white noise
AlunaGeorge & Disclosure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You spin me 'round like a knot
You know the pieces, pieces of my heart
Sometimes it's fun, you pull my strings one by one
Until you get me, get me onto one
Lately I've been thinking if you wanna get tough
Then let's play rough
Then let's play rough
I don't need you
Givin' it straight to me, givin' it straight to me
You're just gonna get knocked back
I don't need you
Telling me how to be, telling me how to be
You're just gonna get knocked back
Just gonna get knocked back
Just gonna get knocked back
Just gonna get knocked back
Just gonna get knocked back
Back, back, back, back
Back, back, back, back
Just noise, white noise
Just noise, white noise
I'm hearing static, you're like an automatic
You just wanna keep me on repeat and hear me crying
Just noise, white noise
Just noise, white noise
I'm hearing static, you're like an automatic
You just wanna keep me on repeat and hear me crying
Only you can look at me the way you do
You always tint me, tint me black and blue
Such a shame, you frame me with such disdain
You got me washed out, washed out, color drained
Lately I've been thinking if you wanna get tough
Then let's play rough
Lately I've been thinking if you wanna get tough
Then let's play rough
I don't need you
Givin' it straight to me, givin' it straight to me
You're just gonna get knocked back
I don't need you
Telling me how to be, telling me how to be
You're just gonna get knocked back
Just gonna get knocked back
Just gonna get knocked back
Just gonna get knocked back
Just gonna get knocked back
Back, back, back, back
Back, back, back, back
Just noise, white noise
Just noise, white noise
I'm hearing static, you're like an automatic
You just wanna keep me on repeat and hear me crying
(Hear me crying)
(Hear me crying)

Throughout the song, the singer conveys their awareness of their partner's tactics to keep them coming back, despite the hurtful and damaging behavior. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer is aware that their partner knows how to manipulate their emotions and make them feel entangled in their toxic relationship. The following lines imply that the singer recognizes the brokenness of their heart, which their partner can easily exploit.
The lyric, "Just noise, white noise, I'm hearing static, you're like an automatic, You just wanna keep me on repeat and hear me crying," conveys a sense of hopelessness and powerlessness that the singer experiences in the relationship. The use of the words "white noise" emphasizes the lack of substance in the relationship and how it only serves to distract from the unhealthy dynamics between the singer and their partner. The line "you just wanna keep me on repeat and hear me crying" highlights the singer's realization that their partner's intention is not to form a healthy connection but to keep the singer under their control.
Overall, "White Noise" depicts the danger of staying in toxic relationships and the damaging effects it can have on one's emotional well-being.

***** No not one ounce of sarcasm. Detroit is one of the most amazing cities.
1. At one time Detroit and the surrounding areas was one of the if not the single most wealthy city in the country per capita. It was a city developed during the Great Gatsby period with thousands of ridiculous mansions that are all over the place that one can buy for 50k to 100k. Im talking about a 5 thousand square foot 1920s mansion that in beverly hills would be 20 Million.
2. The entire city is made up of turn of the century ruins that could be renovated if more people moved there and brought the economy up. Imagine a city that has totally empty empire state building type buildings or Waldorf Astoria or Plaza Hotel buildings just totally empty.
3. There are thousands of factories and empty warehouses that could be turned into so much new useful things. At one point before the new govoner took office, Detroit was amassing a huge Motion Picture business with Hollywood studios shooting everything in Detroit because of its vast empty space, cityscape and low prices and tax rebates. Imagine all of those warehouses being turned into new fresh Motion Picture production sound stages or post production studios.
3. Detroit's streets were built for the auto industry. They are HUGE 8 lane streets like Michigan Ave, Gratiot Ave, Woodward, Jefferson BLVD and because the city is so economically depressed and a virtual ghost town, there are like NO COPS ANYWHERE. Going buck wild in Detroit and driving all over the place REALLY RALLY FAST not having to worry about getting pulled over is absolutely amazing. Not only that, the city is HUGE, is is the size of Manhattan, Boston and I think San Fransisco rolled up into one, and there is LOTS of areas to drive.
4. Detroit has one of the largest and last still standing Drive In Theatres in the country called the Ford Wyoming with 5 screens and is open YEAR ROUND, through rain sleet or snow!
5. Detroit has a huge new young entrepreneur creative community that has migrated there because of vast warehouse space and absurdly cheap property. For 100k you can buy a GIANT LOFT 2 thousand square foot loft that would cost 10 million dollars in Manhattan.
6. Bell Isle is like central park but only way more massive.
Detroit is like amazing DIAMOND that very few people know about. They only see all the bullshit propaganda on TV that loves to show Ruin Porn.
With enough effort, creativity and will, Detroit could be one of the best and most lucrative cities in the country.
