the relationship.

There are not many songs, where you just could sit down and listen from beginning to end and enjoy it as it is. This is ART. :)
