Lyrics
Little black submarines
Operator, please
Put me back on the line
Told my girl I'd be back
Operator, please
This is wreckin' my mind

Oh, can it be?
The voices calling me
They get lost and out of time
I should've seen it glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind

Pick you up, let you down
When I wanna go
To a place I can hide
You know me, I had plans
But they just disappeared
To the back of my mind

Oh, can it be?
The voices calling me
They get lost and out of time
I should've seen it glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind

Treasure maps, fallen trees
Operator, please
Call me back when it's time
Stolen friends and disease
Operator, please
Patch me back to my mind

Oh, can it be?
The voices calling me
They get lost and out of time
I should've seen it glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind

Little Black Submarines Meanings & Lyrics Discussion
Badfishrmg discusses the meanings of Little Black Submarines lyrics: The first part reminds me a little of Dust in the Wind and the second part reminds me of Mary Jane's Last Dance. Not knocking the Black Keys or El Camino, but a lot of the album sounds ripped from the 70s/80s. Then again, what would the kids today know about those decades other than disco/hairmetal so it's new to them. Anyway, it's a good song, I think that little black submarines are a metaphor for the things in life that get us off track and can ultimately destroy us. Things that we either don't see coming or lying in wait beneath the surface(ie: submarine can mean to sink from under the surface).
