Cover art for I Can Talk lyrics by Two Door Cinema Club

I think this song is about a guy who is institutionalized for doing something socially unacceptable, possibly a rape or murder.

You won't believe what I tell you, White coats and clever minds will choose- Doctors and psychiatrists choosing his fate and mental state You get a lot from this Loose tongue and arrogance- He has done and said things that aren't socially accepted It's not appropriate Don't think that this is it

Now I can talk, no one gets off- Meaning people have to pay for what they do, Noone gets off (I know how you like to) Now I can talk, no one gets off (repeat)

A longer sentence brings no more- speaking in terms of the time he must spend in the institution Than one that I had said before It's hard to compromise- I think this is about compromising their way of thinking to accept what he did When I see through your eyes It's just a common view- The man doesn't think what he did was wrong or have remorse I guess it's lost on you
