The Joke's on Us
Unraveling Life's Pranks: Biffy Clyro's Reflection on Existence
Lyrics
What's that sound? It's the sound of the truth in us
Reflecting on the truth within oneself and others.
Reaching highs that we won't in the future
Aspiring to achieve highs that may be unattainable in the future.
You can't say I didn't warn ya
A warning about impending consequences or outcomes.
It makes me wanna scream
An intense emotional response, possibly frustration or anger.
Let's create our own fire
Suggesting the idea of creating something meaningful or powerful.
Rainbows in the shape of a girl
Imagery of beauty represented by rainbows in the shape of a girl.
Take whatever you want from us
A willingness to give or share without reservation.
What are you staring at?
A challenge or inquiry about the observer's focus.
Is it our souls?
Questioning whether the observer is perceiving the essence of their being.
We embrace all the violence
Acceptance of violence with a small infusion of happiness.
With a small dose of happiness
Balancing negativity with a modest amount of joy.
Is it us?
Questioning the collective identity of the speaker and others.
Are we alive because God saved us
Raising the question of whether life is a result of divine intervention.
Or is life just a juggernaut?
Contemplating if life is an unstoppable force.
Are we alive because God tricked us
Considering the possibility of being alive due to divine deception.
And this is all just a joke on us?
Suggesting life might be a cosmic joke played on humanity.
Stab my heart it won't stop beating on
Expressing resilience in the face of emotional pain.
Cage my mind it won't stop tripping in
Desiring freedom from mental constraints.
You can't say I didn't warn ya
A repeated warning with a provocative twist.
It makes me wanna cream
A play on words, expressing strong emotion.
Let's move to California
Suggesting a desire for a new beginning, possibly in a place like California.
Find ourselves a whole new world
Seeking a fresh perspective or a different reality.
We embrace all the violence
Reiteration of accepting violence with a touch of happiness.
With a small dose of happiness
Reaffirming the delicate balance between negativity and joy.
Is it us?
Revisiting the question of collective identity.
Are we alive because God saved us
Revisiting the question of life's origin and purpose.
Or is life just a juggernaut?
Contemplating the possibility of life as an unstoppable force.
Are we alive because God tricked us
Reconsidering the notion of divine deception in existence.
And this is all just a joke on us?
Reemphasizing the idea that life might be a cosmic joke.
I want to take it back, I want to take it back
Expressing a desire to undo or retract something.
I want to live in the dark, I want to live in the dark
Expressing a preference for obscurity or ignorance.
I'm in love with somebody else
Admitting to being emotionally involved with someone else.
I'm in love with somebody else
-I'm in love with somebody else
-I'm in love with somebody else
-Are we alive because God saved us
Revisiting the question of life's origin and purpose.
Or is life just a juggernaut?
Reiterating the consideration of life as an unstoppable force.
Are we alive because God tricked us
Reemphasizing the idea that life might be a cosmic joke.
And this is all just a joke on us?
Posing a final question about life being a joke on humanity.
