- Modern Man LyricsSo I wait my turn, I'm a modern man
And the people behind me they can't understand
Makes me feel like....
Makes me feel like....
So I wait my turn, I'm a modern man
And the people behind me they can't understand
Makes me feel like....
Something don't feel right
Like a record that's skipping, I'm a modern man
And the clock keeps ticking, I'm a modern man
Makes me feel like....
Makes me feel like....
In my dream I was almost there then they pulled me aside and said you're going nowhere
They say we are the chosen few but we waste it
And that's why we're still waiting
On a number from the modern man
Maybe when you're older you will understand why you don't feel right
Why you can't sleep at night no
In line for a number but you don't understand like a modern man
In line for a number but you don't understand like a modern man
Oh, I had a dream, I was dreaming and I feel I'm losing the feeling
Makes me feel like.....
Like something don't feel right
I erase the number of the modern man
Wanna break the mirror of the modern man
Makes me feel like.....
Makes me feel like.....
In my dream I was almost there then they pulled me aside and said you're going nowhere
I know we are the chosen few but we waste it
And that's why we're still waiting
In line for a number but you don't understand like a modern man
In line for a number but you don't understand like a modern man
If it's alright then how come you can't sleep at night
In line for a number but you don't understand like a modern man
I'm a modern man
I'm a modern man
I'm a modern man
I'm a modern man
And the people behind me they can't understand
Makes me feel like....
Makes me feel like....
So I wait my turn, I'm a modern man
And the people behind me they can't understand
Makes me feel like....
Something don't feel right
Like a record that's skipping, I'm a modern man
And the clock keeps ticking, I'm a modern man
Makes me feel like....
Makes me feel like....
In my dream I was almost there then they pulled me aside and said you're going nowhere
They say we are the chosen few but we waste it
And that's why we're still waiting
On a number from the modern man
Maybe when you're older you will understand why you don't feel right
Why you can't sleep at night no
In line for a number but you don't understand like a modern man
In line for a number but you don't understand like a modern man
Makes me feel like.....
Like something don't feel right
I erase the number of the modern man
Wanna break the mirror of the modern man
Makes me feel like.....
Makes me feel like.....
In my dream I was almost there then they pulled me aside and said you're going nowhere
I know we are the chosen few but we waste it
And that's why we're still waiting
In line for a number but you don't understand like a modern man
In line for a number but you don't understand like a modern man
If it's alright then how come you can't sleep at night
In line for a number but you don't understand like a modern man
I'm a modern man
I'm a modern man
I'm a modern man
I'm a modern man

✔️
When we reflect on what the artist might have meant, Arcade Fire's 'Modern Man' is a composition that mirrors the sentiment of being trapped in a current-day world where all one does and dreams of go unnoticed and are even rendered unworthy. The text of the song quite plainly states the feeling of being let down and irritated which is expressed through the keeping of the wait for a digit that is indicative of being part of a crowd and not being able to enjoy life to the fullest even if you are one of the 'elite'. The Modern man lyrics speak mostly of angst, contemplation, socio-political critique, rue and despair. Nevertheless, the song simultaneously highlights the struggle for existence, lack of communication and understanding, and the hardness of dreams and aspirations. The lyrics depict themes of existential contemplation and the feeling of one being cut off from the rest, which, though not directly speaking to, are not quite suitable for the very young audience. But, on the other hand, there is no strong language, violence, or sex-related themes that could make it unfit for older kids under the supervision of a parent.
