Luddite
Naked Cameo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It would be nice but it wrinkles my forehead
Call me insane but I try
To make a point of what I actually wanna forget
All at once my life falls apart, but I say
That's a lot on my mind
The world is noisy sometimes, but forget about it
We′re alive, we're alive, we're alive, we′re alive!
Make me black out it′s for the best for a while
Yeah, it might be useful but don't tell me to smile
I′m second-guessing since told I was fine
Now just turn the lights off I'll become
A luddite, a luddite
A luddite, a luddite
A luddite, a luddite
It′s just that way, am I right?
The strangest things seem to make a lot of sense now
They told me as a child
Barefoot on grass would soon be walking on the concrete
All at once my life falls apart, but I say
Let's not reconcile
There′s no amusement when the whole world sounds like it was
In a fight, in a fight, in a fight, in a fight
Make me black out it's for the best for a while
Yeah, it might be useful but don't tell me to smile
I′m second-guessing since told I was fine
Now just turn the lights off I′ll become
A luddite, a luddite
A luddite, a luddite
Hit me once or twice, I've been hoping for it
And I′d wonder again
Hang me once or twice, I've been hoping for it
Or you leave me in
Make me black out it′s for the best for a while
Yeah, it might be useful but don't tell me to smile
I′m second-guessing since told I was fine
Now just turn the lights off I'll become
A luddite, a luddite
Make me black out it's for the best for a while
Yeah, it might be useful but don′t tell me to smile
I′m second-guessing since told I was fine
Now just turn the lights off I'll become
A luddite, a luddite
A luddite, a luddite
A luddite, a luddite
A luddite, a luddite
A luddite, a luddite
The lyrics of Naked Cameo's song "Luddite" encapsulate the desire to disconnect from the technological world and embrace a simpler way of being. The singer expresses frustration with the constant noise and chaos of modern life, wanting to black out and become a luddite. The chorus repeats the word "luddite," emphasizing the desire to abandon technological advancements and revert to a simpler way of life.
The first verse acknowledges the difficulty of expressing negative feelings in a positive way, acknowledging the temptation to complain all the time. However, the singer resists this instinct, recognizing that it only brings wrinkles and negative energy. The second verse expands on this theme by referencing the pressure to appear happy and fine, even when feeling uncertain or anxious. The singer rejects this pressure, preferring to disconnect entirely rather than pretend everything is okay.
The chorus urges listeners to embrace the luddite lifestyle, encouraging them to turn off the noise and forget about the fight. The bridge briefly romanticizes the pain of being hurt, expressing a desire to be hit or hung rather than be left unsure.
Overall, "Luddite" is a plea for simplicity and disconnection in an increasingly connected world. The lyrics suggest that sometimes the most productive course of action is to black out and disconnect entirely, returning to a time before technology dominated our lives.
