The Sound
phatt bloke and slim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Especially when I'm lonely
I need the noises of destruction
When there's nothing new
Oh nothing new, sound of breaking glass
I love the sound of breaking glass
I love the sound of its condition
Flying all around
Oh all around, sound of breaking glass
Nothing new, sound of breaking glass
Oh all around, sound of breaking glass
Nothin' new, sound of breakin' glass
Safe at last sound of breaking glass
I love the sound of breaking glass
Deep into the night
I love the work on it can do
Oh change of mind
Oh a change of mind
Sound of breaking glass
All around, sound of breaking glass
Nothing new, sound of breaking glass
Breaking glass, sound of breaking glass
Sound of breaking glass
Sound of breaking glass
Sound of breaking glass
Sound of breaking glass
Sound of breaking glass
Sound of breaking glass
The lyrics to "The Sound" by Phatt Bloke and Slim are open to interpretation, but they seem to express a longing for something new, even if that means destruction. The repeated line "I love the sound of breaking glass" reinforces this idea - the shattering of glass represents a release of frustration or a desire for change. The singer admits they need "the noises of destruction" and appreciate the "sound of its condition", meaning they find beauty in the chaos.
The lyrics suggest the singer is lonely and needs something to shake up their routine. They say they "love the work on it can do", which could mean that the aftermath of destruction brings about positive change. The final line, "safe at last sound of breaking glass" could mean that the singer has found comfort in the chaos and destruction, and that it has brought them a sense of safety and security.
