Everybody Talks Lyrics

It's like a satire, really.

It tells a story which happens a lot, about s girl and a boy liking each other, but the rumors keep getting in the way. People keep talking and saying nasty things, could be about the boy (that she souldn't date him) or about her (giving her a lame reputation as if she's sleeping around, which she obviously is not) or about them in general (when there's a new couple the society arounds it always acts ridiculously, even though the persons in the spotlights want to take things slow or whatever).

I like this song because it reminds me of all of us, actually, of society in general, and of how people behave and what kind of behaviour is deemed right and what kind is deemed wrong. I don't like how people keep chatting behind someone else's back, and I definitly don't like it when some shitty words get in the way of what we want to achieve - love, in this case.

I feel like the song mocks all of us and it makes me smile because it reminds me to do what I would love to do.

@PollyKnotswise yes!! This is exactly what I felt about the song too! I love this song a lot because I have personally dealt with this same situation. It kinda gives me something to think about.
