Loose Change
Royal Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another penny in my pocket again
No shame
Another heart-shaped locket
Choke chain
With 24 carats just to hock it again
There's nobody home, no there's nobody home
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold
Yeah, your money don't fold
Stuck stood still with your door banging
Shadow through your little hole
But there's nobody home, yeah there's nobody home
Teeth clean, nineteen, heart's queen lookin' on the guillotine
They'll get down on your floor, they'll get down on your floor
'Cause all that glitters is gold
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold
All that glitters is gold
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold
All that glitters is gold
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold
All that glitters is gold
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold
I wanna double my money
So don't act, don't act like there's nobody home
Yeah quit playin' God on your telephone
Hand it over all to me
About as funny as a broken bone
But there's nobody home, yeah there's nobody home
'Cause all that glitters is gold
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold
All that glitters is gold
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold
All that glitters is gold
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold
All that glitters is gold
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold
The theme of "Loose Change" by Royal Blood is money and power. The lyrics tell a story of someone who is obsessed with riches and willing to do whatever it takes to obtain them. The singer talks about having a pocket full of loose change, but not being ashamed of it. They also mention a heart-shaped locket and a 24 karat choke chain that they plan to sell for money.
The chorus of the song speaks to the idea that everything that glitters is not necessarily gold. In other words, just because something appears valuable or desirable does not mean that it actually is. The glitter is a metaphor for the allure of money and power. The verses continue with this theme, describing someone who is willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead, even if it means betraying others.
In the bridge, the singer calls on the person they're singing to (perhaps a lover or a business partner) to hand everything over to them. They want power and control, and they are not afraid to take it by force if necessary. By the end of the song, they acknowledge that their actions are not funny and that they are not achieving true happiness through their obsession with wealth.
Overall, "Loose Change" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of greed and the pursuit of power at any cost.

Small amount of money that is not worth a lot
Another penny in my pocket again
Another small amount of money added to what I already have
No shame
Not embarrassed about having very little money
Another heart-shaped locket
Another expensive piece of jewelry that is not really valuable
Choke chain
A symbol of being trapped by wealth and material possessions

Appearances can be deceiving; things that look valuable may not actually be worth much
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold
Something may appear valuable until it is actually sold, and the money made from it is not enough
Stuck stood still with your door banging
Unable to move forward or make progress despite having wealth
Shadow through your little hole

So don't act, don't act like there's nobody home
Don't pretend to be unaware of what is going on or what you have
Yeah quit playin' God on your telephone
Don't try to control everything, even via technology or wealth
Hand it over all to me
Desire to take control of someone else's wealth or material possessions
About as funny as a broken bone
Not amusing or enjoyable despite having wealth
But there's nobody home, yeah there's nobody home
A feeling of emptiness and loneliness despite having material possessions

Loose change,
Another penny in my pocket again,
No Shame,
Another heart shaped locket,
Choke chain
With 24 carats just to hock it again,
Like there's nobody home,
Yeah, there's nobody home.
Cause all that glitters is gold,
Till your glitter gets old,
Then your money don't fold.
Yeah, your money don't fold.
Stuck, stood still at your door, banging,
Shouting through your letter hole,
Like there's nobody home.
Yeah, there's nobody home.
Teeth clean, nineteen,
Ice queen licking on a guillotine,
Buckled down on your floor,
Buckled down on your floor.
Cause all that glitters is gold,
Till your glitter gets old,
Then your money don't fold.
Cause all that glitters is gold,
Till your glitter gets old,
Then your money don't fold.
All that glitters is gold,
Till your glitter gets old,
Then your money don't fold.
Cause all that glitters is gold,
Till your glitter gets old,
Then your money don't fold.
I wanna double my money,
So don't act, don't act like there's nobody home.
Yeah, quit playing god on your telephone.
I got love in my tummy,
About as funny as a broken bone...
Like there's nobody home,
Yeah, there's nobody home.
Cause all that glitters is gold,
Till your glitter gets old,
Then your money don't fold.
Cause all that glitters is gold,
Till your glitter gets old,
Then your money don't fold.
Cause all that glitters is gold,
Till your glitter gets old,
Then your money don't fold.
Cause all that glitters is gold,
Till your glitter gets old,
Then your money don't fold.

@ejl1000
When people say that all modern music sucks, just remember that occasionally something great sneaks through. I approve of this band.
@LegionLeaguer
the same people that generalize about modern music are just as bad as people that say all black people can't swim or love watermelon
@danwheeler02
people who say that only listen to the charts
@Brendini27
Saying that all modern music sucks is so beyond ridiculous. I'd even say rock and metal is the best it has been since about 1995.
