Tall Talks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've had a hell of a week
Tried to drag you out of bed but your outlook is bleak
You're wilting with the trees
The Grass is greener in dreams
So just stay up with me
Life's not that obscene
Your confidence, it flees
If only you could see
Life's not that obscene
Snow on the leaves
Melt with the breeze
Grow something
The skin of evergreens
This week has been a mess, and I haven't been myself
I apologize for all the times, you asked for my help
It's the lack of everything I found, catching dust upon the shelf
The human mind is never satisfied, seeking comfort we will never find
I don't know if I'll change, yet I'm the one to blame
In these lyrics, Tall Talks is discussing a difficult week and reaching out to someone who seems to be struggling emotionally. The singer acknowledges that they have had a challenging time and tried to motivate the other person to get out of bed, but their outlook is bleak and they are feeling down.
The line "You're wilting with the trees" suggests that the person's state of mind is reflecting the changing seasons, just as the trees lose their leaves and appear to wither. The grass being greener in dreams symbolizes the person's desire for a better life, but they lack confidence and struggle to see the possibilities. The singer urges them to stay up and not succumb to despair because life is not as hopeless as it seems.
The image of snow on the leaves melting with the breeze implies a sense of impermanence and the idea of transformation. It suggests that even in difficult times, there is potential for growth and change. The line "Grow something, the skin of evergreens" encourages the listener to cultivate something new and resilient, like evergreen trees that retain their foliage year-round. It hints at the possibility of regaining strength and finding inner balance.
The singer acknowledges that their own personal struggles have affected their ability to be supportive and reliable. They apologize for not being there when the other person asked for help and express remorse for their own shortcomings. The reference to the "lack of everything" catching dust on the shelf implies a sense of stagnation and dissatisfaction. It highlights the human tendency to constantly seek fulfillment and comfort, even if it remains elusive.
The final line, "I don't know if I'll change, yet I'm the one to blame," conveys a sense of self-reflection and personal responsibility. The singer admits uncertainty about their own ability to change and improve, but acknowledges that they are at fault for their actions or lack thereof. It suggests a willingness to learn and grow, and an understanding that personal change is a necessary step towards bettering oneself and relationships.

As a musician who is always paranoid about losing hearing, I suggest these:
1) Clean your earphones at least once a week with pincers and rubbing alcohol. Once you clean them, leave it unused for at least 6 hrs in a secure case
2) SAY NO TO Q TIPS! Instead try going to an ENT specialist twice a year to have excess wax cleaned out.
3) DO NOT moisturize your inner ear canals. It'll just cause infections.
4) Never use earphones for more than 4 hrs a day with a maximum volume threshold of 80%. Constant and close proximal use of earphones will cause you to develop Tinnitus.
Finally, if you're a guitarist or bassist, use ear plugs while playing stacked amps or amps with output greater than 50W.
Hope this helps!

Seeing this short right now after what i experienced is kinda funny because
for years i could hear better from my right ear compared to my left and i thought it was because i never used my left ear to listen as much (like eavesdropping through doors even if i don't do that).
Then quite recently the Left side of my jaw started to hurt and i didn't know why and then later i figured out the pain came from my ear and for the next few weeks i was in extreme pain suffering in silence thinking the pain would go on it own until 5 days ago the jaw pain started to fade and i was happy but my ear was still a mess.
And my ear started producing more wax than normal so I'd clean them every day and then one day i started to bleed and at that moment i said "Oh fuck, no no no no" the only thing i could do was put a tissue then the bleeding stopped, but my ear started swelling from the inside and melted wax would drip out my ear constantly.
And finally last night i reached in my ear an felt something then started pulling it out hoping it wasn't anything serious like a worm or something and i never stick anything in my ear so carelessly so i keep pulling while saying repeatedly "please let it not be a worm" then i pulled it out and i feel an instant relief, like my ear has never been this clear before and when i took a look at what i pulled out i didn't know what the hell it was,
It felt like folded paper and i still don't know what it was but i immediately through that shit away and cleaned my ear one more time,
And today my ear is clear and the swelling is gone. And also i just bought those same airpods being used in the short so new fear unlocked 💀
@Lestyrin
"So how did you die?"
