Startup Chime Lyrics

Lyric discussion by roxusan 

Cover art for Startup Chime lyrics by Ladytron

This is about isolationism, or the act of being isolated. The references of a "school holiday she could do without" and the "unfamiliar brand" all point to unconmon things. People feel happy during school holidays, and it's rather uncommon to see unfamiliar brands on empty shelves. The person in the song is most probably a computer addict, huddled in her room, isolated from the world around her. I used this song in a class presentation on "Isolationism." Erm, that is all. CHOW! And don't touch the sushi.

XOXOXO, Roxanne
