Fair and Kind Lyrics
The Signal You pass the buck, you pass the blame You like to…
We Don't Belong I guess it's where we had to let it end. It…
Brian
on The Signal
Boundless loneliness will nudge us
On a bus over, the frozen ground
Where our plans rise with
receding snow, the songs in our ears are,
all we know We’ve never been more at home
When in a room filled with strangers,
We fancy ourselves invisible,
But possibility breeds exhilaration
Settles and suffocates and, they’ll leave us alone
When we leave alone without having spoken
Routine
Fill us with purpose
We’re sinking so far
Into ourselves
[Verse 2]
We wear our badges
Speak in tongues -we’re always
Searching for another one
But a signal, a signal, a signal
With no receivers, just noise
A signal, a signal, a signal, a signal
With no receivers, just noise
Brian
on The Signal
Boundless loneliness will nudge us
On a bus over, the frozen ground
Where our plans rise with
receding snow, the songs in our ears are,
all we know We’ve never been more at home
When in a room filled with strangers,
We fancy ourselves invisible,
But possibility breeds exhilaration
Settles and suffocates and, they’ll leave us alone
When we leave alone without having spoken
Routine
Fill us with purpose
We’re sinking so far
Into ourselves
[Verse 2]
We wear our badges
Speak in tongues -we’re always
Searching for another one
But a signal, a signal, a signal
With no receivers, just noise
A signal, a signal, a signal, a signal
With no receivers, just noise
Brian
on The Signal
The lyrics to Fair and Kind's song "The Signal" are a critique of someone who refuses to take responsibility for their actions and instead blames others for their shortcomings. The singer expresses their frustration with this person and their desire for someone to show them "what not to do." They suggest that this person is condescending and lacks innocence, and that the signals they send out are not genuine. In the end, the singer declares their intention to take things too far and "blast them to the stars."
The song is notable for its use of repetition, both in the chorus ("I've been waiting for someone like you") and in the verses ("You pass the buck, you pass the blame"). This repetition reinforces the song's message and creates a kind of mantra that the listener can take with them.
Overall, "The Signal" is a powerful and introspective song that encourages listeners to take responsibility for their actions and to be mindful of how their signals can impact others.
