Cover art for Latchmere lyrics by Maccabees, The

Stay in your lanes - metaphor for restrictive rules of society.

No bombing and no heavy petting. Don’t get violent or sexual.

Veruca socks - metaphor for condoms?

Madames and monsters return to your cubicles. You kids have been getting too frisky. Get back to your rooms.

Latchmere’s got a wave machine. Maybe the wave machine will shake things up.

Maybe the whole thing is a metaphor for puberty/adolescence. Maybe the wave machine is the hormonal changes that will shake up the strict rules of childhood.
