Flux Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If your right hand is causing you pain
Cut it off, cut it off
If your colours have started to run
Let them all run, run away from you
There is lightning in this room
Above our heads waiting to strike
I'm a thinker, not a talker
Put your faith, your faith in God
[Chorus]
We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more despair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of flux
[Verse 2]
I'd kill for an adventure
Just you and I in the Curzon Bar
Dancing until we knew
So all that we've learned disappeared
When you shouted at me
I saw my father in the second grade
Concerned and kind
Yet unable to reach me
If your right hand is causing you pain
Cut it off, cut it off
If your colours have started to run
Let them all run, run away from you
There is lightning in this room
Above our heads waiting to strike
I'm a thinker, not a talker
Put your faith, your faith in God
[Chorus]
We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more despair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of flux
[Verse 2]
I'd kill for an adventure
Just you and I in the Curzon Bar
Dancing until we knew
So all that we've learned disappeared
When you shouted at me
I saw my father in the second grade
Concerned and kind
Yet unable to reach me
[Chorus]
We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more despair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of flux
[Bridge]
State of flux, state of flux
State of flux, state of flux
We need to talk, we need to talk
We need to talk, we need to talk
[Chorus]
We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more despair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of flux
We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more despair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of flux
[Bridge]
State of flux, state of flux
State of flux, state of flux
We need to talk, we need to talk
We need to talk, we need to talk
[Chorus]
We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more despair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of flux
About
Genius Annotation
Originally released as a stand-alone single, but later included in the re-releases of A Weekend in the City and Intimacy, Flux is one of Bloc Party’s most popular songs. The title likely refers to the movement in and out of a relationship – possibly the same one over and over again.
This song marks a shift towards a more electronic style for the band which was expanded upon in their third LP “Intimacy”.
