Talk
The Roadside Crows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To get a little outta you
And just when I think we’re all good
(Oh)
Can I get some help
Make this make sense
'Cause right now all you’re giving me is silence
When I want to know
When everything I say is wrong
'Cause I didn't mean
To end the conversation
And I didn't mean
To tear you down
Well it took so much outta me
I thought I finally got it outta you
When I thought it was over and done
(Oh)
Now we're back again
Feels just like déjà vu
When I'm doing my best
But I get nothing outta you and
I want to know
What's happening
When you go quiet, girl
It does my head in
'Cause I didn't mean
To end the conversation
And I didn't mean
To tear you down
We both know that you mean
Everything to me
We both know it's not okay
Girl don't let me down
'Cause I really need you to come around
I didn't mean
To end the conversation, baby
And I didn't mean (To tear you down)
To tear you down
We both know that you mean (everything) everything to me
We both know that there's
Something you want to say
So
Come on baby, can we talk?
The lyrics of "Talk" by The Roadside Crows reflect the complexities and struggles of communication within a relationship. The singer expresses their feelings of frustration and exhaustion, as it seems they have to put in a lot of effort to receive minimal responses or understanding from their partner. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for connection and a desire to make sense of the emotional distance between them.
The repeated plea for help in making sense of the situation underscores the confusion and exasperation the singer feels when faced with silence and lack of communication. There is a sense of yearning to understand what is going on and a frustration with the inability to effectively communicate or reach a resolution. The singer's attempts to bridge the gap and initiate a conversation are met with resistance, leading to feelings of being misunderstood and unappreciated.

The repeated lines about not intending to end the conversation or tear down their partner indicate a desire for reconciliation and understanding.
The final plea for open communication and a willingness to listen and engage with each other underscores the importance of honest and transparent dialogue in resolving conflicts and strengthening the bond between the two individuals. The singer expresses a deep emotional connection and dependency on their partner, emphasizing the importance of mutual understanding and support in overcoming obstacles and maintaining a healthy relationship. The song ends with a hopeful invitation to engage in a conversation, suggesting a desire to work through their differences and rebuild their connection.

They do talk. I lived in a tent for 2 years and often heard a single crow making astonishing talking noises all by itself. It is nothing like the caws you hear usually. All animals have a language of their own and I believe the wild crow has taken it's speech to another level that we have not yet deciphered.

@Darian Darkkchild ahh maybe. I didnt get to see it. Not sure I've ever seen a raven here in R.I. but maybe I just can't visually identify them that great. We mostly have just crows here.
