Struck Dumb
The Futureheads Lyrics

Misery
Refers to the feeling of sadness or despair

Is a little line
Suggests that sadness can be a small thing, like a line or dash on a page

Or a little dash
Similar to previous line, just using another example

It's a subtraction sign
Explains that sadness is like taking something away from yourself

Happiness
Refers to the feeling of joy or contentment

Is a little cross
Suggests that happiness can be represented by a small symbol, like a cross

So if you're feeling lost
If you're feeling unsure or directionless

Use it to add it up
Implores the listener to find and focus on the positive things in their life

For crying out loud
Expression of frustration or exasperation

Stop following your brow
Tells the listener to stop worrying or stressing so much

Start living in the clouds
Encourages the listener to dream big and think outside the box

Go and make your mother proud
Subtly suggests that the listener should strive to be the best version of themselves

All of us
Referring to all people

Are genius
Suggests that every person has some sort of unique skill or talent

There's more than enough
Indicates that there is plenty of opportunity or success to go around

To go between us
Reinforces the idea that people can work together and support each other

Everyday
Each day

You create
Emphasizes that individuals have the power to shape their own lives and experiences

Everything in every way
All aspects of life can be influenced by one's mindset and actions

Laziness
The inclination to avoid work or effort

Come on and play
Suggests that laziness can be seen as a form of amusement or distraction

With ignorance
Being unaware or uninformed

On a motorway
Highway or busy road, could symbolize the fast pace of life

The negativity is ruining your sleep
Negative thoughts or emotions are causing sleep disturbances

It makes you wanna cry on your pillow
Negative thoughts or emotions can make the listener feel sad and helpless

The negativity is controlling your dreams
Negative thoughts or emotions have infiltrated the listener's subconscious

So say, "hello there, something only I know
Encourages the listener to find their own unique perspective or solution to their problems

I'm struck dumb, but I give it a go"
Despite feeling uncertain or unsure, the listener is willing to try and overcome their negative mindset
