| The Smashing Pumpkins – Hummer Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
he is saying how religion and ignorance go hand in hand. if you're religious, you're ignorant to the wonders of life. "Faith lies in The ways of sin I chased the charmed But I don't want them anymore" sinning is something people naturally wanna do, but a lot of people don't because their "faith" is in the way of doing so. he chased the afterlife like all other religious folk, but he doesn't wanna be a part of the religious group anymore. "But when I woke up from that sleep I was happier than I'd ever been" referring to being religious as being asleep - like being on autopilot in life, not really embracing and living it to the fullest. when he woke up from that long period of sleep, he was a happier person. all in all, i think the song sends a message that says religious people take life for granted and don't enjoy it because they are too worried about being perfect in gods eyes just so they can go to heaven. and he used to be like that, but changed and experienced life in a whole new light. |

Simply put, this song is about being someone you're not. Love the message. The whole band thing can be a metaphor for just not being yourself in general, which is very cool. I love the line "And all the weekend rockstars are in the toilets Practicing their lines" ... ...meaning that the rockstars are in the toilet puking (you know rockstars and their stereotypical reputation of having hang overs) and they are practicing the lines to their songs...which is puke. the lyrics are comparing the lines to their song as puke, in a very subtle but clever way. These Monkeys never cease to amaze me! |

First verse talks about the fact that people want an idol in their lives to adore, or people want the feeling of discovering a new band before everyone else. Second verse is self explanatory. Third verse, I think is talking about how everyone is in this "box, doing what they're told" meaning they are following all the trends out there and what not, and the Arctic Monkeys are saying that we don't give a shit if our music is marketing suicidal, (either meaning that their music isn't doing so well, or it means that their music is sending out bad messages), and they will stick to what they are doing cause they don't want to be trapped in that "box". Fourth verse talking about how people think they have discovered this new band, just to find out that they aren't the first to actually discover them. Fifth verse is talking about how they are not lining up to be playdoh, or they are not lining up like the rest of these new and upcoming bands to be molded by the public to fit their liking...and they are not gonna put up with that molding of the "playdoh" if that makes sense... Then they are saying how its not you, its them, meaning its not the fans, its "them"...and who is them? I'm not sure...it could be the general media or what not. Rest is pretty self explanatory. Hope this helped. -dial |
