Discomania
Haines Luke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They're having sex to 'The Kids In America'
This is the story of Discomania
Keep me up all night with your own private language
This is the story of Pepsi Cola addicts

Which one of us killed us?
Which one of us am I?
Which one of us killed us?
Which one of us am I?

It's all Discomania
It's all Discomania
It's all Discomania
I'm anti-everything

And it's all Discomania
We are the kids from the base
We're not the kids in America
Kim Wilde is sex

I'm Tallula Bankhead
Carrot cabbage winters
Is gonna die from stamp death
Which one of us killed us?

Which one of us am I?
Which one of us killed us?
Which one of us am I?
It's all Discomania

It's all Discomania
It's all Discomania
Totality for the kids
Totality for the government

I like people when they keep their mouth shut
I like them when they're silent
'Cause Kim Wilde is sex
I'm Tallula Bankhead

Carrot cabbage winters
Is gonna die from stamp death
Which one of us killed us?
Which one of us am I?

Which one of us killed us?
Which one of us am I?
Which one of us killed us?
Which one of us am I?

Which one of us killed us?
Which one of us am I?
It's all Discomania
It's all Discomania
It's all Discomania
It's all Discomania (It's all Discomania)
It's all Discomania (It's all Discomania)
It's all Discomania (It's all Discomania)




It's all Discomania (It's all Discomania)
(mania)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Haines Luke's song Discomania are cryptic and difficult to parse, but there are a few themes that emerge upon closer examination. The first verse paints a picture of sexual activity taking place to the soundtrack of "The Kids In America," possibly suggesting that the sex is happening in a nightclub or discotheque. The chorus repeats the titular phrase "It's all Discomania" multiple times, suggesting that the song is about an obsession or addiction to disco music and the culture surrounding it.


The second verse introduces the idea of different personas or identities, asking "Which one of us killed us?" and "Which one of us am I?" This suggests that the singer is struggling with their sense of self and their relationship to the culture of disco music. The mention of Kim Wilde and Tallula Bankhead adds to this sense of identity confusion, as they are both celebrities from very different eras and cultural contexts.


Overall, the lyrics to Discomania are open to interpretation, but it seems to be a meditation on the powerful allure and potentially destructive effects of disco music and culture. It also addresses themes of identity, sexuality, and addiction.

What does he sing at 1:11? It's not "Kim Wilde is sex" even though all the lyrics websites say otherwise. It sounds like "Kill Marc Ecko," but I don't think that's it as awesome as that sounds.
