Don't Talk About It
Unspoken Desires: Sorcha Richardson's Poetic Reflections on Love and Fear
Lyrics
Broken glass that never seems to cut the skin
Symbolizes challenges or difficulties that lack the expected impact or consequence.
But seven years of bad luck
Suggests a prolonged period of misfortune or consequences for actions.
Maybe they are kickin in, maybe they are kickin in
Speculates on the delayed effects of the mentioned bad luck.
And you're too scared to tell me how you really feel right now
Expresses fear or hesitation in opening up about true emotions.
We're gonna die of thirst if we're this scared to drown
Metaphorically refers to the avoidance of emotional risks leading to a lack of fulfillment.
Ay, okay, we don't have to talk about it
Suggests a desire to avoid discussing a challenging aspect of the relationship, emphasizing the insignificance of the issue.
It's only love, I guess we'll live without
-Ay, okay, we don't have to talk about it
-It's only love, it's only love
-Ay, okay, we don't have to talk about it
-It's only love, I guess we'll live without
-Ay, okay, we don't have to talk about it
-It's only love,
-I don't know maybe it's already happening
Expresses uncertainty about the current state of the relationship.
I came downstairs saw the flames licking the ceiling
Depicts a scene of potential destruction or change, questioning the whereabouts of the partner.
Just paint the walls white a couple more times
-Tell myself I got nothing to show
-And you're just radio silence my love
-Where did you go
-Ay, okay, we don't have to talk about it
Reiterates the theme of avoiding discussion about love, downplaying its significance.
It's only love, I guess we'll live without
-Ay, okay, we don't have to talk about it
-It's only love, it's only love
-Ay, okay, we don't have to talk about it
-It's only love, I guess we'll live without
-Ay, okay, we don't have to talk about it
-It's only love, it's only love
-I just thought that you and I would dream a little bigger
Expresses disappointment or unmet expectations in the relationship, with a desire for more significant dreams or aspirations.
Don't you ever feel that way too?
