Yeah, there's really no point in arguing.

Interpol – Slow Hands Lyrics 20 years ago
I can understand why some people dislike this song, as it made them more popular and less of a band that you can mention when you want to sound elite. Still a damn good song, though. The lyrics seem like they're just an arrangement of words that sound cool together, but don't add up to much. Not much analyzing here.

Interpol – Leif Erikson Lyrics 20 years ago
A song about how he wants to bang some chick without getting romantically involved doesn't make for a very good song.

"She swears I’m a slave to the details" -She thinks that he's idealistic and naive.

"She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid gloves" -When he tries to be affectionate and open she patronizes him and thinks he's weak for showing emotion.

"She swears I’m just prey to the female," -By showing emotion, he's being vulnerable.

etc.

As for the "lonely parts" line, I think he's trying to say that she should just give in to her emotions and not be so jaded and pessimistic.

I think it's about a self-conscious, insecure girl. He feels like he knows her, but she pulls away. Some pretty good interpretations on here, but also some really absurd ones too, I think.

Other way around. She's the one who doesn't want to get too involved.

I think it's about Paul pouring his heart out for some woman, and she, being jaded and unwilling to let herself go too far, rejects him. She thinks he's being idealistic and naive when it comes to relationships; he's making himself vulnerable by showing emotion.
