Talkin’
A song about breakups in the age of social media and toxic masculinity, by Alisa Amador. The fantastic band: Noah Harrington (Bass) and Sam Palermo (drums).
Talkin' (lyrics)
The social media have informed me
Today’s the day you’re changing age
Though bitterness wants to take over me
I still write something friendly on your page
Now, what I couldn’t have expected
Was just how promptly you’d respond
That now you’ve got all of this free time
And if I’m not too busy I should call
It’s not that I’m not ready
It’s not that I don’t care
But all that silence taught me that there’s some things I don’t have to share
Now I don’t need anyone to greet me in the morning
And I don’t need anyone to keep me warm at night
Why would I want to ruin it with talkin’
To the only one who had me at goodbye
Which patriarchal construct taught you
That silent treatment is okay
That when the fear starts taking over you
The bravest thing to do is run away
I won’t pretend to be an expert
But something about this is just wrong
I spent so many months so broken
And now that it’s convenient, I should call
It’s not that I’m not curious
It’s not that I feel scared
But all that distance made me realize maybe love was never there
Now I don’t need anyone to greet me in the morning
And I don’t need anyone to keep me warm at night
Why would I want to ruin it with talkin’
To the only one who had me at goodbye
Now I don’t need anyone to greet me in the morning
And I don’t need anyone to keep me warm at night
Why would I want to ruin it with talkin’
To the only one who had me at goodbye
