Cover art for Warm Smiles Do Not Make You Welcome Here lyrics by Enter Shikari

I think this song is about unoriginal musicians- they can create any emotion they want in their listeners but instead chose to remake old songs or not try anything new.. but of course 'the fickle, they lap it up'. The masses buy these manufactured songs and they are fickle as their tastes change so easily- theres no such thing as loyalty to musicians anymore- they need to be 'left to ponder sense' they don't think, they follow trends like sheep. Maybe the people who arent welcome are the people who aren't their true fans? I'm not sure..

But maybe I'm taking it too literally as the rest of the album is more about climate change and the state of the planet.. :/

My Interpretation

you're on the money.

I think their music video confirms this, the way they get copied and reproduced by some record-label company looking guy, the type of person who might have a 'warm smile' but who is only trying to capitalize on the music art form.

you are barking up the wrong tree and tbf its less climate change and state of the planet and more about segregation of races and being outspoken against the british government and its constant greed.
