| Of Monsters And Men – Little Talks Lyrics | 12 years ago |

I always thought this song was about a couple that grew up together. She becomes disconnected with life and is unhappy with the direction it's going in. He is trying to comfort her telling her he's there to help, but it's no use. In the end all that's left is a ghost of what she cared about and loved. Lately, I've been entertaining the idea that he's dead. in the line "The stairs creak as you sleep" could be referring to him being sleeping eternally and her thinking that his spirit is the one making them creak. The male part of this song, sounds as though no one is listening, since there's no real responses or direct communication that's usually conveyed in a song like this. So he could be talking to her, trying to help her and comfort her with his passing, but she can't hear it and is going deeper and deeper into depression about it. Then when saying "you're gone away I watched you disappear. all that's left is a ghost of you" is referring to him getting sick and slowly dying. Then with "wait for me, please hang around." is saying even though you're not here for me physically, stay with me until it's my time to pass too. When they say "Don't listen to a word I say, the screams all sound the same." could be referring to her being mad and cursing him for leaving her alone in the world without him. |
