Oh brother I can't, I can't get through
I've been trying hard to reach you 'cause I don't know what to do
Oh brother I can't believe it's true
I'm so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you
Oh I wanna talk to you
You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody has sung or do
Something that's never been done
Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
Tell me how do you feel?
Well I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak
And they're talking it to me
So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody has sung or do
Something that's never been done, do
Something that's never been done
So you don't know where you're going and you wanna talk
And you feel like you're going where you've been before
You tell anyone who'll listen but you feel ignored
Nothing's really making any sense at all, let's talk
Let's talk, let's talk, let's talk
Explication des paroles de Talk de Coldplay
La chanson « Talk » de Coldplay aborde le thème de la communication et des malentendus qui peuvent survenir dans une relation. Le morceau, issu de l’album « X&Y » sorti en 2005, a été créé à partir d’un sample de la chanson « Computer Love » de Kraftwerk. L’inspiration de la chanson provient également du désir de Chris Martin et du groupe de créer une atmosphère futuriste et expérimentale. Une anecdote intéressante est que lors de l’enregistrement de la chanson, le producteur Brian Eno a inversé certains des enregistrements pour leur donner un son mystérieux. En conclusion, « Talk » est une exploration poignante des difficultés de communication au sein d’une relation, servie par une instrumentation innovante et captivante.
