Arctic Monkeys - old yellow bricks

노래는 주인공이 사랑의 복잡함과 정체성의 교착 상태를 표현하며, 무기력한 도시에서 벗어나고자 하는 마음을 드러낸다
사랑의 위험을 감수하면서 정체성을 찾으려 하지만, 과거의 향수와 현재의 불만으로 괴로워한다
궁극적으로 그런 도시에서의 삶에 대한 회의와 갈망을 담고 있다

Old yellow bricks, love's a risk
Quite the little escapologist
Looked so miffed when you wished
For a thousand places better than this
You are the fugitive but you don't know what you're running from
You can't kid us and you couldn't trick anyone
Houdini, love, you don't know what you're running away from
Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?
Blinded by nostalgia
Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?
She was enraged by the way
That the emperors were trapped in the cage
And the days she deemed dull
Leading to nights reading beer bottles
You're such a fugitive but you don't know what you're running from
You can't kid us and you couldn't trick anyone
Houdini, love, you don't know what you're running away from
Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?
Blinded by nostalgia
Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?
