- Crying Lightning by Arctic Monkeys from their album "Humbug"
One of my favorites from them, if you like it please BUY the song or the album, do not steal...
I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING, ALL RIGHTS GOES TO ARCTIC MONKEYS
LYRICS:
Outside the café by the cracker factory
You were practicing a magic trick
And my thoughts got rude,
As you talked and chewed
On the last of your pick'n'mix
Said, "You're mistaken if you're thinking that I haven't been called 'cold' before."
As you bit into your strawberry lace
And offered me your attention in the form of a gobstopper
It's all you had left and it was going to waste
Your past times consisted of the strange,
And twisted and deranged
And I loved that little game you had called "Crying Lightning"
And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons
The next time that I caught my own reflection
It was on its way to meet you
Thinking of excuses to postpone
You never looked like yourself from the side
But your profile could not hide
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne
With folded arms you occupied the bench like toothache
Stood and puffed your chest out like you'd never lost a war
And though I tried so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw
And your past times consisted of the strange,
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called "Crying Lightning"
And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons
Uninviting
But not half as impossible as everyone assumes
You are crying lightning
Your past times consisted of the strange,
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called "Crying Lightning"
"Crying Lightning"
"Crying Lightning"
"Crying Lightning"
Your past times consisted of the strange,
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called "Crying..."
I went into a bar and this was playing it was amazing
omg so lucky
I wish
I WISH OMGGG
I’m going to be honest, the lyrics in this song confuse me yet I love them so damn much!!
ditto, perhaps vampires is abit... still my favourite though
I love explaining songs to people so here we go
Part 1
Pay attention to all the sweets alex turner mentions, pick'n'mix, strawberry lace, gobstopper, these are metaphors for sweet actions the girl he's talking to has done, however, we are warned that she may not be as sweet as we think hence "You're mistaken if you're thinking I haven't been called 'cold' before" so she may be giving Alex mixed signals. When Alex says "Your past-times consisted of the strange and twisted and deranged and I love that little game you have called "Crying Lighting" and how you like to aggravate the ice cream man on rainy afternoons" to me this lyric is saying she spends her time talking to a lot of men, she plays a game called "crying lighting" you can interpret this game as you'd like but to me it's her toying with the men's emotions for fun like a game. When he talks about the "ice cream man" notice he mentions another sweet, I think that the "ice cream man" is the man she toys with, "on rainy afternoons" or in other words on days she has nothing better to do, on dull days. TLDR: Alex uses a lot of metaphors for things, the lady he's talking to like toying with men's emotions for fun, she does it for entertainment. (I forgot to mention how when he says he loves her "game" he enjoys chasing her for her affection.)
Part 2:
"The next time I caught my own reflection it was on its way to meet you" I imagine him looking into a car mirror on his way to her house or wherever she is. "Thinking of excuses to postpone" he's starting to dislike her "game". "You never looked like yourself from the side but your profile could not hide the fact you knew I was approaching your throne" He may be talking about how she never looks at him directly but I'm not too sure, however, I do think he means she's not very good at hiding the fact she's excited for him to come over. When he says "your throne," I think he views her as someone with high authority, someone whos in control, someone who views themselves as someone who sits on a throne. "With folded arms, you occupied the bench like toothache, stood and puffed your chest out like you've never lost a war" When he says toothache, I believe he's referring to all of the previous sweets he mentioned, what happens when you eat too many sweets? You get toothaches! He's saying he's spent so much of his time with her that it's starting to cause him emotional pain. When he mentioned her puffing her chest out I think he means she knows she has power, this also refers back to the throne line, a king or queen never losing "wars". When he says "And though I try so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction, there was no cracks to grasp or claw" he's trying to avoid giving her what she wants, a reaction. But as the lyrics say "there was no cracks to grasp or claw" he gave her one anyways. Now it repeats the lines about her "game" but notice how now he says hate, he hates that little game called crying lighting. Also, see how he says "icky man" Alex was once the "ice cream man" someone who gave her what she wanted but now as the "icky man" he's trying to avoid that and it's making her upset. "Uninviting, but not half as impossible as everyone assumes, you are crying lighting" This line confused me still but I think he's saying she's not reaching out to him as much as she used to. however the line "not half as impossible as everyone assumes, you are crying lighting" has me wondering to this day. And in the last part, he repeats that he hated the game, he's done playing, "Your past times consisted of the strange, twisted and deranged" again mentioning that the way she supplies herself with entertainment is strange, twisted, and deranged. TLDR: Alex starts to realize he's being toyed with, and he breaks free from her "game", the lady playing the "game" was upset Alex stopped playing.
I loved explaining this song, I hope this explanation helps! This is just how I interpret this song the way you do may be different but after I analyzed the lyrics forever this is what My brain came up with. :)
@@kiwifruitbird7 nice explanation!
@@kgaytan thank you! :D
@@kiwifruitbird7to quickly add on to this, “crying lightning” is a term used to describe someone emotionally manipulative who will throw tantrums and act upset until they get what they want
Humbug is so underated.
Not as underrated as suck it and see though.
@@Jairoalvarz I'm fully agree with both
Do you guys need lots of people to know about and like a thing in order to enjoy it more? Just curious, not criticizing. I too feel sad for things, maybe because I feel there are less who I can relate to since they don't know about it.
Jairo Alvarez Humbug is better though
@Grant Elder joe
I learned english thanks to this song

