Lyrics
When you turn the key, I go and take my place
When the key is turned, I assume my position.
I swallow words I don't want to waste
I refrain from expressing unnecessary words.
You can only say, say the same thing so many times 'til they lose their meaning
Repetition diminishes the impact of words over time.
I shout down the hall but nothing comes back
Calling out, but receiving no response down the hall.
I get the feeling that I'm talking to myself
Feeling as if I'm speaking to myself.
I get the feeling that there's nobody else
Sensing a lack of presence of others.
This is a one-way conversation
Communication is one-sided.
We're gonna break without communication
Warning of potential breakdown without two-way communication.
I get the feeling that I'm talking to myself
Reiteration of the feeling of self-talk.
I get the feeling that I'm talking, talking to myself
Emphasizing the solitary nature of the conversation.
Playing broken games of telephone
Engaging in futile communication resembling broken telephone games.
The message missed for so long
Messages consistently misunderstood over an extended period.
What are you holding, holding onto?
Questioning what someone is desperately holding onto.
What are you worried that I'll learn about you?
Expressing concerns about potential revelations.
I shout down the hall but nothing comes back
Repeating the experience of shouting with no response.
I get the feeling that I'm talking to myself
Reiteration of the feeling of self-talk.
I get the feeling that there's nobody else
Reinforcing the sense of isolation.
This is a one-way conversation
Highlighting the unilateral nature of the conversation.
We're gonna break without communication
Warning about the potential deterioration without effective communication.
I get the feeling that I'm talking to myself
Reiteration of the feeling of self-talk.
I get the feeling that I'm talking, talking to myself
Emphasizing the solitary nature of the conversation.
Talking to myself
Repeating the theme of talking to oneself.
I get the feeling that I'm talking to myself
Reiteration of the feeling of self-talk.
I get the feeling that there's nobody else
Emphasizing the absence of others.
This is a one-way conversation
Highlighting the one-sided nature of the conversation.
We're gonna break without communication
Warning of potential breakdown without two-way communication.
I get the feeling that I'm talking to myself
Reiteration of the feeling of self-talk.
I get the feeling that I'm talking to myself
Emphasizing the solitary nature of the conversation.
I get the feeling that I'm talking to myself
Repeating the theme of talking to oneself.
I get the feeling that I'm talking
Reiterating the persistent feeling of self-talk.
