HEY!
Manda and the Marbles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You talk talk talk i'm dealin' with it
A person can only take so much
Before they crash and they burn from losing touch
Well i lose my control when things are
Overwhelming and confusing
Everybody talks talks talks
It's all too much
And you like to me
Hey! whoa!
Well i can't think too much about it
Or my mind starts to spin around it
A person can only laugh so much
Whenthe deception is thick yet filled with love
Now i lose my control when things are overwhelming and misleading
Everybody wants wants wants
And then they take and they steal
Its all too much and you cry to me
The lyrics to Manda and the Marbles's song Hey! is about the singer feeling overwhelmed and frustrated with a person who talks a lot and doesn't seem to listen. The singer feels like they have reached their limit and they can't take it anymore before they start to lose touch and crash and burn. The constant talking and emotional outbursts from the other person are confusing and overwhelming, and the singer loses control under this kind of pressure. They can't handle any more of it, and they feel like they're being lied to.
The singer tries not to think too much about it, but it's hard not to when everything seems to be spinning out of control. They can only laugh so much when they're being deceived, and it becomes an unbearable situation when everyone just wants something from them without giving anything back. They feel like everything is being taken away from them, and they're left with nothing. The song conveys a sense of frustration and despair, yet it's also empowering in its message of not allowing others to manipulate or take advantage of you.
