Talk About It
Roan Yellowthorn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can still remember how you felt
I'm still getting over that you're not here
And if you were you'd be someone else
I took it for granted when you were here with me
I didn't think you'd ever let me go
I don't know if you remember what we used to be
When are we gonna talk about it?
When are we gonna come together and clean up
what we left?
Do you wanna talk about it?
Or would you rather forget?
I still wanna talk about it
Ooh
Cause the ghost of us is haunting me
And never lets me rest
I can't believe how long ago it was dear
Somehow there's a vacuum in my mind
Tell me how it felt when we were both here
And how it felt to leave it all behind
I took it for granted then
That I knew your heart
I didn't think you'd ever go away
You're almost a stranger to me since we fell apart
But I've got something that I need to say
When are we gonna talk about it?
When are we gonna come together and clean up
what we left?
Do you wanna talk about it?
Or would you rather forget?
I still wanna talk about it
Cause the ghost of us is haunting me
And never lets me rest
I don't know who you are
Everything seems so far
If you talk talk to me
Maybe that will set me free
When are we gonna talk about it?
When are we gonna come together and clean up
what we left? Do you wanna talk about it?
Or would you rather forget?
I still wanna talk about it
Cause the ghost of us is haunting me
And never lets me rest
The lyrics of Roan Yellowthorn's song "Talk About It" speak about the lingering pain and longing that the singer feels after a significant relationship has ended. The opening lines convey a sense of disbelief over the passage of time and a nostalgic remembrance of how the other person made them feel. However, the realization that the person they once knew is no longer present weighs heavily on the singer's heart.
The singer reflects upon taking their relationship for granted when the other person was still with them, expressing regret for not valuing their presence enough. They long to have a conversation about what happened, to understand if the other person remembers the love they shared and if they would be willing to address the pain and unresolved issues. The repeated question "When are we gonna talk about it?" reflects their desperate desire for closure and to reconcile the past.
The mention of the "ghost of us" haunting the singer symbolizes the lingering memories and emotions that continue to torment them. The singer feels trapped, unable to find peace or move on from the relationship until they have a cathartic conversation with the other person, hoping for honesty and resolution.
Overall, "Talk About It" explores the theme of longing for closure and communication in the aftermath of a ended relationship. It delves into feelings of regret, nostalgia, and the desire for understanding and healing.

I can't believe how long ago it was dear
I'm amazed at how much time has passed since we were together
I can still remember how you felt
I can still vividly recall the way you made me feel
I'm still getting over that you're not here
I'm still trying to cope with the fact that you're no longer with me
And if you were you'd be someone else
Even if you were here, you wouldn't be the same person I knew
I took it for granted when you were here with me
I didn't appreciate our connection when we were together
I didn't think you'd ever let me go
I never expected you to leave me
I don't know if you remember what we used to be
I'm uncertain if you still remember our past relationship
But I've got something that I need to know
However, there's something important I need to ask you
When are we gonna talk about it?
When will we have a conversation about our situation?
When are we gonna come together and clean up what we left?
When will we reconcile and address the unresolved issues from our past?
Do you wanna talk about it?
Are you interested in discussing our past and its impact on us?
Or would you rather forget?
Would you prefer to let go of our history and move on?
I still wanna talk about it
I still have a strong desire to discuss our past
Cause the ghost of us is haunting me
Because the memories of our relationship continue to affect me
And never lets me rest
And prevents me from finding peace
Somehow there's a vacuum in my mind
Somehow, my mind feels empty and lacking in memories
Tell me how it felt when we were both here
Please describe how it felt when we were together
And how it felt to leave it all behind
And how it felt to abandon everything we had
That I knew your heart
That I understood your true feelings
You're almost a stranger to me since we fell apart
Since our separation, you've become unfamiliar to me
But I've got something that I need to say
However, there's something important I need to express to you
I don't know who you are
I'm uncertain of your current identity and personality
Everything seems so far
Everything feels distant and disconnected
If you talk talk to me
If you communicate and share your thoughts with me
Maybe that will set me free
Perhaps it will release me from the emotional burden I carry
