[Intro] [Verse 1] yeah we danced without our shoes but there’s glass around our feet and we’d walk around the town but we’re allergic to concrete we’d be stuffed to the gills But theres nothing here to eat no there’s nothing here to eat no there’s nothing here to eat [Interlude]     [Verse 2] oh we loved to rest our eyes but we hear the floorboards creak so we lie with one eye open and clutch knives between the sheets if there’s no rest for the wicked well we will never get no sleep we will never get no sleep no we’ll never get no sleep [Interlude]     ohh no [Chorus] We’re banging our heads against brick walls And the walls are hard and our heads are soft It’s a painful way to get attention It’s a painful way to get attention We’re banging our heads against brick walls And the walls are hard and our heads are soft It’s a painful way to get attention It’s a painful way to get attention We’re banging our heads against brick walls And the walls are hard and our heads are soft It’s a painful way to get attention It’s a painful way to get attention We’re banging our heads against brick walls And the walls are hard and our heads are soft It’s a painful way to get attention It’s a painful way to get attention We’re banging our heads against brick walls And the walls are hard and our heads are soft It’s a painful way to get attention It’s a painful way to get attention We’re banging our heads against brick walls And the walls are hard and our heads are soft It’s a painful way to get attention It’s a painful way to get attention We’re banging our heads against brick walls And the walls are hard and our heads are soft It’s a painful way to get attention G    N.C It’s a painful way to get attention now [Outro]

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un sentiment de frustration et d'impuissance face à un monde qui semble plein de obstacles. Il exprime une lutte, où deux personnes se débattent avec leurs désirs et leur besoin d’attention, mais se heurtent à des murs invisibles qui les enferment. Les images de blessures et d’inconfort symbolisent les défis qu'ils rencontrent, et reflètent une quête désespérée pour être vus et compris. Le contexte pourrait être celui de jeunes en quête d'identité, se sentant piégés dans une réalité qui ne leur convient pas. Leur insatisfaction est palpable, car ils tentent de se libérer de cette monotonie et de rechercher plus de sens et de connexions authentiques dans leur vie.
