Talk Nice
No Rome Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pour me a glass of wine
Tell me to take my time
Caught in the moment
I know, I know, I know
What's on your mind?

Lately I feel the same
Life has a price to pay
Can we afford it
I know, I know, I know
What's been on mine?

Late night
Talk nice
About what we have and don't
Made it
Sunrise
You're crying on the phone
Lately I feel the same
Life has a price to pay

But it'll cost ya, it'll cost ya, it'll cost ya

Money over everything, over everything
She's been thinking 'bout the same things, 'bout the same things
Money isn't everything, isn't everything
But you've been thinking 'bout the same things, 'bout the same things

(Hey)
(Uh)
(Uh)

Where do we go from here?
Go where the air is clear
We got each other
Tell me simple things are ever enough

Late night
Talk nice
About what we have and don't
Made it
Sunrise
Still crying on the phone
Living the dream
We cut our teeth
Thought I told you baby

This will cost ya, this will cost ya, this will cost ya

Money over everything, over everything
She's been thinking 'bout the same things, 'bout the same things
Money isn't everything, isn't everything
But you've been thinking 'bout the same things, 'bout the same things

(Hey)




(Uh)
(Uh)

The repeated line "What's on your mind?" highlights the theme of communication and the importance of honest and open dialogue.


The chorus of the song talks about the cost of living and how everything has a price. The lines "Money over everything, over everything, She's been thinking 'bout the same things, 'bout the same things, Money isn't everything, isn't everything, But you've been thinking 'bout the same things, 'bout the same things" emphasize the exhausting cycle of thinking about finances and the anxiety that comes along with it.

He got the voice, the rhythm, the talent, the only thing that he doesn't get is the attention that he deserves:(

mrdinger

Tbh he's still very nervous live and some of that bleeds into his music a little. He's one of those guys who has a lot of potential but with the right amount of time he'll definitely grow into a more confident artist

Gavin Ll

his country did not suport him and appreciate his work now we sad but if that didnt happen he wouldnt have met matty

Cleppy

i listen all of his music sjjsjsjdjeekeksekek

walsh

Ganang Prakoso

I love how the song is so sad but has such a happy tune. It kind of feels like how depression works, no matter how joyous the situation might be, you always feel empty.
