The 2nd song off of Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino is sung in a very melancholic tone.
The track describes how the dreams and ambitions people have as children are often interrupted abruptly as life continues, much like a conversation.
[Verse 1]
Dancing in my underpants
I'm gonna run for government

And I get to the bottom of it for good
By the time reality hits
The chimes of freedom fell to bits
The shining city on the fritz
They come out of the cracks, thirsty for blood (Stop)

It's worth it for the opening scene
I've been driving 'round listening to the score
Or maybe I just imagined it all
I've played to quiet rooms like this before
Bear with me, man, I lost my train of thought

The composition of these shots draws the viewer’s eye to a specific focal point within the frame, absorbing them into the dimension of the shot and manipulating the experience by tel...
