Talk
Navigating the Maze of Growing Up: Morning Midnight's 'Talk' Reflections
Lyrics
Memories started piling up
Reflecting on accumulated memories.
Like moments in a photo frame
Comparing memories to captured moments.
If all you want is holding on
Considering the value of holding onto something.
Then maybe we should take the blame
Suggesting shared responsibility for a situation.
Cause I don’t like the way you talk
Expressing discomfort with the way someone communicates.
When you talk about the end of me
Disliking the conversation about the end of a relationship.
Like growing up is hard enough
Highlighting the challenges of growing up.
When you’re still a kid at 17
Emphasizing the contradiction of being a kid at 17.
But I don’t want to stay the same
Desiring personal growth and change.
Like chasing shadows in my sleep
Metaphorically pursuing elusive goals in dreams.
I’m never gonna have the guts to call you up
Expressing hesitancy to confess true feelings.
And tell you what it means to me
Acknowledging difficulty in expressing emotions.
‘Cause learning how to walk away
Recognizing the challenge of ending a relationship.
Is harder than I thought it’d be
Acknowledging the difficulty of walking away.
Remember how we used to say
Recalling past optimistic statements about the future.
One day you’ll be something
Believing in the potential for future success.
But we don’t talk about it any more
Not discussing future aspirations anymore.
No we don’t talk about it any more
Reiterating the lack of communication about aspirations.
We never talk about it any more
Continuing the theme of avoidance in discussions.
Getting old is wearing thin
Expressing weariness with the aging process.
A pill we never used to take
Referring to aging as an unwanted experience.
And even when you cough it up
Highlighting discomfort and negative memories.
Reminds me how I used to hate
Recalling a past dislike for happiness.
That happiness is working out
Acknowledging the effort required for happiness.
That you’re never far from misery
Acknowledging the proximity of misery to happiness.
But knowing you’ll be fine without
Believing in the possibility of freedom from pain.
All the pain that never set you free
Recognizing the liberation from unproductive suffering.
But I don’t want to stay the same
Reiterating the desire for personal growth and change.
Like chasing shadows in my sleep
Continuing the theme of pursuing elusive goals.
I’m never gonna have the guts to call you up
Repeating hesitation in expressing true feelings.
And tell you what it means to me
Reiterating difficulty in expressing emotions.
‘Cause learning how to walk away
Acknowledging the challenge of ending a relationship.
Is harder than I thought it’d be
Recognizing the difficulty of walking away.
Remember how we used to say
Recalling past optimistic statements about the future.
One day you’ll be something
Believing in the potential for future success.
But we don’t talk about it any more
Not discussing future aspirations anymore.
No we don’t talk about it any more
Reiterating the lack of communication about aspirations.
We never talk about it any more
Continuing the theme of avoidance in discussions.
No we don’t talk about it any more
Reiterating the avoidance of discussing aspirations.
But we don’t talk about it any more
Not discussing future aspirations anymore.
No we don’t talk about it any more
Reiterating the lack of communication about aspirations.
We never talk about it any more
Continuing the theme of avoidance in discussions.
