Arctic Monkeys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Won't somebody let me out!
Don't wanna stick around no more
I said they're looking at ya strange
I said you're stickin' to the floor

Not one of you's got an ounce of style in ya
Said not one of you, no
Fucking hell I'll break your nose
If they keep on pushing you around
Keep on stepping on your toes
I'll pick you up when you fall down

Not one of you's got an ounce of style in ya
Said not one of you, no





Not one of you's got an ounce of style in ya
So not one of you, no

Overall Meaning

"Stickin to the Floor" is a punk-inspired rock song by Arctic Monkeys that uses sarcastic and powerful lyrics to convey a sense of frustration and anger. The singer is pleading to be let out of a situation where he feels trapped and oppressed. He points out that he is not comfortable around the people he is with and they are looking at him strangely. He uses the metaphor of "sticking to the floor" to represent the feeling of being stuck in a place where one does not belong.


Further, the singer is not happy with the lack of style and individuality shown by those around him. He says that nobody has an ounce of style and suggests that someone needs to stop to rectify the situation. This implies that the people around him are conformists and unwilling to step out of their comfort zones and express themselves.


The chorus of the song is a powerful declaration of the singer's intentions. He threatens to break someone's nose if they continue to push him around and step on his toes. He also vows to pick someone up if they fall down. This suggests that he is not completely hopeless and that he is willing to take action to help someone who needs it. The repeated phrase "not one of you's got an ounce of style in yer" conveys the singer's intense frustration and anger towards those around him who fail to be unique.


Overall, "Stickin to the Floor" is a powerful and aggressive song that uses metaphor and sarcasm to convey the singer's sense of frustration with those around him who fail to express their individuality.
