The lyrics to "Signs" by Badmarsh & Shri seem to be questioning the listener's understanding of various symbols and signs in the world. The song poses a series of questions asking if the listener knows the meanings behind different objects, places, and concepts. It suggests that these signs and symbols hold deeper significance and may convey hidden messages.
The song starts by asking about symbols related to appearance and fashion, such as black clothes, ear-rings, and a bald head. It then moves on to architectural symbols like high-rise buildings, columns, and ruins. The lyrics continue to explore various symbols and signs, including brand names like Malboro and Guinness, as well as materials like lycra, rubber, and leather.
The chorus repeatedly asks if the listener can read the signs, implying that there is a hidden language of symbols and meanings that people might not be aware of. The song extends beyond physical objects and delves into the meanings of graffiti, information, and intentions. It suggests that there is a need to decipher and understand the subtle implications and deeper messages behind these signs.
The song ends with a series of questions about colors, places like Peckham, Camden, and Soho, religious symbols like candles and crosses, and even fast food chains like Pizza Land, Berni Inn, and Burger King. The repeated question of "Can you read the signs yet?" emphasizes the importance of being attentive and perceptive to the messages conveyed through signs and symbols in our surroundings.

First time I heard this song...I was nine years old watching the Tony Hawk's Gigantic Skatepark Tour 2002 on VHS...this was one of the songs playing for the soundtrack. Always made me feel trippy.
