Talk
YOKKO Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give me time
I need more with every breath I take
Please hold on a second
You say it's fine as long as your heart is still the one
So I hold on, I hold on
Don't you get this serious
I just need more time
Talk to me
It is better it is better
As long as you don't talk to me
Is it better is it better as long as you don't
Talk
As long as you don't talk

Give me space
I need more to free what is caged
Please hold on a second
You feel the change
A dark horse with good peace will cross the cage for some seconds together
Don't you get this serious
I just need more space

Talk to me
It is better it is better
As long as you don't talk to me
Is it better is it better
Talk to me
It is better it is better
As long as you don't talk to me
Is it better is it better as long as you don't talk

A single line
Own apart
Leads to you till it's steady and calm
I'm in need
But don't let for me
What if we fall down
What if we lose ground
What if the countdown runs out before the end

Talk to me
It is better it is better
As long as you don't talk to me
Is it better is it better
Talk to me
It is better it is better




As long as you don't talk to me
Is it better is it better as long as you don't talk

The lyrics suggest a fear of vulnerability and the possibility of what might happen if they express their true feelings. The last line of the song "Is it better as long as you don't talk?" leaves the listener wondering if avoiding communication is really better for the relationship or if it's just prolonging the inevitable.


Overall, the lyrics of "Talk" convey a sense of uncertainty and caution in relationships. It highlights the fear of expressing emotions and the need for both time and space to sort things out internally.
