Snuff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some big surprise, but you'll hide it
Of course you don't want to believe it
Tell a little lie let it fade away
Walk into the same mistakes
Round in circles counting time regardless
It's just nonsense, is it any wonder
Or get a decent answer with 13 and a half percent extra
Cold comfort might suit you
One more hand extended
One more day deleted
You're dreaming
I'm sure you'll find a reason to do it all again
A pissed up navvie and a beaten up whore
A tramp trying to ponse enough just one more
The blossom comes out same time each year
Just counting time regardless
You're dreaming and it's getting easier
Some big surprise, but you'll hide it
Of course you don't want to believe it
Tell a little lie let it fade away
Walk into the same mistakes
Round in circles counting time regardless
The song "Cricklewood" by Snuff paints a picture of someone who is stuck in a cycle of making the same mistakes over and over again despite knowing deep down that they are not happy with the outcome. The lyrics talk about dreaming and the idea that the person's dreams are becoming easier because they have become so accustomed to the pain and disappointment that they no longer register it. There is a sense of resignation in these lyrics, as if the person has given up on the idea of things getting better and is just going through the motions.
The line "One more hand extended, one more day deleted" suggests that the person has reached out for help before, but nothing seems to change. The line "A pissed up navvie and a beaten up whore, a tramp trying to ponse enough just one more" paints a picture of a bleak and desperate existence. The repetition of the phrase "counting time regardless" emphasizes the futility of the person's actions.
Overall, the lyrics of "Cricklewood" are a commentary on the human condition and the tendency to get stuck in patterns that are ultimately self-destructive. The song encourages the listener to break free from these patterns and make a change in their life before it's too late.
Line by Line Meaning
You're dreaming and it's getting easier
Your fantasies are becoming more achievable
Some big surprise, but you'll hide it
Something unexpected will happen, but you will try to conceal it
Of course you don't want to believe it
Naturally, you refuse to accept the truth
Tell a little lie let it fade away
Fabricate a small falsehood to distract from reality
Walk into the same mistakes
Repeatedly make the same blunders
Round in circles counting time regardless
Continuously going through the same motions, regardless of time
It's just nonsense, is it any wonder
It's all absurd; should it be surprising?
You can't sweep it all aside, or hide it
You cannot ignore or conceal everything
Or get a decent answer with 13 and a half percent extra
You won't receive a satisfactory response, even with a little bit extra effort
Cold comfort might suit you
A little bit of relief might satisfy you
One more hand extended
One more offer of help
One more day deleted
One more day wasted or forgotten
You're dreaming
You're living in an illusory world
I'm sure you'll find a reason to do it all again
You will create a justification to repeat the same cycle
A pissed up navvie and a beaten up whore
A drunken laborer and a bruised prostitute
A tramp trying to ponse enough just one more
A homeless person begging for one more handout
The blossom comes out same time each year
Springtime flowers bloom routinely each year
Just counting time regardless
Simply moving through time, regardless of meaning or purpose
