NEEDTOBREATHE Lyrics

"Talk Of The Town"

Blood red lipstick painted on
Lightin' up another sundown cigarette
Cameras ready, curtains drawn
Lights are on, the stage is set

Blindin' diamonds can't keep shinin' on your stolen crown
Sooner or later, we all know that plastic castles all fall down

I saw you fakin' a smile, take a lap in your gown
Lovin' yourself when there is no one around
Are you the talk of the town now?
Are you the talk of the town now?
And when you're sittin' alone, take a look at you now
You see your reflection, is it makin' you proud?
Are you the talk of the town now?
Are you the talk of the town now?
Are you the talk of the town?

Ooh la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la
Ooh la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la

Mornin' after, headache hits
Still no sign of last night's ghost at home
Is this what livin' really is?
Can't give away yourself if you want to be known

I saw you fakin' a smile, take a lap in your gown
Lovin' yourself when there is no one around
Are you the talk of the town now? (Are you the talk of the town?)
Are you the talk of the town now? (Are you the talk of the town?)
And when you're sittin' alone, take a look at you now
You see your reflection, is it makin' you proud?
Are you the talk of the town now? (Tell me, are you the talk of the town now?)
Are you the talk of the town now? (Ayy)
Are you the talk of the town? (Are you the talk of the town?)

Ooh la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la
Ooh la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la

Blindin' diamonds can't keep shinin' on your stolen crown
Sooner or later, we all know that plastic castles all fall down

I saw you fakin'
I saw you fakin' a smile, take a lap in your gown
Lovin' yourself when there is no one around
Are you the talk of the town now? (Are you the talk of the town?)
Are you the talk of the town now? (Are you the talk of the town?)
And when you're sittin' alone, take a look at you now
You see your reflection, is it makin' you proud?
Are you the talk of the town now?
Are you the talk of the town now? (Tell somebody)
Are you the talk of the town? (Are you the talk of the town?)

Ooh la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la (Are you the talk of the town?)
Ooh la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la (Anywhere, figure it out yourself, are you the talk?)
Ooh la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la (Are you the talk of the town? Woo, I can't see it, I can't see it)
Ooh la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la (Now I see it, are you the talk of the town?)

NEEDTOBREATHE said about "Talk Of The Town", "There is such an increasing pressure and gratification to contort our faces and bodies for a picture to share an altered moment or image with the world. The song is playfully asking what we're hoping to gain by doing that, and is it really worth it?"

This song marks the first independent release of NEEDTOBREATHE in the band's career.

The music video for "Talk Of The Town", directed by Dylan Reyes, was filmed in the streets of Nashville. Shared the band, "For the video, we wanted to make something outlandish that shows how ridiculous people can be caring about self-image. We all can put on a mask to try and make ourselves look like we've got it all together. But clearly, nobody's perfect. We hope people dig it."
