Discover the story of the song > Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino – Arctic Monkeys

The protagonist is describing a day at the Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino where he sees Jesus at the day spa and his mother getting her hair done. He reflects on his thoughts and questions, feeling like he always misses the mark. He then talks about his attraction to technological advances and shares a desire to be kissed under the moon. He wonders if people embrace their dark side and regret staying home, and if they spend a long time trying to figure themselves out. Throughout the lyrics, there is a recurring request to speak to "Mark" at the hotel.
