Love Is Noise

The lyrics connect modern city life with a repeating experience of emotional hurt. The speaker asks whether people can truly see the problems around them, then admits to having felt blind, insecure, and weighed down by a long road. The repeated refrain suggests that love brings pain and sadness that return again and again, rather than offering an easy escape.

“Feet in modern times” suggests ordinary people moving through contemporary life, while “soles made in China” points to the mass-produced things surrounding them. The “bright prosaic malls” and endless corridors make the city feel shiny but ordinary and repetitive. “Waiting for lightning to be saved” may express hoping for a sudden, powerful change, while “these blues” means sadness expressed through music.

The song leaves the link between personal love and wider social troubles open. Its questions about anger, addiction, and the world’s “affliction” may suggest that private pain exists alongside collective problems, or that the two are tangled together. The refrain could sound resigned, but singing the blues also gives the speaker a way to express what hurts. The lyrics do not offer a clear solution; they hold frustration, self-questioning, and the possibility of recognition together.
