Lyrics:
Hide me in the back room, tell me when it's over
Don't know if I can play this part much longer
I'll be in the back room, tell me when it's over
Don't know if I can play this part much longer
I don't know if it is right to live this way, yeah
I'll be in the back room, tell me when it's over
People always say, "Man, at least you're on the radio"

This song gives me a weird feeling of happiness and positivity, I think I'm obsessed with it (After seeing the few responses i just wanna say that's my own interpretation, feeling the songs gives me. I know about the meaning of it, and that's what they are talented for and why i love music, giving positivity in songs where lyrics aren't suiting the vibe of it. We probably all experience music in various ways but please respect the perception anyone can have about it ♥).

I'm addicted to this song. So catchy - I keep humming along and I feel like dancing. Pure joy though the lyrics show pain. The guitar riffs and bass are incredible, as are the melody and chorus. It's now probably my favourite Cage The Elephant song.

[@williamhanrahan9211]

"People always sayin' man at least you're on the radio." What a great line that's extremely relatable. One's music being played on the radio is a brilliant metaphor for how feelings of depression, despair, and other bad feelings can persist and drag anyone down, no matter how objectively well off or seemingly successful they are "on paper."

I think it's because Cage has always changed their sound with every album. It keeps things fresh and interesting and keeps me excited for what comes next, to be honest

To be honest this is way too similar to their old music. Its the complete opposite.. they still sound like back in 2013. You are acting like this is some kind of revolutionary sound being revealed to us. Its not.
