Cover art for Saintly Rows (Oh Oh) lyrics by Dear and the Headlights

This song is about feeling intimidated by the austerity of the church and its traditions. "Drooling vibrations in an empty room" suggests that the singer feels that even though everyone in the church is singing or chanting, that their is no meaning in it for them, and their worship is almost mechanical. "paranoia posed in saintly rows" is the idea that the congregation worships out of fear instead of passion.
