Talk In Tongues Lyrics

When you beat on that drum
Talk in that tongue
You’re just scratching on
the surface
So tell me what it means
A whisper to a scream
Slowly fades away

Then you wake up
And tomorrow is today
And you’re crying, crying like
a baby
Caught between the tides
(Did you lose your way?)
You lost your way
(Did you lose your way?)
You lost your way

Do you know where I’ve been?
Walls are caving in
It moves across a wire
There no need to talk
I crawl as you walk
Pushing me away

Then you wake up
And tomorrow is today
And you’re crying, crying like
a baby
Caught between the tides
(Did you lose your way?)
You lost your way
(Did you lose your way?)
You lost your way

Flowers in the bin
Close this hole I’m in
Everything was one
Nothing gets undone
You pay the bill
You lost your will
Just run away until

You wake up
And tomorrow is today
And you’re crying, crying like
a baby
Caught between the tides
(Did you lose your way?)
You lost your way
(Did you lose your way?)
You lost your way

at first, i didnt like this song because the beginning didnt appeal to me. but when i heard "flowers in the bin close this whole i'm in..." my whole view of it improved.

tell me about it!

"Flowers in the bin Close this hole I’m in Everything was one Nothing gets undone"

that whole part of the song just takes u into another world. what it all means exactly i'm not so sure, but the feeling i get from it says that it's purly perfect

This is my interpretation of that section. Hope it helps :)

Flowers in the bin - something good (flowers) has gone or changed into something not wanted (rubbish in a bin) Close this hole I’m in - wanting to end this constant search to find happiness Everything was one - everything was once all together, life was perfect and now it's not Nothing gets undone - even though everything's broken up, she is still perfect inside

I think that's what it means, would love other suggestions.
