The Lovers
The Talking Bugs Lyrics

In The Talking Bugs' song "The Lovers", the lyrics paint a picture of someone who is content with being alone despite having friends and a lover. The lyrics suggest that this person is happy in their own company and doesn't feel a need to share their experiences with others. The phrase "Everytime you go you go alone" is repeated twice in the song and emphasizes this idea. However, the lyrics also suggest a willingness to help both friends and lovers when needed. The line "Sometimes I pray sometimes I'll help" suggests that this person is available to those they care about even though they don't need them for their own happiness.

The second verse of the song introduces the idea of mortality, with the phrase "There's a time to see the widow". Even in the face of death, the lyrics suggest that this person is still happy and content being alone. The phrase "the sound of you is everywhere" could be interpreted as a memory of the person who has passed away and their presence being felt everywhere. The chorus is repeated twice in the song, with the lines "For the lover, friends and times, hope a yellow sun" suggesting a hope for happiness in all aspects of life.
