Everybody's Talkin'
Luna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

People stopping staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Backing off of the North East wind




Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Luna's song "Everybody's Talkin'" are a reflection of the singer's state of mind. They feel disconnected from the world around them and are lost in their own thoughts. The opening lines "Everybody's talking at me, I don't hear a word they're saying, only the echoes of my mind" suggest that the singer is feeling overwhelmed by the noise and chatter of the world. They cannot differentiate between the voices around them and the ones in their head.


The chorus of the song starts with "I'm going where the sun keeps shining, through the pouring rain, going where the weather suits my clothes." This is a metaphor for the singer's desire to escape from the world and find a place where they can be themselves. The line "Backing off of the North East wind, sailing on a summer breeze" further emphasizes this desire for freedom and escape. The singer wants to leave behind everything that is holding them back and explore the world on their own terms.
