Another great Pink Floyd song

keep talking

For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals
Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination
We learned to talk

There's a silence surrounding me
I can't seem to think straight
I'll sit in the corner
No one can bother me
I think I should speak now (why won't you talk to me)
I can't seem to speak now (you never talk to me)
My words won't come out right (what are you thinking)
I feel like I'm drowning (What are you feeling)
I'm feeling weak now (why won't you talk to me)
But I can't show my weakness (you never talk to me)
I sometimes wonder (what are you thinking)
Where do we go from here (what are you feeling)

It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking

Why won't you talk to me (I feel like I'm drowning)
You never talk to me (you know I can't breathe now)
What are you thinking (we're going nowhere)
What are you feeling (we're going nowhere)
Why won't you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
Where do we go from here

It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking


Doesnt it sound like the speaker is an aspie and is frustrating an NT(in brackets)?

Its a beautiful song. You must hear it!

ah yes, very good song, I remember when Pink Floyd released that album in 1994...

Funny, I never thought of it as AS/NT, I always interpreted the conversation as male/female. But that is the beautiful thing about poetry and song lyrics, they lend themselves to many different interpretations.

Ahh, I was just listening to that. I've been raised on Pink Floyd. Really brilliant song.

Yeah, they make much better use of back up singers than anyone else I know. That counter point singing is awesome.
