Vampire Weekend – Cousins Lyrics 16 years ago
I love this song! It's basically playing off the "anti-snob" theme that ran throughout their other album and is talking about how your genealogy is important in the upper class.

Vampire Weekend – I Think Ur a Contra Lyrics 16 years ago
Ezra Koenig: " But what's so interesting about the word contra--and why people make such a big deal of it as an album title--is that it means so many different things that are linked by the root of the word, which is 'against'. Contra might have all these deeper connotations but it's actually a neutral word. It implies conflict but doesn't imply which side is better."

This is what he said in his Pitchfork interview. I think this songs is just about a guy who has no idea what to think about his ex, so he's wavering between the negative & the positive.
