Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Boy, you better put that pen to paper, charm your way out
If you talk, you better walk
You better back your shit up
With more than good hooks
While you're all under the gun
Start talking a sensationalist
Oh, he's slightly clever to just a certain extent
If you talk, you better walk
You better keep your mouth shut
With more than good hooks
While you're all under the gun
Panic, meet the press
It's time for us to take a chance
It's time for us to take a chance
Panic, meet the press
It's time for us to take a chance
It's time for us
Well, we're just a wet dream for the web scene
Make us it, make us hip, make us scene
Or shrug us off your shoulders
Don't approve a single word we wrote
Well, we're just a wet dream for the webzine
Make us it, make us hip, make us scene
Or shrug us off your shoulders
Don't approve a single word that we wrote
I'm burning and I'm blacking my lungs
Boy, you know it feels good with fire back on your tongue
If you talk, you better walk
You better back your shit up
With more than good hooks
While you're all under the gun
Start talking a sensationalist
Oh, he's slightly clever to just a certain extent
Oh, keep quiet let us sing like the doves
Then decide if it's done with purpose or lack thereof

The band is aware that they are "just a wet dream for the webzine," which means they must find a way to stand out from the pack.
The chorus urges the listener to "meet the press," or take a risk and put themselves out there. There is a sense of desperation in this call to action, as if this is the only way to succeed in the music industry. The song ends with a sarcastic commentary on the value of critics' opinions, suggesting that the weather is "indifferent" or "disinterested" in what they have to say.
Overall, "London Beckoned Songs About Money Written by Machines" is a commentary on the difficulty of making it as a musician in the digital age. It is a reminder that success is not guaranteed, and that artists must be prepared to work hard and take risks in order to stand out.

***** Although those lyrics would make a bit more sense, it's actually back (I searched it up)
@xoftri2435
***** oh, I apologize, I was focusing on 'back' because in your previous comment you said "pack"
@scyphozoa
since he's talking about a critic, they would be backing their critique up with something idk if u were talking abt somethin else but
