Don't Talk Love
Navigating Love's Complex Maze: The Knocks' Musical Revelation
Lyrics
Why don't you give me a moment to calm down?
Requesting a moment to calm down before engaging.
'Cause I know you'll always come callin' with somethin' else
Aware that the person often approaches with other matters.
Now, don't go thinkin' I don't know the ropes
Acknowledging familiarity with the situation.
Say what you want, but darlin' our love only we will know
Asserting that the depth of their love is private and known only to them.
(Oh) oh, tell me somethin' now
Asking for information or clarification.
But don't sell me something yet
Resisting being persuaded or convinced to accept something.
Can't talk to me about
Challenging the person's ability to communicate about a certain topic.
So what?
Dismissive attitude towards an issue or statement.
Don't talk to me about love
Explicitly rejecting the idea of discussing love.
So what?
Reinforcing the rejection of discussing love.
You can't talk to me about love
Reiteration of the refusal to engage in a conversation about love.
So what?
(No specific meaning provided in this line.)
Well okay, I'm foolish, I'm stupid, that's so hip
Sarcastic acceptance of being foolish or stupid.
Well you don't say, I'm cool then no bullshit, just go with it, oh
Acceptance of being cool without wanting false pretenses.
Oh, tell me somethin' now
Seeking information or clarification again.
But don't sell me something yet
Refusing to be persuaded into buying or accepting something.
Can't talk to me about
Emphasizing the inability to converse on a certain subject.
Can't talk to me about
Repeating the inability to discuss a certain topic.
Don't talk to me about
Strong refusal to engage in a conversation about love.
So what?
Reiteration of refusal to talk about love.
Don't talk to me about love
Continued rejection of discussing love.
So what?
Asserting the impossibility of discussing love.
You can't talk to me about love
Reiterating the impossibility of discussing love.
So what?
Continued refusal to engage in a conversation about love.
Don't talk to me about love
Rejecting the idea of discussing love.
So what?
Reasserting the impossibility of discussing love.
You can't talk to me about love
Emphasizing the impossibility of discussing love.
Can't talk to me about
Stating the inability to engage in a conversation about love.
Can't talk to me about
Repeating the inability to discuss a certain topic.
Don't talk to me about
Final and firm refusal to talk about love.
