“Social Cues” weighs the anxieties that accompany success as a rockstar – a well-tread theme in rock/music history (e.g. Pink Floyd’s The Wall). The “back room” of the chorus likely refers to the back room of the concert venue. Matt Shultz seems to acknowledge the performative aspects of Cage the Elephant shows – which are renowned for their energy – and the different shades of his identity, composed of both the public persona of the rockstar and the private, interior life that isn’t on display to the world. See, for example, the lyrics of “Tokyo Smoke,” the album’s penultimate track:
"I played the fool ‘til I started to choke
My public smile
My double face
Half in the light
Half in the shade" Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
