Arctic Monkeys - Fluorescent Adolescent Lyrics

[@springfling2673]

you know its a good song when it makes you feel completely depressed and joyful at the same time.

Face down on my bed with my headphones in. I despise and adore this life all at once. My face stings

[@lexaproqueen9681]

Ikr! My eyes well up whenever I hear this song but I can never tell if it’s from joy or sorrow. I guess it’s probably a bit of both, like you said.

[@josguzz1985]

Just in case you don’t know the meaning behind the lyrics... “Fluorescent Adolescent” is a ballad about getting older and finding out that life isn’t as fun anymore. It describes a woman who dreams of her youth while her current life is unsatisfying and boring, with emphasis on her sex life. Got it from genius.✌️

[@LuzMaria95]

Jos Guzz I knew that from the lyrics and for some reason it makes me sad and nostalgic 😰

[@Astarte49]

My favorite lyric is “everything’s in order in a black hole.” Because it describes an indescribable feeling, nothing’s necessarily wrong, but life’s boring, expected, and essentially meaningless regardless.

Once I was coming back from a weekend in the city with my friends. It was crazy; we drank all night, we did all sorts of things. Like reckless teenagers. I just rembeber while we were driving back home, we were passing through the mountains and my friend started playing this song on a speaker. The sunset had made the sky pink, the clouds looked beautiful. I couldn't resist to feel nostalgic in such an environment.

[@macohara2615]

I can't say that their new stuff is bad, but Do I Wanna Know and stuff like that are just kinda boring. You know? They're good songs, but nothing exciting happens. Like in this song you have Alex singing insanely fast. It's exciting, however why'd you only call me when you're high is just boring, sort of mumbling words. It's still a good song though.

You used to get it in your fishnets Now you only get it in your night dress Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness Landed in a very common crisis Everything's in order in a black hole Nothing seems as pretty as the past though That Bloody Mary's lacking in Tabasco Remember when you used to be a rascal? Oh, the boy's a slag, the best you ever had The best you ever had is just a memory and those dreams Not as daft as they seem, not as daft as they seem My love, when you dream them up Flicking through a little book of sex tips Remember when the boys were all electric? Now when she's told she's gonna get it I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget it Clinging to not getting sentimental Said she wasn't going but she went still Likes her gentlemen not to be gentle Was it a Mecca dauber or a betting pencil? Oh, the boy's a slag, the best you ever had The best you ever had is just a memory and those dreams Weren't daft as they seem, not as daft as they seem My love, when you dream them up oh, Flo Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go? You're falling about You took a left off Last Laugh Lane Just sounding it out But you're not coming back again You're falling about You took a left off Last Laugh Lane You were just sounding it out But you're not coming back again You used to get it in your fishnets (Falling about) Now you only get it in your night dress Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness (You took a left off Last Laugh Lane) Landed in a very common crisis Everything's in order in a black hole Nothing seems as pretty as the past though (You were just sounding it out) (You're not coming back again) That Bloody Mary's lacking in Tabasco Remember when you used to be a rascal?

Damn, i remember when i was 16 and i was so worried because i had kissed a guy, and i was also struggling with anorexia/bulimia, and other mental problems in my family. I would get into my balcony with my mp3 and listen to this song with my eyes closed, thinking about all the things that were awaiting for me. It is so sad to think my generation was promised so many things that never ended up happening. I was so messed up, but so happy that somehow someday i could escape my tragic fate. I am close to 25 now, still living at my parent's, hopefully not for long.

lmao I thought it was about a girl who discovered sex because when he says "used to get it in your fishnets, now you get it in your night dress", I thought it was crabs, something you only get through sex.
