My Number
Foals(폴스) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We don't need any trouble now
We don't need the city
Who create all the culture now
'Cause I feel, I feel alive
I feel, I feel alive
I feel the streets are all pulling me down
So people of the city
I don't need your counsel now
And I don't need that good advice
'Cause you don't have my lover's touch
You don't have my number
We don't need any trouble now
Who create all the culture
We can move beyond it now
Now the wolves is knocking at my door
Bang-bangin', ask for more
Stand here we stand tall
We could move beyond these walls
I don't need your counsel
And I don't need these city streets
And I don't need that good advice
'Cause we can move beyond it now!
You don't have my number
We don't need any trouble now
Create all the culture
You don't have my lover's touch
'Cause I feel, I feel alive
I feel, I feel alive
I feel the streets are not far from here
Do you even hear me?
Do you even know my name?
Can we see the ocean now?
(You don't have my lovers touch)
Can you, can you hear me?
Now you're really listening now
'Cause you don't have my number
And we don't need each other now
You can't steal my phone though
'Cause you don't have my lovers touch
You don't have my number
And I don't need no one now
And I don't need these city streets
Who create all the culture now
The song "My Number" by Foals(폴스) describes the feeling of being alive, free and independent. The lyrics suggest that the singer doesn't need anyone's advice or counsel, and that they can move beyond the culture that the city has created. The chorus, "You don't have my number, we don't need any trouble now," highlights the independence that the singer feels. They don't need anyone else because they feel alive and in control of their life. The line "Cause I feel alive" repeats several times, emphasizing the sense of freedom and aliveness that the singer is feeling.
The lyrics also suggest a certain level of rebelliousness against the establishment. The line "Who create all the culture now" suggests that the singer doesn't want to follow the cultural norms that the city is trying to impose. They want to move beyond it and find their own path. The line "Now the wolves are knocking at my door" could be interpreted as a reference to the pressures that society puts on individuals to conform. The singer is standing tall and refusing to succumb to those pressures.

(You still don't understand what I need emotionally)
Now you're really listening now
Finally, you're paying attention
And we don't need each other now
We're better off without each other
You can't steal my phone though
You can't steal my ability to connect emotionally with another person
And I don't need no one now
I don't need anyone else to be happy
Who create all the culture now
Living outside the city, I can create my own culture

"My Number"
You don’t have my number, we don’t need each other now
We don’t need the city, the creed or the culture now
'Cause I feel, I feel alive, I feel, I feel alive
I feel the streets are all pulling me down
So people of the city I don’t need your counsel now
And I don’t need your good advice, you don’t have my lover’s touch
You don’t have my number, we don’t need each other now
The creed or the culture, we can move beyond it now
Now the wolf is knocking at my door, bang-banging, ask for more
Stand here, we stand tall, we could move beyond these walls
I don’t need your counsel, I don't need these city streets
I don’t need that good advice 'cause we can move beyond it now
You don’t have my number, we don’t need each other now
The creed or the culture, you don’t have my lover’s touch
'Cause I feel, I feel alive, I feel, I feel alive
I feel the streets are all far from there
Do you even hear me? Do you even know my name?
Can you see the ocean now? You don’t have my lover’s touch
You don’t have my number, you don’t have my number
People, can you hear me? Are you even listening now?
'Cause you don’t have my number, we don’t need each other now
You can't steal my thunder 'cause you don’t have my lover’s touch
You don’t have my number and I don’t need no one else
And I don’t need these city streets, the creed or the culture now
(Oooh now)

[Post-Chorus 1]
Cause I feel the colour, I feel alive

And I don’t need your good advice
Cause you don’t have my lover’s touch
[Chorus 2]
You don’t have my number
We don’t need each other now
The creed or the culture
We can move beyond it now

Stand here, we stand tall
And we can move beyond these walls

I don’t need that good advice
Cause we can move beyond it now

[Post-Chorus 2]
Cause I feel the colour, I feel alive
I feel the colour, I feel alive
I feel the streets are now far from here
[Bridge]
Do you even hear me?
Do you even know my name?
Can you see the ocean there?
You don't have my number love

And I wonder can you hear me?
And are you even listening now?
[Chorus 4]
Cause you don’t have my number

You can’t steal my thunder
Cause you don’t have my lover’s touch

And I don’t need these city streets
The creed or the culture now

@MrRubinello

@goofed86

@VolimJaje
***** Haven't they formed the band in 2005 tho?
@NotDaveGahan
*****
1. Foals are not new. They turn 10 this year.
2. Foals are not unknown either. They're not the epitome of being mainstream, but they do enjoy moderate success. This video nearing 10 M views should give that away, shouldn't it?
@zachysnack
when people say they don't make music like they used to, they just don't know where to look
