Talking in the Dark
Conversations in Shadows: Linda Ronstadt's Yearning Lyrics Explored
Lyrics
I tried again to drive myself insane
I attempted once more to push myself to a state of madness.
I talk to myself but I don't listen
I engage in self-talk, but I don't pay attention to my own thoughts.
I found out what I was missing
I discovered what was lacking or absent in my life.
I miss talking in the dark
I long for the intimate conversations that occur in the darkness.
Without you I'm not conversation
Without you, I lack engaging dialogue.
Oh without the sense of the occasion
Without the proper circumstances or setting.
Oh without you
Oh, without you.
I miss talking in the dark
I yearn for the deep, meaningful talks in the absence of light.
When the barking and the biting are through
When conflicts and disagreements have subsided.
We can talk like we're in love
We can converse as if we are in love.
Or we can talk above it
Alternatively, we can discuss matters beyond the concept of love.
We can talk and talk
We have the ability to engage in prolonged conversation.
Until we talk ourselves out of it
Until we talk ourselves out of the situation.
I look for the new somebody to abuse
I seek a new person to mistreat or harm emotionally.
I look at myself but it's so chancy
I scrutinize myself, but it's a risky endeavor.
I see things that I don't fancy
I observe things that I find undesirable.
I miss talking in the dark
I yearn for the intimate conversations that occur in the darkness (repeated).
Without you I'm not conversation
Without you, I lack engaging dialogue (repeated).
Oh without the sense of the occasion
Without the proper circumstances or setting (repeated).
Oh without you
Oh, without you (repeated).
I miss talking in the dark
I yearn for the deep, meaningful talks in the absence of light (repeated).
