*LYRIC* Hey man Hand me down down with the crooked back What's your father's name? Boy, you don't know where you're at Pick yourself up, you don't look so good Maybe you should lay down Taught me how to fall But you never told me I was supposed to stay down Stick and move Sharpen up the knife Keep it tight Stay between the lines Make your mark Take your own advice Don't be surprised when you trip and stumble I played the fool again My old unfaithful friend Stick and move Sharpen up the knife Don't be surprised if you can't stay between the lines Quicksand color blind in the hourglass All spun out 'cause you can't stop looking back Better stay still, don't you make a move What'd you hope to find here? Taught me how to fall But you never told me I was meant to die here Stick and move Sharpen up the knife Keep it tight Stay between the lines Make your mark Take your own advice Don't be surprised when you trip and stumble I played the fool again My old unfaithful friend Stick and move Sharpen up the knife Don't be surprised if you can't stay between the lines Endless shot rounds No smoking guns Fizzled and faded Now back on the run My sticks and stones Tokyo smoke I played the fool 'til I started to choke My public smile My double face Half in the light Half in the shade Need some fresh air No place tonight Guess I'll stay in and continue to fight Lost, trace of trail Spiderweb spun Pale white and blue Now I'm coming undone Play sticks and stones Three shades of black Two steps away And I can't get back
Usually I don't like listening to an album in full length, because I either don't like some of the songs, or I don't like how certain songs sound together. But this album is really solid. 💖
This is such a different sound and feel to other music. This particular song although very obscure/ambiguous in a lot of its meaning, resonates with me on a strangely emotional level. I’ve lived most of my life in a silent on and off depression. Anxiety and extreme insecurities to the point that I’ve entertained the idea that being dead is better because I’m just meaningless and a waste of space. I’ve never told anyone the whole truth and this song always helps me release everything, the outro gets me to tears sometimes man.
@@PotentialGrim I don't think you understand, but songs are also subjective. Tokyo smokes lyrics are vague but still kind of specific (if that makes sense?), Meaning that a person can intepret them as they wish to, for example, I resonate this song with someone whomst I trust betraying me and also with my depression and anxiety fluctuations, (for example, when it says 'you taught me how to fall, but you never told me I was supposed to stay down' just sums up how I feel one second, like I want to just erase myself from existance( sleeping, just to be unconscious) and then immediately being reminded of the fact I'm still alive and I'm actually here and feeling like this by waking up. I feel like I read way too much into this. FYI this doesn't entirely explain what I feel. There's just some things I can't explain. Sorry if I'm coming on too hard, i just really resonate and find piece with this song.
@@PotentialGrimThis song is about fighting with yourself. It is a about how him giving himself reasons to quit when he is low, then he snaps back and follows his rules for living and moving forward (the chorus) but it ends before the chorus. Saying he is two steps away but can't find it back... currently in a struggle waiting to get back to his self (the chorus). The inner battle of positivity and negativity. I'd say depression works as a related to it.
I live CTE their lyrics surprise me every time and I can say I love EVERY single one of their songs, their lyrics hit me so hard on a level that I can't express. They just are amazing, in an interview, Matthew said: "There are times in life where you worship the idea of love much more than maybe loving the person you should be loving".
i discovered you guys in february of 2018 and i don’t regret anything, you changed my life’s perspective, a friend and i waited over a year for a new album and it is finally here, I LOVE YOU!!!!
Cage the Elephant......................You guys nail it EVERY.SINGLE.TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >_> 50 years down the line if I'm still around and have grandkids......They will be listening to you guys.....:D
the whole social cues album is masterpiece! I listen it often and it gets better everytime I listen to it. This is easily the best album CTE released. Definitely going to save money to buy an LP and a T-shirt!
I've never been prouder. Been a fan of yours since just before your first album as Cage (hello perfect confusion) and you've been with me my whole life. Solid album!!!
cage the elephant is one of those bands that you're not embarrassed to promote because all of their albums so far have been SOLID.
@Bagel it's a matter of opinion I guess
I agree..I love all of their albums.
@Bagel You should give it another shot. It's great. I'm listening to James Brown by CTE right now. "some Sunny days are gonna come for you"
Also Drones in the Valley rocks
Yes but why would you be embarrassed for liking a band in the first place
2:38 I absolutely love the sound and lyrics of this breakdown
I swear to god!!!!!! I can't get over it
Powerful song outros hit me hard too
Cry baby has the best breakdown ever tho it’s so sexy! Cage is the best at outros
I play 2:38 to the end, a lot.
Something about this song soothes me and gives me an adrenaline rush at the same time. Can easily say it has become one of my favourite CTE songs.
A
Sorry to hear about your CTE
I feel the same.
Same with me its a strange feeling, but its addicting because its so new.
Also we have the same initials !
E.
I love how this band hasn't let time get the best of them and they still make amazing music!
To be fair they haven't been around that long.
@@PeppaJackable so I'm guessing 12 years is not a big deal for you and is just a short period of time
And the weezers
Derry Cabrera that is a sizable amount of time not a huge amount though

