Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Warrior Lyrics 15 years ago
"When it's missing and you want it more
It isn't right
Turning, turning out the door
And back to this
Leave it like it was before
And let me out
Must've been the end of the story"

I kind of see this as someone wanting out of a relationship.
How you miss things when they're gone sometimes and how it feels wrong and you should be over it. I see 'turning turning out the door and back to this' as someone leaving and you're back to single you. You're left as you were before the relationship. You've been 'freed'. I see 'Must've been the end of the story" as the other not really wanting it to end and just kind of going with it.

"Giving it all
Giving it all away
You're going to wake up someone
Study it all
The wings, they crowd your face
You're going to end up like one"

"Trouble at home
Travel away you say
The road don't like me
Travel away
Travel it all away
The road's going to end on me"

These verses I always have trouble with since I always feel differently about them. "Giving it all away" right now seems to me as the person who left cheating or being sneaky somehow. This leads to 'You're going to wake up someone' meaning someone, maybe the protagonist, finding out. Someone always does find out... So, she studies everything that might have led up to it and the evidence left. Now, 'The wings they crowd your face, you're going to end up like one' leaves me at a blank most times. I usually invision someone hiding behind some type of angelic nature. More recently I've been correlating wings with birds. Birds tend to just fly away whenever they please. So, if this is about a relationship, it may be about a guy who's a bit of a player.

"Trouble at home, Travel away you say" Seems like an excuse someone would use to just disappear and leave any problems behind. Maybe a significant other can't put up with what's expected of them. Say they are cheating and it's too much for them to handle, so they just pack up and leave. "The road don't like me" might be the 'relationship' road. "The road's going to end on me" sounds like she's going to change this line of bad luck, some way or another.


"Men, they like me
Because I'm a warrior
A warrior
Stand on my feet
Danced the warrior
The warrior
Where would I be?
I'd be a warrior
A warrior"

Whenever I hear this verse in the song, I feel as though I hear a purposeful amount of 'pain' in Karen O's voice. In thinking this, it's like she's pretending to be a 'warrior' so as to fool everyone. "Stand on my feet Danced the warrior... Where would I be? I'd be a warrior" As though if she didn't pretend, she'd be nothing. She's kept up this 'warrior' image that she's become one. Sometimes if we tell ourselves something enough times, we believe it.

Now the strangers have caught on
And they're riding in the back seat
The river's going to wash all
Yeah, the river, it spoke to me
It told me I'm small
And I swallowed it down
If I make it at all
I'll make you want me

"Now the strangers have caught on" could be everyone catching onto her act. They all accept her new attitude,though, so they're tagging along. "The river's going to wash all.." I see as her future's going to wash all of the bruises of the past away. But, river's (the future) is big and full of possibilities. Her singing " It told me I'm small, And I swallowed it down" sounds to me like her future challenging her, so she 'swallowed it down' and accepted the challenges. "If I make it at all, I'll make you want me" Seems like her challenging the one who left her.

"Trouble at home
Travel away, you say
The road don't like me
Travel it all
Travel it all away
The road's going to get all me

And I'm small
The road's going to get all me
If it gets it at all
The road's going to end all me"

These two verses I see as the same, except 'the road's going to get all me' Is that she's going to concur any demons and/or obstacles instead of let them pass by without a second glance.

"Like a warrior
A warrior
Danced the warrior
The warrior"

That's all I've got. I tried... haha

God, I love this song... Listening to it now :) His voice is so sexy, especially in this one. One should know that when an artist puts that kind of power behind their voice that this song means something. You have to be in a certain mood to keep it up. This song= sexual tension + woah
