Glitter and Trauma Lyrics
Diamonds, glitter and trauma tears, with an unfriendly atmosphere.
We'll make our night, we'll make tonight.
Your potential is underused, your skin will break into jigsaw shaped pieces of meat, you'll fall
Apart.
You can save them all.
I believe that you can.
Even though you never listen.
You never listen.
But you are, the human, strobe.
You are the human strobe.
We are, like lightening, surrounded.
You are the human strobe.
Slaughtered moments and useless tales, encourage others to take the blame.
I love you when, you're not around.
You can save them all.
I believe that you can.
Even though you never listen.
You never listen.
Let's take aim, you're looking the other way.
The right target, she's looking the other way.
There's no wreckage, I'll help you to do it right, tonight we'll make it ours.
You are, the human, strobe.
You are the human strobe.
We are, like lightening, surrounded.
You are the human strobe.
Let's take aim, I'll help you to do it right.
Tonight we'll make it ours.
You are, the human, strobe.
You are the human strobe.
We are, like lightening, surrounded.
You are the human strobe.
We'll make our night, we'll make tonight.
Apart.
I believe that you can.
Even though you never listen.
You never listen.
You are the human strobe.
You are the human strobe.
I love you when, you're not around.
I believe that you can.
Even though you never listen.
You never listen.
The right target, she's looking the other way.
There's no wreckage, I'll help you to do it right, tonight we'll make it ours.
You are the human strobe.
You are the human strobe.
Tonight we'll make it ours.
You are the human strobe.
You are the human strobe.

i love this song so much
haha i also thought it was "human straw" (_)
i think this song is about somebody you admire but dislike in person. but then again biffy always seem to use vocals as an instrument rather than to get a message across.
This is my opinion (and is probably wrong): I think this song is about someone who has a great deal of pressure but on them to be the light (strobe light- get it?) for everyone and save them. And they have to appear all like glitter (like there's nothing wrong and they're perfect etc.) but inside they aren't like that and feel traumatic and stuff. And the person that makes them feel invinsable and makes them happy isn't there anymore so they're dreaming of that person singing that song to them or something.
i think this is a awesome song, a great way to start the new album.. the chorus is disco like, just makes you want to sing along and dance.. like most good biffy songs the chorus is so powerful.. these guys were hitting out crazy beats long before the likes of franz ferdinand..
biffy lyrics don't seem to make any sense anymore. but i still love them.
This is a wonderful, though slightly confusing song. When i first hear it, i thought the lyrics said "You are the human straw..." I must be going deaf. sweat
This song is even better live! I saw Biffy live at the Oxford Truck Fesitval and they were fucking amazing!
I believe this song is talking about being insane, being inside an insylum (Spelling?) and, you know, the music video has a lot to do with this opinion.
great song, but its lightningn not lightening
sorry to be pedantic but it really annoys me when the lyrics on these are spelt wrong... lol
Awkward how you can't even spell it right yourself.
