white noise
Disclosure/Aluna George 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)
The lyrics of “White Noise” by Disclosure featuring AlunaGeorge express the frustration and helplessness felt by a person who is being controlled and toyed around by their partner. The song’s opening lines “I know you’re smart, you spin me round like a knot” suggest that the singer’s partner is intelligent and skilled in manipulating them emotionally. The next line “you know the pieces, pieces of my heart” implies that the partner is privy to the singer’s vulnerabilities and uses them to their advantage.
The chorus “just noise, white noise, I’m hearing static, you’re like an automatic, you just wanna keep me on repeat and hear me crying” highlights the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of emotional abuse. The partner keeps repeating the same patterns of behavior, causing the singer to feel suffocated and disturbed. The lyrics “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” suggest that the partner uses physical and emotional abuse to control the singer.
The song's repeated chorus emphasizes how the singer wants to change things up and switch roles with their partner. The lines "Lately, I've been thinking, if you wanna get tough, then lets-play-rough" reinforce how the singer wants a chance to be in control for once. Ultimately, however, the song's lyrics highlight the power dynamics that exist in abusive relationships and how a victim can feel trapped and powerless to leave.

I know you’re smart
I am aware that you are intelligent
You spin me round like a knot
You make me feel entangled and confused
You know the pieces, pieces of my heart
You know and understand my emotions and vulnerabilities
Sometimes it’s fun, you pull my strings one by one
Occasionally, it can be enjoyable when you manipulate me and toy with my emotions
Until you get me, get me onto one
Until you successfully control and manipulate me completely
Lately I’ve been thinking if you wanna get tough
Recently, I have been considering whether or not you want to play rough
Then let’s play rough
If that is the case, then we should engage in a competitive game
I don’t need you, giving it straight to me, giving it straight to me
I do not require your blunt or direct opinions or criticism
You’re just gonna get my back
You will only receive my support
Telling me how to be, telling me how to be
Instructing me on how to act or behave
Just gonna get my back
You will only receive my loyalty
Back, back, back, back
Repeated emphasis on having my support
Just noise, white noise
You are only generating pointless chatter and creating meaningless distractions
I’m hearing static, you’re like an automatic
I am hearing only static or white noise; your actions are automatic and without meaning or purpose
You just wanna keep me on repeat and hear me crying
You only seek to repeatedly manipulate and hurt my emotions
Only you can look at me the way you do
You are the only one who sees and judges me in the way that you do
You always tint me, tint me black and blue
You consistently color the way I view myself negatively, both emotionally and physically
Such a shame, you frame me with such disdain
It is a disappointment that you consistently view me with disdain and negative judgements
You got me washed out, washed out, color drained
You have exhausted me, drained me of my color or vibrancy, and stripped me of my energy and vitality

***** 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.
