Talk 2 Me
Montell Fish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why don't you talk to me?
Like you used to, you don't talk to me
Why don't you talk to me?
Like you used to, you don't-
For way too long
Been in my, been in my head
You've been gone, on and on
I am searching, on and on
Like you used to, you don't talk to me
Like you used to, you don't
Talk to me
Why don't you talk to me?
Like you used to, you don't
I thought
That you were
That could ever happen to me
And I fell
From you, God
Please help me
Said now I see
All I need is you
Talk to me
Why don't you talk to me?
Montell Fish's song "Talk 2 Me" is a plea for communication from someone who deeply misses the connection they once had with their partner. The repeated phrase "Why don't you talk to me?" expresses the sense of frustration and confusion that comes with feeling ignored and shut out. The singer is trying to understand why this person, who used to be so open and communicative with them, has suddenly become distant and unresponsive.
The second verse of the song reveals that this has been going on for five months, a significant amount of time to be left in the dark without any explanation. The singer is "searching" for answers and trying to make sense of what went wrong, but to no avail. It's clear that the loss of this communication has had a profound impact on them.
The bridge of the song brings in a spiritual dimension, as the singer turns to God for help and clarity. They admit that they were once so consumed by their love for this person that they thought they were all they needed. But now, in the absence of that love and communication, they are left with a sense of emptiness and a renewed appreciation for their faith.
Overall, "Talk 2 Me" is a poignant and relatable expression of the pain and longing that comes with a relationship breakdown. It underscores the importance of communication and the devastating effects that its absence can have.

The visuals remind me of an indie film. Really loving them.
@stoner_vinny
Same bro, I loved the film direction. The director is Caleb Wild, and from his other work that I’ve seen, it seems to be his directing style.
