- Dearth LyricsI could cut my hands off now,
Just to find the skeleton of me,
We could peel artichoke hearts and break our legs and dry
out
Maybe if we could just talk about the weather…
I have 300 bombs all in my head; I have 300 bombs all in
my head.
Saturday we could come home and cut the phone lines,
Saturday we could come home and cut the phone lines,
Saturday we could come home and cut the phone lines.
Just to find the skeleton of me,
We could peel artichoke hearts and break our legs and dry
out
Maybe if we could just talk about the weather…
I have 300 bombs all in my head; I have 300 bombs all in
Saturday we could come home and cut the phone lines,
Saturday we could come home and cut the phone lines,
Saturday we could come home and cut the phone lines.

When we try to understand the message behind it, the Foals' 'Dearth' song masterfully presents its message through the use of strong metaphors and imagery, portraying the willingness to give up on life entirely if nothing else would purify the soul, even to the point of self-mutilation. The recurrent idea of having bombs in the head represents the heavy burden of thoughts and feelings, while the cutting off of the phone lines on Saturday denotes the shunning of life’s hustle and bustle and the longing for peace. Dearth primarily communicates through lyrics reflecting angst, despair, heartbreak, anger, and contemplation. Simultaneously, the song talks about the conflict with inner demons, the longing for connection, and isolation as the main struggles of human life. There is a trace of self-harm and violence running through the lyrics which might not be appropriate for kids under 13. The cutting of hands imagery along with the explosions in the head references creates a scene baby requiring parent supervision that speaks of the darker side of human emotion and suffering.
