Lucy Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In front of the TV
So I forget
What i'm thinking
And oh don't you wanna know
Is it any easier
Oh don't you wanna know
Is it fun to close your eyes
Turning something inside out
We're driving from the backseat
Holding on too tightly
Were going round and round and up and and down
Turning something inside out
Were driving from the backseat
Holding on too tightly
The colours they merge the scream and shout
I watch my mind
Try and work things out
I think it's clear
But three days later its wrong
And oh don't you wanna know
Is it any easier
Oh don't you wanna know
Is it fun to close your eyes
We're going round and round and up and and down
Turning something inside out
We're driving from the backseat
Holding on too tightly
We're going round and round and up and and down
Turning something inside out
We're driving from the backseat
Holding on too tightly
The colours they merge they scream and shout
Listen up, listen hear everybody scream out loud
Listen up, listen hear everybody scream out loud
Listen up, listen hear everybody scream out loud
Listen up, listen hear everybody scream out
We're going round and round and up and down
Turning something inside out
We're driving from the backseat
Holding on too tightly
Were going round and round and up and and down
Turning something inside out
We're driving from the backseat
Holding on too tightly
The colours they merge they scream and shout
The lyrics of Lucy Rose's "Bikes" delve into a state of mind that is riddled with confusion and uncertainty. The opening line "I fall asleep in front of the TV" suggests a state of complacency, where the singer is rejecting their own thoughts and emotions by numbing themselves with television. They admit to forgetting their thoughts in this state, potentially avoiding their own anxieties and problems.
The repetition of the question "Is it any easier" suggests a yearning for something simpler or an easier way of being. The mention of closing one's eyes and going round and round and up and down suggests a state of chaos, feeling out of control and unsure of where things are headed. The repeated phrase "Turning something inside out" suggests a sense of unraveling, where the singer is trying to make sense of their own thoughts, but they keep getting tangled.

I fall asleep
I relax and lose consciousness
In front of the TV
While watching television
So I forget
I lose track of my thoughts
What I'm thinking
My current state of mind
And oh don't you wanna know
Don't you wonder
Is it any easier
Is it less complicated
Oh don't you wanna know
Don't you wonder
Is it fun to close your eyes
Is it enjoyable to disengage
We're going round and round and up and and down
We are in constant motion
Turning something inside out
Inverting something
We're driving from the backseat
We are not in control
Holding on too tightly
Firmly grasping
The colours they merge the scream and shout
The sensations fuse and amplify
I watch my mind
I observe my thoughts
Try and work things out
Attempt to solve problems
I think it's clear
I believe I understand
But three days later its wrong
My understanding changes
Listen up, listen hear everybody scream out loud
Pay attention to the collective noise

Love this video and how she's holding herself not to laugh at every "angry face" scene.
