Angry Lizard Noise
Ignant Benches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While we did our thing
None of his business
But he couldnβ²t help but stare intently
Sure as hell was over
Wouldn't start again
I know youβ²re always certain of something
On the nights that we'd leave it alone
Not all filled with regret
I said I don't want a part in this
Although you do seem upset
Youβ²re coming back, no, back for more
You used to act so cold
I said to leave it, wonβ²t you leave it?
I wished I missed the talks
I wouldn't say I donβ²t
I would've called last night
But something told me it wasnβ²t right
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Is there something wrong?"
She said she cared about me last night
There she goes again
On the nights that we'd leave it alone
Not all filled with regret
I said I donβ²t want a part in this
Although you do seem upset
You're coming back, no, back for more
You used to act so cold
I said to leave it, won't you leave it?
There she goes again
On the nights that weβ²d leave it alone
Not all filled with regret
I said I donβ²t want a part in this
Although you do seem upset
You're coming back, no, back for more
You used to act so cold
I said to leave it, wonβ²t you leave it alone?
The lyrics of "Angry Lizard Noise" by Ignant Benches depict a situation where the singer is involved in something while someone else, referred to as "he," looks up at the clouds, seemingly disinterested yet unable to tear his eyes away. The singer acknowledges that whatever they were involved in is now over and won't start again. They also acknowledge that "he" seems upset, but the singer doesn't want any part in whatever is going on. The singer reflects on missing the conversations they used to have but also admits to not completely missing them. They mention a night when they considered calling, but something felt off about it. A question is asked, "What the hell are you doing? Is there something wrong?", and the person they are speaking to claims to have cared about the singer the previous night.
Overall, the lyrics portray a complex dynamic between two individuals. The singer is detached, not wanting to get involved, while the other person seems upset and possibly conflicted about their feelings for the singer. It explores themes of uncertainty, missed connections, and emotional distance.

He looked up at the clouds
He directed his gaze towards the sky
While we did our thing
While we were occupied with our own activities
None of his business
Not concerning or related to him
But he couldn't help but stare intently
However, he was unable to resist observing with great focus
Sure as hell was over
Definitely and unquestionably ended
Wouldn't start again
Will not begin anew
I know you're always certain of something
I am aware that you always possess unwavering certainty in something
There she goes again
Once more, she is behaving in that manner
On the nights that we'd leave it alone
During the evenings when we would refrain from involvement
Not all filled with regret
Not entirely consumed by feelings of remorse
I said I don't want a part in this
Expressed my lack of desire to be involved in this situation
Although you do seem upset
However, it is evident that you are distressed
You're coming back, no, back for more
You are returning for additional experiences
You used to act so cold
In the past, your behavior was characterized by indifference
I said to leave it, won't you leave it?
I requested that you abandon it, why won't you abandon it?
I wished I missed the talks
I desire to have regretted the conversations
I wouldn't say I don't
I would not deny it completely
I would've called last night
I would have made a phone call yesterday evening
But something told me it wasn't right
Yet, a feeling informed me that it was incorrect
"What the hell are you doing?"
"What is your purpose with your actions?"
"Is there something wrong?"
"Is an issue or problem present?"
She said she cared about me last night
She voiced her affection towards me yesterday evening
I said I don't want a part in this
I declared that I have no desire to be involved in this situation
Although you do seem upset
However, it is evident that you are distressed
You're coming back, no, back for more
You are returning for additional experiences
You used to act so cold
In the past, your behavior was characterized by indifference
I said to leave it, won't you leave it alone?
I requested that you abandon it, why won't you abandon it alone?
