Arctic Monkeys – 2013 Lyrics 11 years ago
For me, in this song the lyrical speaker wants to critizes a little the times in which we live in.
The first stanza talks about how the technology has been able to watch a live event, and then pause it. He thinks that is amazing, and there's nothing you can't find on Internet.

In this part: 'On the back of a transmitter there's a little shiny fruit and it's coming after you
As for instagram and twitter she got caught in both lassoes
And neither one will cut her loose'

Alex is clearly talking about how a cellphone with its apps can trap people into thinking all day about posting something on the Internet.

In the bridge, he says that it doesn't matter how much technology we live with: nothing can beat the human touch and direct communication.

I like this song because Alex talks about how technology can help us but in the same way, it can make us slaves. A nice critique to modern society.
