Don't Talk
MASN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’m getting dizzy, I can’t straighten out my thoughts
I know that I need help but
Nobody wants to hear that
I’m off the deep end and you’re waving from the top
You know that’s the place that I go
It’s the only way that I know
Shhh
Don’t talk, don’t talk, don’t talk, leave me alone, alone
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, me if you know, that you know
I gotta do it in the moment, super focus
Ima hit you right back when the feelings gone (oh, oh)
Don’t talk, don’t talk, don’t talk, leave me alone, alone
Don’t bother calling, busy talking to my walls
Posters applauding all my solo monologues
I’m all alone so often
And I know I’m better off
Better without these problems
But I just can’t seem to stop
You know that’s the place that I go
It’s the only way that I know
Shhh
Don’t talk, don’t talk, don’t talk, leave me alone, alone
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, me if you know, that you know
I gotta do it in the moment, super focus
Ima hit you right back when the feelings gone (oh, oh)
Don’t talk, don’t talk, don’t talk, leave me alone, alone
The lyrics of MASN's song "Don't Talk" delve into the experience of being lost in one's own thoughts and feelings, and the isolation that can come with that. The song speaks to a sense of confusion and being overwhelmed, as the singer describes feeling like they can't straighten out their thoughts and feeling off-balance. Despite recognizing that they need help, the singer feels unheard and alone in their struggle. This is underscored by the refrain of "Don't talk, don't talk, don't talk, leave me alone, alone," which emphasizes the desire for space and silence.
The second verse of the song adds a layer to this desire for isolation, as the singer describes talking to their walls and having conversations with themselves. They recognize that they are better off without their problems, but still struggle to break away from their own headspace. The line "posters applauding all my solo monologues" is particularly poignant, as it speaks to the idea that the singer is performing for an audience even when they are alone, seeking validation and acknowledgement from themselves.
Ultimately, MASN's "Don't Talk" offers a raw and honest portrayal of the challenges that come with navigating one's own thoughts and feelings. The song captures the experience of feeling lost and alone, while also offering a sense of resilience and the hope that comes with being able to focus and work through these challenges on one's own terms.

They didn't notice you were crying
They didn't notice you were sad
They didn't notice you were tired
They didn't notice you were alone
They didn't notice how attractive you were.
They didn't notice how sweet you actually are
They didn't notice how you actually try to make other people smile.
They did notice your failing grades
They did notice your unattractive
They did notice the mean side of you
They did notice all of your mistakes
They did notice all of your flaws
They did notice that you weren't good
Enough for them
