Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Shed 7's song Speakeasy appear to be a reflection on a dysfunctional relationship where the two parties struggle to communicate effectively. The chorus asks if there will be another breakdown in communication, suggesting that this has been an ongoing issue. The line "when you speak is it easy" could imply that one party finds it difficult to express themselves or that the conversation is strained in some way. The next line "you're trying too hard to please me" suggests that both parties are aware of the issue and are making an effort to improve the situation, but without much success.


The next section of the lyrics shows that the two parties have a lot in common, as they both think and do the same things. This could suggest that there is some kind of shared experience or perhaps that they have been together for a long time. The line "don't break the habit of a lifetime" suggests that there is a pattern of behavior that they need to maintain, but the next line "you broke the habit of a lifetime" implies that something has changed, and this could be a cause of the breakdown in communication.


The second chorus suggests that the singers are still struggling to communicate effectively, and the line "you wouldn't speak for a million" suggests that one party is particularly resistant to opening up. The final line "I see through everything you do" could imply that one of the parties is being dishonest or insincere, and that this is exacerbating the communication breakdown.

Will there be another breakdown
Communication is a let down
When you speak is it easy
You're trying to hard to please me
I know what you think
I think the same things as you
And do the things that you do
Don't break the habit of a lifetime
You broke the habit of a lifetime
I see through everything you do
Will there ever be a right sound
Communication is a let down
You wouldn't speak for a million
Give me your honest opinion -
In your own words
I see through everything you do
I see through everything you do

They still are mate. Rick has still got it

@spiroskaravalakis9358

And still are . Up there with what I ve seen from Blur this summer at Wembley . Sheds can be pretty epic live too and Rick can jump into the front row for some massive singalongs with the crowd .
