The Black Keys – Little Black Submarines Lyrics 13 years ago
I think this song is about a man who is either in some kind of coma or drug over dose drying to get back to his love and family again. ... Just hear me out.

Little black submarines
Operator please -- I believe this is an analogy for god
Put me back on the line -- consciousness
Told my girl I’d be back -- Love
Operator please -- God
This is wreckin my mind
Oh can it be
The voices calling me -- Friends or family
They get lost
And out of time -- He can't really sense them or how to get where the voices are coming from
I should’ve seen it glow -- What he was looking for
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
Pick you up, let you down
When I wanna go
To a place I can hide --- This and the above are the drugs or whatever happened to get him into this state --
You know me, I had plans
But they just disappeared
To the back of my mind -- He had given up when this OD or accident happened
Oh can it be
The voices calling me -- Friend or family
They get lost
And out of time -- He can't really sense them or how to get where the voices are coming from
I should’ve seen a glow -- What he's looking for
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
Treasure maps fallen trees -- His mind
Operator please -- God
Call me back when it’s time -- Accepting his fate
Stolen friends and disease -- Accepting his fate
Operator please -- God
Patch me back to my mind -- Make him conscious
Oh can it be
The voices calling me -- Friends and family
They get lost
And out of time -- He can't really sense them or how to get where the voices are coming from
I should’ve seen a glow -- What he was looking for
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
