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.✌️
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.
@@jomsht7116 its actually not, its about a girl reliving her "glory days" when she would have fun and go around having sex, but now that she's older, the spark is gone
sorryimjustsayin Yumi San Wich TRUE!! I'm in high school and yet this makes me feel like this is the best it'll ever be. It makes me feel yearning for something that hasn't happened yet. Are these my glory days, indeed?
When i was in high school my crush played this song on stage at a venue and i remember he had invited me to come watch him play. Back then it was such a big deal now its just a distant memory. God this brings back memories. haha
this song always makes me want to dance with someone, but I dunno how. XD ....but then you listen to the lyrics. and this is about this depressing middle aged woman who is deteriorating and misses the days when her life was wild and fresh and exciting? hm. i still wanna dance.
I mean, hey, the Arctic Monkeys are just the best. Crying Lightning, R U Mine, Love is a laserquest, Do I Wanna Know, Snap Out of it, One for the Road, Fluorescent Adolscent...these songs are perfect. Just makes me really happy. ♥
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.
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.
+William Adolph i really am from the future. and i googled this song when i got back to see if anyone had discovered time travel before me. looks like they did. we should meet up tomorrow, April 13th 2042.
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.
every generation is promised something, and then are let down and labeled a burnout or a lost generation. Everyone's fucked if you look at it that way. Just have fun and love yourself and your buddies and family.
everyone is saying this song makes them feel happy but to me it seems like it's about a girl who used to have sex with everyone and then was forced to stop.
It's more that she used to sleep around when she was young, but is older now, probably married (it mentions a nightdress - pajamas), and is remembering her glory days.
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. Or she may have discovered it not long ago because she's had better before that current guy, but I didn't think it was about a girl who's married and a lot older than what I expected
Please do not name your child "flourescent" They'd go through absolute hell growing up, no child should be named after a damn adjective. Arabella at least is a proper name.
i come back to this song every few months and remeber why this band is my favourite. this will always be my favourite song of theres as when i heard it for the first time i immediately learnt it on the drums and is still the best song i can play. it just always makes me feel the fun with music
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?
For me, this band is like "meh, good enough". Compared to other artists I've heard, they don't very much stand out. They have a knack for infectious hooks, but so does every other mainstream artist.
Been a fan since the Boardwalk demo BEFORE the debut album and I can honestly say that after all these years... THIS song right here is THE classic Arctic Monkeys track. Right up there with I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor.
I rembeber I listened to this in high school, i couldn't wait to get out of there and be free . Almost ten years have passed ...time flies. Let's enjoy the présent ✌
to me this song is about a woman who never had ‘glory days’ and never experienced being a young adult and is finding out that she can’t go back or party like she would have been able to
i think that we have regrets by no do what we want to do so i think that we have to live more , do things that we want , i think that we have to fell alive and we have a gift and THIS gifts calls life , só live more , love more , do crazy things and dont leave anyone let you down , just live . Bye
you know its a good song when it makes you feel completely depressed and joyful at the same time.
springfling yess
Face down on my bed with my headphones in.
I despise and adore this life all at once.
My face stings
Very very few songs make me feel the same as this one

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.
Holy shit it's the spongebob font
oh my god IT IS
It's the aquabats font, at least the title card

It's more that she used to sleep around when she was young, but is older now, probably married (it mentions a nightdress - pajamas), and is remembering her glory days.
isn't it good? she's not a bitch anymore, i don't see how this could be bad.
she used to be fun and free but now she is bored and constrained, she misses the fun she used to have and hates her marriage

Please do not name your child "flourescent"
They'd go through absolute hell growing up, no child should be named after a damn adjective. Arabella at least is a proper name.
Vi Gibbons yes I agree completelu
lol God please not flourescent
Choose Fluorescent. You could sing to her "You used to get it in your fishnets, now you only get it in your night dress."
You are a complete dumbass if you don't know which to pick, what kind of name is Fluorescent?
This litreally makes me feel nostalgic about the feelings I’ve never had and I’m just 15 but I love to listen old songs !!!❤️
this makes me yearn for something that never happened.
I love this song, I listen to it again and again.
one of the best songs ever made.
I love, love this song....but also it makes me sad :/
Your not alone :(
Makes me feel older than I am or like I'm growing up to fast

Dunno but I alwats cry when I hear this.
love this song smmmm
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

My sister was listening to some pop shit (Taylor Swift, Katy Perry) this morning, and I showed her this song and now she has a new favourite band :D
These guys sound different in every song and it's amazing. Compare this to anything on am or a something like The View From the Afternoon
this is also pop its just not total shit like the above mentioned.
saldunlop pretty sure this is like indie rock or something like that, but it's definitely not pop
For me, this band is like "meh, good enough". Compared to other artists I've heard, they don't very much stand out. They have a knack for infectious hooks, but so does every other mainstream artist.

Thanks so much for doing the lyrics I really needed to learn them fast, this really helped
