Talk to me
Nicks Stevie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can see your expression when the phone rings
We both know there's something happening here
Well,there's no sense in dancing round the subject
A wound gets worse when it's treated with neglect
Don't turn around ,there's nothing here to fear
[Chorus]
Talk to me
You can talk to me
You can set your secrets free,baby
Dusty words lying under carpets
Seldom heard well must you keep your secrets
Locked inside hidden safe from view
Well,is it all that hard
Is it all that tough
Well,I've shown you all my cards now isn't that enough
You can hide your hurt
But,there's something you can do
You can talk to me
Talk to me, talk to me
I can set your secrets free,baby
La, la, la, la
Though we lay face to face and cheek to cheek
Our voices stray from the common ground where they could meet
The walls run high, to veil a swelling tear
Oh,let the walls burn down,set your secrets free
You can break their bounds, cause you're safe with me
You can lose your doubt,cause you'll find no danger not here
[Chorus]
Oh,I can see you running, I can see you running
I can see you running all the way back home
I can see your expression when the phone rings
And I can see your thinkin' bout the same things
Is it all that hard
Is it all that tough
Well, you've taken all there is now baby
Isn't that enough
Well, I can see you runnin', i can see you runnin'
All the way back
The lyrics to Stevie Nicks' song "Talk to Me" are about two people who share a connection but are holding back from opening up to each other. From the opening lines, it's clear that they have a lot on their minds, but they're hesitant to share it with each other. They both know that something is happening between them, but they're dancing around the subject, and nothing is being resolved. Stevie Nicks sings that there's no sense in ignoring their issues, as neglect will only make their wounds worse. She urges the other person not to turn around, as there's nothing to fear, and they can talk to her.
In the chorus, Stevie Nicks repeats the message that the other person should talk to her, and that she can set their secrets free. The lyrics suggest that the other person has been keeping secrets locked inside, hidden from view. Stevie Nicks encourages them to let go of their fears and doubts, telling them they're safe with her. In the final verses, she sings of the barriers that are preventing them from connecting, including distance and emotional walls. However, she assures the other person that they can break free from these barriers and find safety and acceptance with her.

I can see we're thinkin' bout the same things
We are on the same wavelength
And I can see your expression when the phone rings
I can read your emotions when you receive a call
We both know there's something happening here
We sense that there’s an important matter at hand
Well,there's no sense in dancing round the subject
It’s best to be direct and not beat around the bush
A wound gets worse when it's treated with neglect
Ignoring a problem will only make it worse
Don't turn around ,there's nothing here to fear
There’s nothing threatening in the current situation
You can talk to me
I’m here for you to confide in
Talk to me
Express your thoughts and feelings
You can set your secrets free,baby
You can open up without fear of judgment
Dusty words lying under carpets
Unspoken words hidden and ignored
Seldom heard well must you keep your secrets
Keeping your secrets to yourself will only hurt you
Locked inside hidden safe from view
Keeping secrets buried within yourself out of fear
Well,is it all that hard
Is it really that difficult?
Is it all that tough
Is it really that challenging?
Well,I've shown you all my cards now isn't that enough
I’ve been honest and transparent, now it’s your turn
You can hide your hurt
You can keep your pain to yourself
But,there's something you can do
You don’t have to suffer alone
Though we lay face to face and cheek to cheek
We are physically close but emotionally distant
Our voices stray from the common ground where they could meet
We’re not on the same page despite being in close proximity
The walls run high, to veil a swelling tear
Emotional barriers prevent us from truly connecting
Oh,let the walls burn down,set your secrets free
Let go of your fears and break down your emotional walls
You can break their bounds, cause you're safe with me
You can trust me to keep your secrets safe
You can lose your doubt,cause you'll find no danger not here
You don’t have to fear judgment or ridicule with me
Oh,I can see you running, I can see you running
I can see you trying to escape from your problems
All the way back home
Trying to retreat to a place of comfort and safety
Well, you've taken all there is now baby
I’ve given you all of myself, now it’s your turn
Isn't that enough
Isn’t my love and support enough for you?

Stevie Nicks is eternal. Whether it’s with Fleetwood Mac, or solo, she brought it.
@ximresal
My mom loved this song, today she passed away because of the current situation, I can’t believe she is gone and I can’t accept it yet I know she won’t come back to hug me or my brother or my father, I hope this video remains more years so each nine of June I come back here and remember her more than ever
