They met at Edinburgh College of Art but formed in Dalston, London in 2008.

The song "Waveforms" was used in the 2013 video game, Grand Theft Auto V on the "Worldwide FM" radio station.

The band released their eponymous debut album in January 2012, combining 80s pop rhythms with 60s Beach Boys-style vocal harmonies, a style that some, rightly or wrongly, have labelled folktronica.

Say Something
Django Django Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tables turned, you're on your own
Your bluff grew cold, a lonely song
The pressure's on, the faith is gone
The tea is strong, you took too long

To say something (say something), we learned nothing (we learned nothing)
Still left wanting, now you're running away
Now you're running away

Please say something, we learned nothing
Still left wanting, now you're running away

Same old song, lost its meaning
Feelings gone, singing along, singing along
Same old wrongs, keeps us going
Feelings gone, singing along, singing along

Just say the word, try to be free
To find a place, live easily
If life's a church, I'm on my knees
Send me a sign and I'll believe

Just say something
We learned nothing
Still left wanting
Now you're running away

Same old song, lost its meaning
Feelings gone, singing along, singing along
Same old wrongs, keeps us going
Feelings gone, singing along,

(Singing along)
(Singing along)
(Singing along)
(Singing along)

To say something, we learned nothing
Still left wanting
Now you're running away
Now you're running away

(Don't run away, oh singing along)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Django Django Denai Moore's song Say Something capture the emotions of disappointment and frustration towards someone who failed to communicate. The opening lines, "Tables turned, you're on your own, your bluff grew cold, a lonely song" portrays the feeling of being left alone and abandoned by someone who made promises but didn't keep them. As the song progresses, the lyrics express a plea to the person to just speak up and say something, to communicate and not run away. Lines like "just say the word, try to be free, to find a place, live easily" shows how the singer desires for the person to break free from whatever is holding them back and start anew.

The chorus is a repetition of the lines "to say something, we learned nothing, still left wanting, now you're running away," which reinforces the frustration and disappointment over the lack of communication. The verses also feature a recurring theme of "same old song, lost its meaning, feelings gone, singing along," highlighting the repetitiveness of the situation and how the emotional connection has been lost.
