All You Do Is Talk
Silent Echoes: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's 'All You Do Is Talk'
Lyrics
Help yourself, don't say a thing
Encouraging someone to take action without speaking
Your love won't show
Love isn't expressed or evident
In anything at all
Love doesn't manifest in any aspect
If all you do is talk
If all you do is talk, love isn't shown
Sadly, I remain in need
Expressing continued need despite words spoken
Of all the things you say
Desiring the things said but they vanish when spoken
But leave in speak
Words are empty or ineffective when spoken
All you do is talk
Reiterating that only talking occurs without action
Help yourself, don't think
Again urging action without thinking
Help yourself, don't speak
Advising against speaking without action
Help yourself, don't say a thing at all
Emphasizing action over speech for impact
You're lucky words don't bleed
Words spoken don't have a harmful effect
You time the end of all we see
Suggesting controlling the conclusion of what's visible
You say we're on our way
Stating a direction and assurance of progress
And all will be
Everything will be as promised
Alone in everything
Feeling isolated in every aspect
You say it's all we'll ever need
Asserting a belief in the sufficiency of something
You've found an easy way
Claiming an effortless solution has been found
But still you weep
Despite the solution, there's still emotional pain
Alone in everything
Continued sense of isolation in everything
Help yourself, don't think
Repeating the encouragement to act without thinking
Help yourself, don't speak
Advising against speaking without substance
Help yourself, don't say a thing at all
Emphasizing the importance of action over speech
You're lucky words don't bleed
Words spoken don't have a harmful effect
Help yourself, don't say a thing
Encouraging action without verbal expression
What love you show
The love displayed verbally holds no value
Won't mean a thing at all
Verbal love won't matter without action
If all you do is talk
If speech is the only action, love isn't demonstrated
Sadly, we remain to see
Stating the observation of continued existence
What brings an end
What leads to conclusion is necessary
Is also what we need
The end is essential for progress or resolution
All you do is talk
Reiterating that only talking occurs without meaningful action
Help yourself, don't think
Emphasizing the need for action over thought
Help yourself, don't speak
Advising against speaking without action
Help yourself, don't say a thing at all
Highlighting the importance of action over speech
You're lucky words don't bleed
Words spoken don't have a harmful effect
