Talk back

Talk back
Same track
Speech dancer
Words and voice we give and take
It′s our choice to cut the cake
Confirmation is the goal
Words show face - voice is our soul
Voice is our soul
Voice is our soul
Voice is our soul
A thoughtless word, how it hurts
A tender letter is even better
Words uplift, can defeat
Voices flatter - that's a different matter
That′s a different matter
Different matter
That's a different matter
Talk back
Same track

Forming fast, changing slow
Meanings last, some come and go
Asking questions, giving answer
Juggling words with a 'speech dancer′
With a ′speech dancer'
With a ′speech dancer'
Talk back

The song Speech Dancer by Yamo is a thought-provoking piece that emphasizes the power of words and the significance of communication. The repetitive phrase "talk back, same track" can be interpreted in various ways, but one possible way is that it represents the cycle of conversation and how we often find ourselves following the same patterns of communication, without really listening or engaging with each other. The phrase "speech dancer" refers to the art of using words and voice to convey our thoughts and feelings, and to connect with others.
The first verse of the song highlights the importance of choice in our communication. We have the power to choose our words, and in doing so, we are either building or breaking relationships. The line "words show face - voice is our soul" suggests that our words and our voice reveal who we are on a deeper level, and that they have a lasting impact on those around us. The second verse contrasts the effect of different types of words, from thoughtless and hurtful to tender and uplifting. The line "voices flatter - that's a different matter" suggests that some people use their words to manipulate or deceive, which is a cautionary note to be mindful of the intentions behind the words we hear.
The final verse of the song is about the process of communication itself. It acknowledges that meanings are not fixed and that the act of asking and answering questions can lead to deeper understanding. The line "juggling words with a 'speech dancer'" suggests that good communication is like a dance, where we are constantly adapting and responding to each other's movements. Overall, Speech Dancer is a reminder of the importance of being intentional and thoughtful in our communication, and of the power of words to shape our relationships and our world.
