Talk
Reptile Room Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We open up from the seam
And how do we live without blood in the veins?
We went cold from the lack of heat, and fame
We don't talk about it anymore
We don't love the way we did before
We don't talk about it anymore
We don't love the way we did before
Easy go
Got a lot to live for, but
I'm alive, you should know
Something changed, but you look the same
Walls came up
We survived
It's the fall of the ocean, yeah
When she lied upon the gold
Believing there was something to hold
I'm alive
You should know
We don't talk about it anymore
We don't love the way we did before
We don't talk about it anymore
We don't love the way we did before
We don't talk
We don't talk about it anymore
We don't love the way we did before
We don't talk about it anymore
We don't love the way we did before
We don't talk about it anymore
We don't love the way we did before
The lyrics of Reptile Room's song "Talk" explore the deterioration of a relationship and the subsequent loss of communication and love between two people. The song begins with the singer waking up from a dream, symbolizing a break from their previous reality. They acknowledge the emotional numbness that has taken over, describing how they have become detached from their own emotions, represented by the lack of blood in their veins and the coldness of their relationship.
The chorus repeats the line "We don't talk about it anymore, we don't love the way we did before," emphasizing the breakdown in communication and the loss of the deep connection they once shared. The line "Easy come, easy go, got a lot to live for, but I'm alive, you should know" suggests a sense of resignation and acceptance of the situation, despite the emotional pain. There is a realization that something has changed, but outwardly the partner still appears the same.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of walls being erected, indicating a sense of protection or defense mechanism within the relationship. The singer implies that they have survived this obstacle, depicting it as the fall of an ocean. This imagery suggests that the issue was significant and overwhelming, but they managed to overcome it.
Overall, "Talk" reflects the aftermath of a relationship that has lost its spark, where the couple has grown distant and no longer openly communicates or expresses love as they did before. It portrays the struggle to maintain a connection when emotions have waned, and the acceptance that the relationship has changed.
