High, Hot And Horny
The song describes a character who leads a reckless and hedonistic lifestyle, is manipulative, cheats at games, is excessively sexually active and takes drugs. The character even makes fun of the possible consequences of his/her actions.
Modern Times
This song presents a hedonistic anthem that embraces the indulgences and excesses of contemporary life, with a playful, almost irreverent tone. The repetition of »modern times« underscores a sense of liberation from traditional constraints, where fleeting moments of ecstasy define the experience. The imagery—sharp suits, gold teeth, and high-energy sexual encounters—paints a picture of a life focused on thrill-seeking and self-gratification. The recurring »rock, paper, scissors« line adds a whimsical, almost childish tone, juxtaposed with the raw physicality of the lyrics. The song encapsulates a world where superficiality reigns, and impulse and desire drive the narrative.
No Visa for Mona Lisa
The song explores themes of regret, memory, and emotional detachment through the lens of a man haunted by a past relationship. The protagonist is meticulous and sentimental, surrounding himself with reminders of the woman he once loved. His days are spent in a well-organised world, where even the smallest details—such as words, sighs, and cries—are cataloged in his mind, suggesting an inability to let go. The lyrics draw a contrast between his fastidious nature and the passionate, fiery presence of the woman, who is described as a »gun of a girl« with an untamed spirit. The phrase »no visa for Mona Lisa« metaphorically captures the idea of a love that could not transcend certain barriers, whether emotional or situational. Her attempt to reconnect, symbolized by sending him a message, feels futile, like the rising sun that »rushed down again«, hinting at the coldness that now defines their relationship.
Tell Your Face Too
This song’s tension lies in the clash between outward success and internal dissatisfaction. It represents a sharp critique of superficiality and self-deception, using sarcasm and wit to expose the vanity and emptiness of modern life. The protagonist embodies a figure thriving on external validation—claps, cheers, and the admiration of »fans hungrier than I’ll ever be«. The recurring refrain, »I’m happy, I hope you’re happy too«, is delivered with biting irony, suggesting that neither the singer nor those around them truly experience joy, despite appearances.
Tiddly Camels
The song weaves a surreal, whimsical narrative filled with playful metaphors, capturing a dreamlike state of mind. It blends mundane elements—like »poached eggs« and a »growling stomach«—with bizarre, fantastical visions, such as »skeletons jump and jive« and »footprints on the ceiling«. The protagonist moves through this absurd landscape with a detached, almost indifferent attitude, refusing to apologise for their quiet nature and instead blaming it on physical hunger or lack of care. References to Voltaire and church bells lend a touch of philosophical and existential musings amid the chaos.
World Around You
The song expresses deep disillusionment and betrayal, using stark, visceral imagery to convey feelings of emotional exhaustion. The protagonist, moving from town to country on an »empty train«, questions their significance in another’s life, wondering if they have been reduced to a mere sidenote in someone else’s story. The chorus reflects a world where manipulation and deceit are commonplace. The protagonist feels trapped in a toxic relationship or system that saps their strength and feeds on their vulnerability, leaving them drained and empty. The song paints a bleak picture of a manipulative world where love is tainted by self-pity and deceit, leaving the protagonist struggling to retain their dignity amidst the onslaught of emotional and psychological harm.
Be with Me
The song tells the story of a tumultuous, elusive relationship. The protagonist finds themselves caught in late-night introspection, a restless, fragmented state of mind. They seem detached, their mind a »bag full of tricks«, signalling confusion and inner conflict. The repeated refrain, »If you wish to be with me at the holiday house by the sea«, evokes a place of escape, a dreamlike destination that feels distant and unattainable. The invitation is conditional, requiring a shift in approach—»try another tack«—and a willingness to confront something deeper, the »mud and blood« that implies emotional messiness, struggle, and rawness. Ultimately, the song suggests that love or connection requires more than surface-level interactions; it demands confronting the gritty, painful realities of life if one hopes to reach the dream of being together.
