Talk Me Down Lyrics
I wanna sleep next to you
But that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna come home to you
But home is just a room full of my safest sounds
Cause you know that I can't trust myself with my 3AM shadow
I'd rather fuel a fantasy than deal with this alone
I wanna sleep next to you
But that's all I wanna do right now
So come over now and talk me down
I wanna hold hands with you
But that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna get close to you
Cause your hands and lips still know their way around
And I know I like to draw that line, when it starts to get too real
But the less time that I spend with you, the less you need to heal
I wanna sleep next to you
But that's all I wanna do right now
So come over now and talk me down
(talk me down)
So if you don't mind, I'll walk that line
Stuck on the bridge between us
Gray areas and expectations
But I'm not the one if we're honest, yeah
But I wanna sleep next to you
And I wanna come home to you
I wanna hold hands with you
I wanna be close to you
But I wanna sleep next to you
And that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna come home to you
But home is just a room full of my safest sounds
So come over now and talk me down
(talk me down)
But that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna come home to you
But home is just a room full of my safest sounds
Cause you know that I can't trust myself with my 3AM shadow
I'd rather fuel a fantasy than deal with this alone
But that's all I wanna do right now
So come over now and talk me down
But that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna get close to you
Cause your hands and lips still know their way around
And I know I like to draw that line, when it starts to get too real
But the less time that I spend with you, the less you need to heal
But that's all I wanna do right now
So come over now and talk me down
(talk me down)
Stuck on the bridge between us
Gray areas and expectations
But I'm not the one if we're honest, yeah
But I wanna sleep next to you
And I wanna come home to you
I wanna hold hands with you
I wanna be close to you
And that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna come home to you
But home is just a room full of my safest sounds
So come over now and talk me down
(talk me down)

music video aside, i think it's about someone with poor mental health (depression, anxiety, or something else) feeling comforted and safe with their lover, or more, wanting their lover to comfort them and make them feel safe. however, due to whatever circumstances, the lover can't necessarily be there (maybe for distance reasons, maybe it's forbidden, maybe they broke up).
it's a sense of longing to be held and not be alone through dark times and in the presence of dark thoughts.
Music has verydifferent meanings to all of us, but i personally find tgis to be somehow linked to asexuality. Troye himself isn't asexual, but as an acespec peraon myself, I find this aong easy to relate to. It's about wanting to love and be close to a person but not really take it to any further than that. It's s about caring for someone without feeling the sexual need s most people do.
@Marias That's kinda why I went here to look it up. It resonates so well with my experience as an asexual person who experiences romantic attraction and relationships. It's actually inspired me to make a Spotify playlist called Ace Vibes-- all because of Troye's song here :)

Well for me, it's about two people who are in love but can't take their relationship to a higher level. They need to
In my point of view, this song is about a person who has a relationship with somebody even tough they are not in love. They enjoy themselves but it's not love.
