| Interpol – The New Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think 'You're looking alright tonight// I think we should go' just means he wants to have sex with her. Like, he's been trying for something more meaningful for a long time, but now he's broken down. This girl doesn't want to give anything more than her body, he'll take what of her he can get. It fits in with the rest of the lyrics, too. That's how I see it anyway, but who knows what's going on in Paul Banks' head :P | |

Well, I guess the beauty in Interpol is that Paul Banks' lyrics are often so obtuse and abstract that we can really all take what we want from them. To generalise, they're meaningless, but most appreciators of Interpol store deep meaning in each song, every word. And, I'm sure Paul Banks was thinking of some very specific event, feeling, or person for each song that he wrote. For me 'It's up to me, now// Turn on the bright lights' means that the beauty in the city is there, but we just can't see it. It's up to us to 'turn on the bright lights', to illuminate the beauty and make it visible to our own eyes. I do hope I haven't overthought it. And I really haven't been able to figure out the rest of the lyrics. They make me feel, though :) |
