Everybody's Talkin' Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Zenarcher 

Cover art for Everybody's Talkin' lyrics by Willie Nelson

The lyrics describe a person who is feeling overwhelmed by the constant chatter of people around them and is seeking to escape to a place where they can find peace and solitude.

The imagery of going to where the sun is shining, sailing on a summer breeze, and skipping over the ocean like a stone all suggest a desire for freedom and a sense of release from the pressures of daily life.

The repetition of the phrase "Everybody's talkin' at me" emphasizes the feeling of being drowned out by the noise of others.