*LYRIC*
Hey man
Hand me down down with the crooked back
What's your father's name? Boy, you don't know where you're at
Pick yourself up, you don't look so good
Maybe you should lay down
Taught me how to fall
But you never told me I was supposed to stay down
Stick and move
Sharpen up the knife
Keep it tight
Stay between the lines
Make your mark
Take your own advice
Don't be surprised when you trip and stumble
I played the fool again
My old unfaithful friend
Stick and move
Sharpen up the knife
Don't be surprised if you can't stay between the lines
Quicksand color blind in the hourglass
All spun out 'cause you can't stop looking back
Better stay still, don't you make a move
What'd you hope to find here?
Taught me how to fall
But you never told me I was meant to die here
Stick and move
Sharpen up the knife
Keep it tight
Stay between the lines
Make your mark
Take your own advice
Don't be surprised when you trip and stumble
I played the fool again
My old unfaithful friend
Stick and move
Sharpen up the knife
Don't be surprised if you can't stay between the lines
Endless shot rounds
No smoking guns
Fizzled and faded
Now back on the run
My sticks and stones
Tokyo smoke
I played the fool 'til I started to choke
My public smile
My double face
Half in the light
Half in the shade
Need some fresh air
No place tonight
Guess I'll stay in and continue to fight
Lost, trace of trail
Spiderweb spun
Pale white and blue
Now I'm coming undone
Play sticks and stones
Three shades of black
Two steps away
And I can't get back
king
is it just me or is the last part just naming other songs???
HOLY FUCK @@skywhite4146
definitely my favorite in this album, along with house of glass.
this style is new, but still has that CTE amazing-ness.
mj yeah those two songs are the best

Cage The Elephant, I know you won't see this but thank you for your music! I appreciate it
From your profile picture and your comment, I can already tell that you have amazing taste in music
@@AnonymousAnonymous-qs7vh thank you brother!
Spinach Pineapple Gorillaz and Cage The Elephant? Same.

The ending didnt have to go so hard. its soul moving
Doesn't get much better than Cage the elephant
How does this song only have 1.1 millions views? I feel bad for the people that don’t know this master piece…
This song is insane live
The bass line is absolutely crazy
Yes!
That outro is legendary 🔥🔥
How did I totally skip this while listening to the album?!.. It's amazing.

this is honestly some of the most incredible music i've heard
Yet it barely has any streams on spotify compared to the rest of the album. Criminal.
Esta es la mejor banda.
Se tenía que decir y se dijo.
No sabes lo que dices... Tame Impala es mejor facilmente
si
Best song on social cues 💕
The whole album is great it's hard to choose❤❤❤❤
This and broken boy are my favourites
ok but like the entire album is so good and I cant pick favorites haha
@@LORDandslayer yep, but this one seems to have the catchiest chorus among others

I played the fool again, my old unfaithful friend 🎶
My friend introduced me to CTE a year ago and I’ve been hooked since
I saw it on my local radio station 99x
Was trying to find a song on Spotify. Found cigarette daydreams, and que domino effect.
THIS ALBUM FUCKING ROCKS
Ok I think this my fav
Right new fan btw
Someone could do a KILLER surf-rock cover of this song!
I've never felt so happy for having perfect hearing!!
That breakdown is so Tame Impala. I love it.
We need them to collab
Kevin exactly! I’ve been wanting that forever. Hopefully someday! That’d be so beautiful!
Good insight and I concur
Reminds me of Red Hot Chili Peppers more tbh like Californication era

Mi ex me mostró esta banda hace un tiempo atrás, antes de Social Cues.
Esto es una completa joya.
Al menos no todo hizo mal.
Lol, same, siempre digo "bueno CTE fue lo mejor que me pudo dejar mi ex"
se nota que tu ex tiene buen gusto, en muchas cosas

Love the outro so much. Wish the whole song was like it somehow, but that'd probably take away from it in the end.
My favorite song of the whole album!
Amo esta banda dios. Esta muy infravalorada merece más reconocimiento 😩 anyways yo estuve aquí antes d que se hicieran mas conocidos yei 26/03/21 :))