Well done! I hope you get to enjoy many more songs.

Especially british accent

WHY TF DID I FIND THIS MASTERPIECE JUST NOW
The Weeknd and Arctic monkeys are the only 2 artists that have hidden MASTERPIECES. You’ll find more as time goes by and you unlock new feelings and experiences you’ll love them more
I miss this genre era. Still tbh+c and am are great but seems like they're changing genres in each albums.
Finally someone who is a Muse and AM fan...:,)
Experimental rock, mix of genres
this song changes my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:56 On my knees.
you past timeeeeee, listening to this songgggggg
_...ice-cream man on rainy afternoons_
avragate the
I love this song
I love the lyrics and the guitar solos on this. Can someone please explain me what does it mean when he says 'aggravate the icky man'?
in the north the corner shops called the icky shop where you get your sweets and that i always go on the way to school
provoke
In Sheffield they say 'icky' instead of ice cream, its just a play on their accents
I mean he says icecream man the first time, then literally only changes that one word.
Where I come from people don't get much ice cream whan it's too cold or raining, I guess that's the aggravation there.
"And my thoughts got rude and you talked and chewed on the last of your pick n mix" 🔛🔝
My 60-year-old dad says thank you and that this song is fu**ing outstanding poetry!
My all time song

0:43 what does he say? "and then a flip in your attention..." Or "and then offered me your attention"
the offered me... how it's written I'd swear
He say "and then a flip in your attention". The lyrics to this video are a bit wrong.
Look ruclips.net/video/_o7kOjmU57A/видео.html

There is Eminem and there’s Alex Turner

Is he talking about a little girl? Because there is so much name of candy and sweet...
Not a child, but a childish and spoiled woman

2:30 john shelby kicks in
Finally someone mentions something about it 😂🤣😂🤣.
Lyrics video should be without smoothing lyrics and lyrics must be quite before to better performing. This video didt work to leran the song whiel singing. ill find another
What's a gobstopper??
It's a sweet
It’s a massive hard candy ball that one licks or sucks on to get to the core. Biting it causes intense loss of teeth
Arabella best lyrics ever
What is this song about exactly
There's this woman and he's attracted to her but, she also appears cold. He still gives her a chance and goes out with her. He then realises that she's manipulative and likes to play games, however, she's not "half as impossible as everyone assumes [she is]". Regardless, he likes her games at first, plays along but, he gets tired of it and "hates" it later.
Listen to the slow readers club guys!
