Discover the story of the song > One Point Perspective – Arctic Monkeys

The lyrics describe the protagonist's thoughts and experiences. He talks about dancing in his underpants and having ambitions to run for government and form a covers band. He mentions a conversation with someone who urged him to talk, but he lost his train of thought. He fantasizes about quitting and swimming with economists to understand things better. He feels like reality is falling apart and people are thirsty for blood. He mentions a documentary that no one else saw and driving around listening to its score. He wonders if he imagined it all and asks his friend to bear with him because he lost his train of thought.
