Talk Talk
Unveiling the Turmoil: Alice Cooper's Reflection on Social Stigma
Lyrics
I got me a complication
I am facing a complex situation
And it's an only child
This situation is unique or singular
Concern my reputation
Concerns about my reputation
As something more than wild
My reputation is not just wild, but something more
I know it serves me right
I acknowledge that consequences are justified
But I can't sleep at night
I cannot find peace and rest at night
I have to hide my face
I feel the need to hide my face
Or go some other place
Or go to a different location
No!
An emphatic rejection or refusal
I won't cry out for justice
I won't plead for fairness
Admit that I was wrong
I won't admit my wrongdoing
Stay in hibernation
I will stay away from attention or public life
'Til the talk subsides and gone
Until the gossip and discussion fade away
My social life's a dud
My social life is uninteresting and unsuccessful
My name is really mud
My name is in disrepute
I'm up to here in lies
I am surrounded by deceit and falsehoods
I guess I'm down to size
I have been reduced to a smaller state or status
To size
Emphasizing the reduced state
I can't seem to talk about
I find it difficult to discuss
The things that bother me
Issues that are troubling me
Seems to be what everybody has
It seems like everyone has something against me
Against me! (ooh! ooh! ooh! yeah!)
Expressing frustration or surprise
Now here's my situation
Presenting the current state of affairs
And how it really stands
Describing the true situation
I'm out of circulation
I am isolated or excluded from activities
I've all but washed my hands
I have distanced myself from the matter
My social life's a dud
Repetition of the uninteresting social life
My name is really mud
Reiteration of a tarnished name
I'm up to here in lies
Reiteration of being surrounded by lies
I guess I'm down to size
Reiterating the reduced state
To size
Emphasizing the reduced state again
Talk, talk
Repetition of the word 'Talk'
Talk, talk
-Talk, talk
-Talk, talk
