The Strokes – Automatic Stop Lyrics 15 years ago
These are very great interpretations!
But I think it's more about being pressured?

So many fish there in the sea
I wanted you, you wanted me
That's just a phase, it's got to pass
(Girl likes guy, guy likes girl and people are saying 'why not be together if you like each other?')

I was a train moving too fast
(They barely know each other so everything it going a little too fast)

Didn't understand what to see
Yeah, then I got a different view
It's you...no.
(He's starting to get to know her better and realizes 'Wow, what a bitch')

Wait, I'm gonna give it a break.
(He ends the relationship)

I'm not you friend,
I never was.
(Since they didn't really know each other well, they weren't really friends to begin with)

So many fish there in the sea
She wanted him, he wanted me
That's just a phase, it's got to pass
(I'm pretty sure this isn't about homosexuality. It's just a phase everyone says so why not be together. The 'it's got to pass' means something like it's getting overrated.)


Yeah, I know you warned me
But this is too important
(The friends warn him that he don't know her or that it's not worth it. But the boy thinks it's too important and is pressured into going out with the girl anyway)

So yea something like that... Sorry if it sounds confusing or something. Then again this can also be directed to a girl once you think about it. Sigh it reminds me of highschool lol
