Compliments Lyrics

Cover art for Compliments lyrics by Bloc Party

I think it's about feeling powerless. Or about not taking action on what you can see is wrong.... could fit both.

It's like what they can see and know, just goes to waste, because nothing is done about it. So they just fade away.....

That's my take on it

i agree completely. feeling powerless, when you know enough to know it's wrong and to know what's wrong but not enough to fix it.

everything around you. this is a great song.
