Talk About
Unveiling Changed Portraits
Lyrics
Thought that I could draw you
Expressing the belief that the speaker could depict or understand you.
With my eyes closed
Attempting to portray you without seeing, suggesting a level of familiarity or confidence.
Until I saw you
Realization upon seeing you, indicating a potential change or surprise.
Beside the road
Noticing you metaphorically "beside the road," possibly hinting at a life journey or struggle.
I could barely recognize
Struggling to recognize the transformed person you've become.
The person you'd become
Acknowledging significant changes in your personality or character.
Where there was an ember
Referring to a past spark or passion that has now turned into ashes.
Just ash remains
Highlighting the irreversible transformation, emphasizing loss or change.
You probably can't remember
Suggesting that you may have forgotten or are unaware of your own transformations.
All the ways you've changed
Reflecting on the multitude of ways you've evolved.
The colors of your portrait
The vivid qualities of your character have faded with time.
Have faded in the sun
Metaphorically, promises or commitments were not fulfilled as expected.
You never did deliver
Recalling unfulfilled promises or actions, possibly leading to disappointment.
What you said
Your words and assurances dissipated quickly, like a river running away.
Went running like the river
Your composure or sanity may have been lost in the process.
And you lost your head
A moment of confusion or breakdown when you were discovered.
When they finally found you
You revealed yourself unintentionally when others found you.
You just gave yourself away
A realization that the person known in the past is forever changed.
The person that I once knew
Acknowledging the irreversible loss of the person you once knew.
Is gone for good
Expressing doubt about the possibility of restoring the past connection.
And even though I want to
Despite the desire, the speaker questions their ability to restore the relationship.
I don't think I could
Unsure about helping you overcome the burdens or challenges you face.
Free you from the burden
Reflecting on the difficulty of freeing you from your struggles.
That's pinned you to the ground
Asking about another person, possibly running away from something.
So how 'bout another one
Repeating the question, emphasizing the mystery or urgency of the situation.
Who are you running from
Suggesting a connection to your mother, hinting at inherited traits or struggles.
How about another one
Highlighting the absence of joy or humor in the current situation.
Cause you are your mother's son
Indicating a lack of topics or shared experiences to discuss.
There's nothing left to laugh about
Reiterating the absence of joy, laughter, or meaningful conversation.
There's nothing left to talk about now
Emphasizing the current state of emptiness or lack of meaningful dialogue.
There's nothing left to laugh about
Repeating the idea that there's nothing left to find humor or discuss.
There's nothing left to talk about now
Summarizing the overall sentiment that the relationship or communication has become void of substance.
