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 my back
I don't need you
Tell me how to be, tell me how to be
Just gonna get my back
Just gonna get my back
Just gonna get my back
Just gonna get my back
Just gonna get my 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 tend me, tend me black and blue
Such a shame, you frame me with such disdain
You got me washed out, washed out, call it 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 my back
I don't need you
Tell me how to be, tell me how to be
Just gonna get my back
Just gonna get my back
Just gonna get my back
Just gonna get my back
Just gonna get my back
Back, back, back, back
Back, back, back, back
Back, back, back, back
Back, 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 to Disclosure’s “White Noise,” featuring AlunaGeorge, reveal the complicated dynamics of a toxic relationship. The first verse sets up the metaphor of the singer as a puppet, with their partner pulling their strings one by one until they’re completely under their control. While the idea of being controlled is scary, the singer admits that at times it can be fun to be under their partner's power. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase “just noise, white noise,” suggesting that the partner's constant manipulation and abuse has become a kind of background noise in the singer's life, almost unnoticeable but always present. The second verse delves deeper into the dysfunction of the relationship, with the singer describing their partner as cruel and enjoying inflicting pain. In the bridge, the singer seems to come to a realization that they don’t need their partner to tell them how to be or what to do.
Overall, “White Noise” is a powerful exploration of a troubled relationship where one person has all the power, and the other is trapped in repeating cycles of emotional abuse.
Line by Line Meaning
I know you're smart
I am aware that you have intelligence
You spin me round like a knot
You confuse me and make me feel tangled up
You know the pieces, pieces of my heart
You understand the parts of me that are vulnerable and emotional
Sometimes it's fun, you pull my strings one by one
Occasionally, it is enjoyable for you to manipulate me bit by bit
Until you get me, get me onto one
Until you succeed in getting me to do what you want
Lately I've been thinking if you wanna get tough
Recently, I have considered that if you desire a challenge
Then let's play rough
We should engage in a more intense and aggressive interaction
I don't need you
I do not require your assistance or guidance
Givin' it straight to me, givin' it straight to me
Being truthful, straightforward, and honest with me
You're just gonna get my back
You should expect my loyalty and support
Tell me how to be, tell me how to be
Instructing me on how to behave and act
Just noise, white noise
It is only meaningless sound that serves as a distraction
I'm hearing static, you're like an automatic
I am perceiving interference, and you are reacting without thought or feeling
You just wanna keep me on repeat and hear me crying
You are determined to make me experience pain and sadness again and again
Only you can look at me the way you do
You are the only one who sees me in the manner that you do
You always tend me, tend me black and blue
You consistently care for me, but also hurt me physically and emotionally
Such a shame, you frame me with such disdain
It is regrettable that you view me so negatively and unfairly
You got me washed out, washed out, call it drained
You have depleted me, leaving me feeling exhausted and without energy
Back, back, back, back
Repeatedly emphasizing the term "back" for emphasis
Just noise, white noise
Reiterated meaningless sound and static
Hear me crying
Acknowledging that I am in pain and sadness

Until you get me, get me, onto one
[Pre-Chorus: AlunaGeorge]
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

Giving it straight to me, giving 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
Just gonna get knocked back
Just gonna get knocked back

Then let's play rough

***** 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.
