Talk to Me
Midnight Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've been hanging around
Wearing shades when the sun don't shine
You're nothing but a kid, all burned out
Cursing and screaming under a cloud
Wearing shades when the sun don't shine
When you go out tonight
Will you then talk to me?
Like an old man, sitting with the cane
Longing for love, alone in the rain
Wearing shades when the sun don't shine
You're nothing but a kid, all burned out
Cursing and screaming under a cloud
Wearing shades when the sun don't shine
Will you then talk to me?
You're going down like a clown
You've been hanging around
Wearing shades when the sun don't shine
The Midnight Choir’s “Talk to Me” is a song that speaks to a person who is lost and desperately looking for someone to confide in. The lyrics depict someone who is going through a difficult phase in their life; they’re “going down like a clown” and they’ve been “hanging around” aimlessly. The singer wears “shades when the sun don’t shine” – a metaphor for hiding their emotions and pretending to be fine. The song describes this person as “nothing but a kid, all burned out” who is “cursing and screaming under a cloud”. The repeated line “will you then talk to me?” is an appeal for someone to reach out and offer help.
