Talk

Gho$tBoy's song 'Talk' delves into the dark and tumultuous journey of self-destruction and isolation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has been doubted and dismissed by others, only to find themselves in a state of despair and substance abuse. The repeated line, 'They said I'd never make it now, they jaws drop,' suggests a sense of vindication and surprise from those who underestimated the artist. However, this moment of triumph is overshadowed by the artist's internal struggles, as they repeatedly express a desire to avoid conversation and connection, stating, 'I don't wanna talk, high as fuck, I can barely walk.'

The song also touches on the destructive relationship with a partner, referred to as 'Shawty,' who is also caught in the cycle of substance abuse. The line 'Shawty tripping off the Xans, I can barely watch' highlights the mutual downfall and the inability to help each other. This relationship seems to be a reflection of the artist's own state, as they admit, 'This is who I am, I just slowly rot, smoke all of my pot.' The use of drugs as a coping mechanism is a recurring theme, emphasizing the artist's struggle to find peace and stability.

In the latter part of the song, the artist's sense of hopelessness becomes more pronounced. Lines like 'Had enough that shit, had to drop out' and 'Nowhere to go, nowhere to be' reveal a deep sense of aimlessness and resignation. The artist's plea for solitude and the desire to be left alone, 'So let me be just let me bleed, just leave me on the curb,' underscores the depth of their despair. The song 'Talk' is a raw and unfiltered portrayal of the artist's battle with their demons, highlighting themes of self-doubt, substance abuse, and the longing for escape from their pain.
