The Smile Read the Room Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And when the time is right
And when the end has come
Maybe you can't, maybe you can't be arsed (Can't be arsed)
For half a million (For half a million)
That's your opinion
That's how your story goes
A magic rain-, a magic rainbow (A magic rainbow)
So big, it bends the light high, high
[Verse 2]
You know it takes away
It takes the fun out
Maybe I can't, maybe I can't be arsed
This crashing currency
These kind of phone calls (These kind of phone calls)
These candy aerosols
These massive e-, these massive egos
So big, they bend the light high, high
[Chorus]
Who knows what it wants from me?
This goes where it wants to be
Honey for the honey bee
But I am gonna count to three
Keep this shit away from me

Honestly?
Maybe you should read the room
What on earth?
Come on, honey, read the room
[Chorus]
Who knows what it wants from me?
This goes where it wants to be
Honey for the honey bee
But I am gonna count to three
Keep that shit away from me
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Outro]
Come on out
Come on out
We know
You're in there
We know
You're in there
Everybody thinks so
Everybody thinks so
Everybody thinks so
The Smile Read the Room Lyrics Meaning
The lyrics depict a contemplative moment about timing, the end, and a potential lack of interest. The mention of a magic rainbow suggests a surreal element, symbolizing significant and dazzling experiences.
Exploring themes of loss and indifference, the lyrics delve into the impact of certain actions on fun and enthusiasm. References to a crashing currency, phone calls, and massive egos paint a vivid picture of a complex and challenging environment.
The chorus raises questions about desires, destinations, and the complexities of interpersonal relationships. The metaphor of honey for the honey bee hints at sweetness amid uncertainty, and the countdown to three signals a decisive moment to distance oneself.
