Talking Out Loud
Whispers of Choices: Decoding the Meaning Behind Jonah Ausbun's 'Talking Out Loud'
Lyrics
I'm afraid of bad luck
I have a fear of encountering bad luck.
You're afraid of flashing lights
You are afraid of being in the spotlight or facing attention, especially from the media.
I'm waiting on an empty car
I am waiting for a train or similar transportation with no one else around.
While you think the taxi aesthetic is nice
While you appreciate the aesthetic of taxis, I'm waiting for a less glamorous mode of transportation.
Talking out loud, figuring out
Engaging in introspective thoughts, contemplating and verbalizing my decisions.
All of my choices
Reflecting on and evaluating all the decisions I've made.
When you get me alone
When we are together in private, I tend to express my thoughts verbally.
Talking out loud, figuring out
Continuing to speak openly and assess my choices.
Memorizing sins when you cannot let 'em go
Committing to memory the mistakes and regrets that you cannot let go of.
With neon inspired attire, my head hurts
Wearing clothing inspired by neon lights, but it causes me discomfort or headache.
It's been worse
Despite the discomfort, it's not the worst I've experienced.
I wish I wish I was sober
Expressing a desire to be sober, possibly metaphorically or literally.
From your movies scenes that
Referencing scenes from movies, possibly involving you, that play in my mind.
Play out in my head, or better yet
Suggesting that imagining scenarios with you is preferable to reality.
You're like a playlist
Comparing you to a playlist, but struggling to grasp the metaphor clearly.
But I cannot get the metaphor straight, I cannot seem to think straight
Difficulty in thinking clearly or making sense of the metaphor.
Talking out loud, figuring out
Continuing to speak openly and assess my choices.
All of my choices
Reflecting on and evaluating all the decisions I've made.
When you get me alone
When we are together in private, I tend to express my thoughts verbally.
Talking out loud, figuring out
Continuing to speak openly and assess my choices.
Memorizing sins when you cannot let 'em go
Committing to memory the mistakes and regrets that you cannot let go of.
And maybe you could settle out
Suggesting the possibility of finding resolution or compromise.
I could put a name to that face again
Expressing the hope of recognizing and reconnecting with you.
Maybe, baby, I won't sell out
Contemplating not compromising one's principles or artistic integrity.
Just think twice before you tell me a thing
Advising caution before sharing personal information or feelings.
Get smoother, get softer
Suggesting improvement and softening in communication using careful words.
With the double edged words that you drink
Referring to the potential impact of words, which can be both positive and negative.
I'm trying to sound better
Expressing a desire to sound better, even if it involves some degree of artificiality.
It's kinda fake, but it's good to make you think
Admitting that the improvement might be somewhat insincere but is intended to provoke thought.
Talking out loud, figuring out
Continuing to speak openly and assess my choices.
All of my choices
Reflecting on and evaluating all the decisions I've made.
When you get me alone
When we are together in private, I tend to express my thoughts verbally.
Talking out loud, figuring out
Continuing to speak openly and assess my choices.
Memorizing sins when you cannot let 'em go
Committing to memory the mistakes and regrets that you cannot let go of.
But it's good to make you think
Emphasizing the value of introspection and thought-provoking conversation.
But it's good to make you think
Reiterating the positive aspect of stimulating critical thinking through dialogue.
But it's good to make you think
Repeating the idea that engaging in thoughtful conversation is beneficial.
But it's good to make you think
Reiterating the positive aspect of stimulating critical thinking through dialogue.
