Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bring up the pain, I'll be gone for a season
Put it up on the shelf, so I don't weaken
Just talk my talk, leave the past in the back, that's where I keep it)
Been through a lot, I won't say for a reason
Bring up the pain, I'll be gone for a season
Put it up on the shelf, so I don't weaken
Just talk my talk, leave the past in the back, that's where I keep it
Done met people I thought was cool, but it was only from the jump
I be carrying this pride on my back (a gift and a curse)
It hide the pain and pick up all this slack (but what is it worth?)
I get lost in this sea of scenes and movements a lot
Trying to keep up to they movements, I be losing a lot
They trying to peep what I be doing, so I got to hold myself up
Seem like the world be comin' with it with all this weight I'm putting on
Looks are deceiving, let me tell you I ain't innocent like you see me
Believe me
In a sense I be with Stevie
'Cause I ain't blind to understand what y'all seeing, even
When I was little I was grieving
Been through a lot, I won't say for a reason
Bring up the pain, I'll be gone for a season
Put it up on the shelf, so I don't weaken
Just talk my talk, leave the past in the back, that's where I keep it
Been through a lot, I won't say for a reason
Bring up the pain, I'll be gone for a season
Put it up on the shelf, so I don't weaken
Just talk my talk, leave the past in the back, that's where I keep it
(Just talk my talk, leave the past in the back, that's where I keep it)
Yeah
I ain't even realize what it was until recently
More that I find out, it's like I'm takin out a piece of me
So I got to keep all these feelings
From up and leaving me
Even though they lurking in my head, I can believe in me
Been through a lot, I won't say for a reason
Bring up the pain, I'll be gone for a season
Put it up on the shelf, so I don't weaken
Just talk my talk, leave the past in the back, that's where I keep it
Been through a lot, I won't say for a reason
Bring up the pain, I'll be gone for a season
Put it up on the shelf, so I don't weaken
Just talk my talk, leave the past in the back, that's where I keep it
I'm a youngin', that I know, but it be tough coming up
Done met people I thought was cool, but it was only from the jump
I be carrying this pride on my back (a gift and a curse)
It hide the pain and pick up all this slack (but what is it worth?)
Yeah
Oh, no, no, no
(Yeah, yeah)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, mm)
In the lyrics of Point.G's song "Talk," the artist reflects on their personal journey and experiences. The repeated lines "Been through a lot, I won't say for a reason, Bring up the pain, I'll be gone for a season" convey a sense of resilience and determination in the face of hardships. The singer acknowledges the difficulties they have faced without delving into specific details, indicating a desire to move forward rather than dwell on past trauma. By metaphorically putting their pain on a shelf to avoid weakening, the artist emphasizes a need to protect themselves emotionally.
The lyrics also touch on themes of maturity and self-discovery, as the artist navigates relationships and confronts their own pride and vulnerability. The artist describes interactions with others who may have initially seemed trustworthy but ultimately revealed their true intentions. This sense of disillusionment contributes to the artist's guarded nature, as they carry both pride and pain as a burden on their journey. The internal conflict between hiding their pain behind a facade and questioning the value of this coping mechanism creates a complex emotional landscape within the song.
The artist reflects on the pressures of keeping up with societal expectations and the constant scrutiny they face from others. There is a struggle to maintain authenticity and integrity in a world that often demands conformity and perfection. The weight of these external pressures is palpable, as the artist grapples with the challenges of staying true to themselves while navigating a world that is quick to judge and misinterpret.
Ultimately, the lyrics suggest a sense of introspection and acceptance of the artist's past experiences. By leaving the past in the back and focusing on speaking their truth, the artist asserts their agency and determination to move forward despite the trials they have faced. The repeated refrain of "Just talk my talk, leave the past in the back, that's where I keep it" carries a sense of empowerment and a commitment to personal growth and self-preservation. Through their poignant reflections on resilience, vulnerability, and self-discovery, Point.G's lyrics resonate with listeners who may also be navigating their own journeys of healing and self-acceptance.
