Indie quartet Sorority Noise were formed in 2013 by singer/guitarist Cameron Boucher, who also fronts the New Hampshire-based screamo group Old Gray. Looking for an outlet for some alternate material, he enlisted Old Gray drummer Charlie Singer, along with Prawn bassist Ryan McKenna and second guitarist Adam Ackerman, to form Sorority Noise in Hartford, Connecticut. After a handful of early releases, including a cassette EP and digital single, Boucher and his bandmates delivered their debut LP, Forgettable, in early 2014. Fusing bits of emo and pop-punk with melodic indie rock, the band eventually caught the attention of respected East Coast indie Top Shelf Records. Released in June of 2015, Joy Departed, their follow-up album -- and debut for Top Shelf -- took a more diverse and introspective approach. It was followed by a national tour with Motion City Soundtrack.The year 2016 saw both the release of a new Sorority Noise EP, It Kindly Stopped for Me, and the reissue of their debut album, Forgettable, via Broken World Media. These served to set up the release of their deeply introspective third full-length, You're Not as _____ as You Think, this time arriving via Triple Crown Records in early 2017. A reimagined all-acoustic version of the album was released a year later under the title YNAAYT, further emphasizing the band's increasingly reflective tone. ~ Timothy Monger, Rovi

Sorority Noise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but you forgot to take it home,
so if you're leaving, let me know,
because you're the only home I have.
I'm taking all the book I own,
and putting them on a shelf.
So I can read to you each night,
I'm not saying that I'm right,
I only want to say good night.
I'm not perfect, that I'm sure,
I only want to be your cure.
In Sorority Noise's song "Queen Anne's Lace" the singer is expressing their love for someone and wanting them to stay. They have written a book of poems for this person, but they forgot to take it home. The singer sees this person as their home and they don't want them to leave, but if they have to, they want to know. The singer then takes all the books they own and puts them on a shelf so they can read to this person each night before they leave.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of their imperfections and knows that they're not always right, but they want to be there for this person, to be their cure. This could mean that the singer wants to be the one to help this person through their struggles and be there for them as they face their challenges.
Overall, "Queen Anne's Lace" is a beautiful song about love, wanting to be there for someone, and knowing that sometimes we aren't perfect, but we still want to be there for the people we care about.
