SONG MEANING

I Can Talk is criticising the ways of the music industry: “Primarily bands that are more successful than us often behave superior and arrogant. They think they’re something better even though they’re not. Things like that frustrate me.” – Alex Trimble, translated (Source)

SONG LYRICS

You won’t believe what I tell you
White coats and clever minds will chooseYou get a lot from this
Loose tongue and arrogance
It’s not appropriate
Don’t think that this is itNow I can talk, no one gets off
I know how you like to
Now I can talk, no one gets off

Now I can talk, no one gets off
I know how you like to
Now I can talk, no one gets off

A longer sentence brings no more
Than one that I had said before

It’s hard to compromise
When I see through your eyes
It’s just a common view
I guess it’s lost on you

Now I can talk, no one gets off
I know how you like to
Now I can talk, no one gets off

Now I can talk, no one gets off
I know how you like to
Now I can talk, no one gets off

Now I can talk, no one gets off
I know how you like to
Now I can talk, no one gets off

Now I can talk, no one gets off
I know how you like to
Now I can talk, no one gets off
