Sounds
Earlimart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the AM frequency
It's the sound they cannot stop
It's the sound, the sound
I don't wanna wait around, no, don't wanna hang around
If you find them hanging around
It's best not to cut them down
The lyrics in Earlimart's song "Sounds" seem to convey a message about disconnecting from the mainstream and embracing independent thought. The first two lines advocate for switching off the FM presets and tuning into the AM frequency, which is usually reserved for talk shows and niche broadcasts. This signals a departure from predictable and controlled content to something more raw and genuine. The next line, "It's the sound they cannot stop," implies that the establishment is threatened by this kind of content, as it challenges their authority.
