Thirteen Senses have four studio albums: The Invitation (27 September 2004), Contact (2 April 2007) , Crystal Sounds (21 February 2011) and A Strange Encounter (5 May 2014).
In terms of their style and sound, Thirteen Senses are quite similar to other British bands like Keane and Coldplay; but take on a wider range of influences, including Mew, Mercury Rev and a minimalist aesthetic, with their lyrics also visiting darker themes.
Do No Wrong
Thirteen Senses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Traffic lights control us
Rockets shoot us up into the stars
Rockets shoot us up into the stars
Letters keep us posted
Numbers calculated
Nothing picks us up when we are down
Complement the atmosphere
Fill the ground with all our tears
Dry them up to make it clear
We do no wrong
Complement the atmosphere
Fill the ground with all our tears
Dry them up to make it clear
We do no wrong
Strange surrounds each corner
Stains pollute the water
Something for us all to think about
Something for us all to think about
Summer sun protects us
Winter rains torment us
Now it seems to me we can't be free
Now it seems to me we can't be free
Close the door before it's late
We were born to love and hate
Turn it down for our own sake
We do no wrong
You fill your ears with every note
Direction seems the only hope
Its crowded, let's create now
We do no wrong
Common sense protects us
Everything affects us
To the outside light it's paradise
To the outside light it's paradise
In the song "Do No Wrong" by Thirteen Senses, the lyrics seem to reflect on the ways in which humans are confined and controlled by systems and forces beyond their control. There is a sense of detachment and resignation in the repeated lines "rockets shoot us up into the stars" and "nothing picks us up when we are down". The imagery of satellites and traffic lights further emphasizes a feeling of being controlled and watched.
However, the song also has a sense of defiance in it, as if to say that despite the forces that control us, we are still capable of creating and expressing ourselves. This is captured in the repeated lines "complement the atmosphere, fill the ground with all our tears, dry them up to make it clear, we do no wrong". The idea of tears being used to "complement the atmosphere" suggests that even our pain and sadness can be transformed into something beautiful and meaningful.
