The Clash - Lost in the Supermarket (Official Audio)

God, what an amazing song. It captures so many ideas and emotions within: the vapidity of modern society, and the alienation and isolation it causes, issues with depression and social anxiety that arise out of said alienation, the works. Truly, this is an all-time classic.

[@funky_monke991]

That’s the beauty of the clash they sing about deep themes in an almost happy manor so if you don’t listen closely to the lyrics you’d think it was a happy song. This is why I love Spanish bombs it sounds like a happy song until you actually listen to what the lyrics are saying

The uncertainty of this song reminds me of what it's like living with social anxiety and depression.

[@lexluger1095]

And shopping addiction

[@lorenzopacchia9189]

why it reminds you that? it's not about it

[@tatianawilliams]

@@lorenzopacchia9189 I think that's a legit interpretation. Crazy consumerism in our societies surely is a good friend of depression. You don't matter as a person because the point of the world you live in is to make money and buy things. At first you think you're happy because you have material things, but then you begin to understand that life is more than that and that you can't buy happiness/serenity with money. After that epiphany, it's easy to fall in a state of chronic depression, which is due to our without-morals and capitalistic society.

This might be one of the most ahead of its time songs ever. Everything from the drums and vocals to even the guitar tone is so modern sounding that if they released it as a modern indie song today, it would still sound fresh, and is still lyrically relevant. It’s a shame this song never got the same mainstream appeal as some of their other big radio hits because this track is incredible.

[@kennyslg8914]

[Chorus] I'm all lost in the supermarket I can no longer shop happily I came in here for that special offer A guaranteed personality I wasn't born so much as I fell out Nobody seemed to notice me We had a hedge back home in the suburbs Over which I never could see I heard the people who lived on the ceiling Scream and fight most scarily Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling That's how it's been all around me [Chorus] I'm all tuned in, I see all the programmes I save coupons from packets of tea I've got my giant hit discoteque album I empty a bottle and I feel a bit free The kids in the halls and the pipes in the walls Make me noises for company Long distance callers make long distance calls And the silence makes me lonely [Chorus] And it's not here It disappeared I'm all lost
