We Need To Talk

Sad Breakfast's song 'We Need To Talk' delves into the complexities of personal relationships and the external pressures that often accompany them. The lyrics reflect a sense of defiance against societal expectations, emphasizing the importance of individual choice and mutual understanding in a relationship. The opening lines, 'Everyone is expecting but I don’t care I’ll be exceptic on my own,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the protagonist's determination to prioritize their own feelings over the opinions of others.

The recurring theme of 'it’s not what they want, it’s just what we want for us' underscores the idea that a relationship should be defined by the people in it, rather than by external influences. This sentiment is further reinforced by the line, 'sometimes you have to think about your best friend,' suggesting that the bond between the individuals involved is more important than conforming to societal norms. The repetition of 'it’s not what they want' serves as a powerful reminder to stay true to oneself and one's partner, even in the face of outside pressure.

Sad Breakfast's musical style, often characterized by introspective lyrics and a melancholic tone, complements the song's message. 'We Need To Talk' encourages listeners to reflect on their own relationships and consider whether they are being true to their own desires or merely succumbing to external expectations. The song's raw honesty and emotional depth make it a poignant exploration of the challenges and rewards of maintaining a relationship on one's own terms.
