Liztomania
Pheonix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not sentimental, no
Romantic, not disgusting yet
Darling, I'm down and lonely
When with the fortunate only
I've been looking for something else
Do let, do let, do let, jugulate, do let, do
Distant from other interests
On your favorite weekend ending
This love's for gentlemen only
That's with the fortunate only
No, I gotta be someone else
These days it comes, it comes, it comes, it comes, it comes and goes
Lisztomania
Think less, but see it grow
Like a riot, like a riot, oh!
Not easily offended
Not hard to let it go
From a mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less, but see it grow
Like a riot, like a riot, oh!
Not easily offended
Not hard to let it go
From a mess to the masses
Follow, misguide, stand still
Disgust, discourage
On this precious weekend ending
This love's for gentlemen only
Wealthiest gentlemen only
And now that you're lonely
Do let, do let, do let, jugulate, do let, do
Let's go slowly, discouraged
We'll burn the pictures instead
When it's all over we can barely discuss
For one minute only
Not with the fortunate only
Thought it could have been something else
These days it comes, it comes, it comes, it comes, it comes and goes
Lisztomania
Think less, but see it grow
Like a riot, like a riot, oh!
Not easily offended
Not hard to let it go
From a mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less, but see it grow
Like a riot, like a riot, oh!
Not easily offended
Not hard to let it go
(Ooooh!) From a mess to the masses
Oooh, this is showtime, this is showtime, this is showtime
Oooh, this is showtime, this is showtime, this is showtime
Time... Time to show it off, time to show it off, it's time to show
Time... Time to show it off, time to show it off, it's time to show
From a mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less, but see it grow
Like a riot, like a riot, oh!
Discuss, discuss, discuss, discuss, discourage
The lyrics of Lisztomania by Phoenix talk about the complexities of love and relationships. The singer is lonely and searching for something more, but only finds temporary solace with the wealthy and fortunate crowd. The song is not sentimental or romantic - it is more about the struggle to find true love in a world filled with shallow connections and temporary pleasures. The repeated phrase "do let, do let, do let, jugulate, do let, do" suggests a feeling of suffocation and disappointment.
The chorus of the song - "Lisztomania, think less but see it grow, like a riot, like a riot, oh!" - is a reference to the composer Franz Liszt, who was a rockstar-like figure in his time. The lyrics suggest that the singer wants to embrace this chaotic, passionate energy of love and life, even if it means being part of a mess. The bridge of the song describes a moment of realization - that the singer's relationship is fleeting and will soon come to an end.
Overall, the lyrics of Lisztomania are a meditation on the ups and downs of love and connection, and the tensions between passion and stability.

The year this song came out , was my final year of getting higher than a kite .
I’ve been sober since Jan 1 2011 .
I feel like I’m winning .
Not won .
I feel like a survivor.
But each day can be a struggle .
When I die , and it was not drug related , that is the day I will say that I won and that I’m a survivor.
I have had close friends that can’t say the same .
Gone too soon .
