[Intro] | Csus2  | G   D  | 2x |      |      |      |   | [Verse 1] We’re waiting for something to happen But nothing is snapping us out of this trance Our eyelids are heavy and soon we’re all ready To obey every single command [Pre-Chorus] But I feel lost no map in front of me And I don’t know which way is up Wishing we could just hit pause Just enough to breathe Oh why can’t I shake you Awake from this dream? [Chorus] I never wanted to disturb the peace But it feels like no one’s listening Are we talking to ourselves? Are we just talking to ourselves? [Verse 2]  I’m so good at spеaking out of turn And talking back I have some nervе  If I said this all to your face Forgive me sometimes I forget my place [Pre-Chorus] So what’s it gonna be? Will you dig in or give up? Lean in or just get lost? Drift away from here This demands your attention So hear me when I say [Chorus] I never wanted to disturb the peace But it feels like no one’s listening Are we talking to ourselves? Are we just talking to   our----selves?          [Bridge] What are we trying to say?                          And tell me what would it take To pry open their eyes? I would wade in the water I’ll stand in the fire I am not afraid And I would break down the door If you give me the sign For the chance to be yours I would lay down my life I am not afraid [Instrumental] |   |   |   |   | [Chorus] I swear I never wanted to disturb the peace But it feels like no one’s listening Are we talking to ourselves?   Yeah are we talking to   our----selves?

À propos de la chanson

La chanson aborde le sentiment de stagnation et de désespoir face à une situation où l'on se sent inaudible. Elle évoque la lutte intérieure de vouloir exprimer ses pensées tout en ressentant que les autres ne prêtent pas attention. Une sorte d'appel à la prise de conscience, à sortir de l'apathie collective, afin de reconnecter avec soi et avec les autres. Le contexte pourrait être celui d'une époque où l'indifférence semble omniprésente, où les individus se retrouvent piégés dans leurs propres réflexions, et où l'angoisse d'être incompris domine. C'est une quête de vérité personnelle, un besoin urgent de se faire entendre dans un monde qui semble sourd à nos appels.
