about

The Subject Line is about all those silly incidents that happen between people either at work or through Facebook or emails when people say things with much more gusto than they would if they were standing in front of your face. The song is about the silly games that people play, and how some people ignore you and have a problem with you even though they haven't had the guts to tell you why. I think this is a song many will empathise with.

lyrics

The Subject Line

Is it something I said?
Have you already filled the gaps and thought to mind your head?
Is it something I did?
Have you managed to keep the bees under your bonnet lid?

Cos lately, you’ve been acting ever so strangely,
Your levels are approaching their safety,
To question is a healthy sign…
It pains me, when you get a little bit crazy,
It’s hard to know the reasons you blame me,
The answer’s in the subject line…

Is it something you read?
Have I taken your words to mean that other thing you said?
Is it time to retreat?
Have I gotten the cotton wool from underneath your feet?

Cos lately, you’ve been acting ever so strangely,
Your levels are approaching their safety,
To question is a healthy sign…
It pains me, when you get a little bit crazy,
It’s hard to know the reasons you blame me,
The answer’s in the subject line…

I’m guessing from the subject line,
You’re not prepared to waste your time,
Watching for the traps, minding all the gaps,
Talking all the limelight…
(I’m) tracking all your double takes,
Despite a few of your mistakes,
(I'm) loving you the same, taking all the blame,
Lining up for goodness’ sake.

Is it right to delete?
Have you broken the family ties that fall from stronger trees?
I’m with the family I love,
I’m with the people I care about the most in all the world…
(So take your best shot!)

But lately, you’ve been acting ever so strangely,
Your levels are approaching their safety,
To question is a healthy sign…
It pains me, when you get a little bit crazy,
It’s hard to know the reasons you blame me,
The answer’s in the subject line…
