I think that this song is about feeling confused about life, especially about the future, and needing to talk with someone about it in order to get all the worries and concerns and fears out in the open, and hopefully try to figure out a solution to them. It is like a conversation between two people, one the person needing help, and the other the advisor. “tell me how you feel… well I feel like they’re talking in a language I don’t speak…” the chorus is about all the possibilities that life holds, and all the things that we can ahieve. “you could climb a ladder up to the sun, or write a song nobody had sung, or do something that’s never been done.” this song rocks, I find it comforting to listen to.

The music video for "Talk" does not fit the real meaning of this song. The lyrics are not about finding a giant robot. "Oh, brother I can't, I can't ge through. I've been trying hard to reach you 'cause I don't know what to do. Oh, brother, I can't believe it's true. I'm so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you. Oh I wanna talk to you..." I think this song is basically about everything we've done wrong in this world. War, drugs, killing, etc. Near the end of the song, the alternative chorus plays: "So you don't know where you're going and you wanna talk? You feel like you're going where you've been before? You'll tell anyone who'll listen but you feel ignored? Nothing's really making any sense at all." The last line also proves the meaning. People aren't making any sense at all. So basically, the music video really has nothing to do with the song.
