Raoul Lyrics
Our ambition got cast aside
Thrown away when the batteries died
And you'll start to compromise
Just to get to the other side
But, it's always for the best
And if you're not convinced
Then you'll get left behind
I lost, interest
CHORUS * 2
It doesn't seem like you mean it
I don't believe, that you believe it
And it feels like running with your eyes closed
If you forget what you're supposed to be
Let's go see Raoul
Let's make a stand
Let's go see Raoul
For all the ones who
Let's go see Raoul
Used to give a damn
Let's go see Raoul
Working over time
Our ambitions got cast aside
Thrown away when the batteries died
And you'll start to compromise
Just to get to the other side
CHORUS * 2
Let's go see Raoul * 4
In the family place
Let's go see Raoul * 6
CHORUS * 2
Let's go back to work (Repeats until end of song)
Thrown away when the batteries died
And you'll start to compromise
Just to get to the other side
And if you're not convinced
Then you'll get left behind
I lost, interest
It doesn't seem like you mean it
I don't believe, that you believe it
And it feels like running with your eyes closed
If you forget what you're supposed to be
Let's make a stand
Let's go see Raoul
For all the ones who
Let's go see Raoul
Used to give a damn
Let's go see Raoul
Working over time
Thrown away when the batteries died
And you'll start to compromise
Just to get to the other side
In the family place
Let's go see Raoul * 6

Catchy Song - love it!
These guys are amazing! I love all their songs bt they dont really mean anything, they are all just a bit of fun.
they said how this song was about a local man called raoul who worked in a shop in their town.
not very in depth meanings, but still funny!
Yeah a takeaway shop I heard Its a great song love this band
I defy you guys. The band say this is a song about lost ambitions, as embodied by Raoul, who lost his dreams and started working in a sandwich shop. It's all in the first and second stanzas.
its well good :-D lol good band and maybe its just me atm but "And it feels like running with your eyes closed" could be about love - or falling on love, that enjoying it but out of control feel. or anything else like that. i like the idea of the guy above ^ makes sense
This song is great, one of the best on the album. Yeah Raoul is some random guy who worked in a shop, im guessing some kinda food shop guessing by the vid for this song. He looks like a cool guy, id like to 'go see Raoul' someday ;)
THIS IS MY FAVE SONG!! even though it doesnt mean much in that kinda sence. But I really love it!!
this is a really beautiful song by them.
the 'And it feels like running with your eyes closed If you forget what you're supposed to be' is one of my favourite bits, its maybe about getting caught up and losing yourself, then the realisation of this, you're going blind, running, that its fast and you lose control. probably quite dangerous if you cant see where you're headed either. but bascily its unknown territory when you lose your core.
other than that it kindov feels like a union song: 'Let's go see Raoul Working over time' as if raoul has repressed all these people and they want to fight him.
'And you'll start to compromise Just to get to the other side' this kinda ties in with the losing yourself. in order to fit in or avoid confrontation they just do what they're told and begin to change.
ack. this is getting too long. its whatever it is.
or even. (meh) its raoul who's been repressed, they're just stating his case.
