Okay, try number 2: After listening to this song recently, I now think I have a clearer meaning on what the line, "Catch up on your sleep, girl, when you wear that body glove" means. What I posted above was definitely way off the mark, and I wish I could edit or delete that comment.....anyway, I now think they are just saying 'girl, you can catch up on your sleep when you are dead', hence the 'body glove', or body bag. Hope this makes a bit more sense! |

I too think this song is about jealousy. Now this is a little abstract, but I feel that this song is about Paul finding out that his girlfriend has been cheating on him. Maybe he was suspicious of her for a while, and finally caught her coming home late one night from being with her other lover, receiving confirmation that his suspicions are true. I feel this song is about their confrontation with one another, and these lyrics are Paul basically saying 'tell me who he is, does he really want to be with you and does he really want to get know you, or is he just using you for sex?' 'Tell me you're mine, tell me you're mine, to break the ice' -Tell me my suspicions aren't true. Just tell me you love me and want to be with me still, anything to just get rid of this awkward silence. 'Does he make you smile, Does he fully embrace the way ,Does he lead you to the fight, That you like, Who is this guy' -Does he make you happy? Love you for who you are? (like I do) Do you guys have good sex? Just tell me who he is. Give me a name. 'This twee neophyte ,Does he know that I'll wait, for all time, Does he make you right' -I'll wait for this to pass. I will wait for you. Does he complete you? 'Does he say that he'd like to know you, Does he say that he wants to know, All of the ways, You will make it up, Make it up for me' -Does he tell you that he wants to get to know you better? Does he tell you he wants to know everything you'll do to me when you get home (sexually) to make this up to me? (this meaning her and her lover sleeping together) 'Tell me you're fine, Tell me it's hard to fake it time after time, Who is this guy' -Are you okay? Was it hard faking this relationship with me, time after time, when you are sleeping with another man behind my back? Why won't you tell me who he is? 'Does he say that he'd like to know you, Does he say that he wants to know, All of the ways, You will make it up, Make it up for me' -Doe he really want to get to know you? Does he want to you show/tell him how you are going to make this up to me? 'I know the way you will make it up, make it up for me' -I know how you can make this up to me' End scene. And posted above you have, "Does he leave you in flames, that you like" and I am pretty sure the correct lyrics are "Does he lead you to the fight, that you like" |

To me, Interpol just EXUDES sex, and 'specialist' is a prime example. This song is not only my favorite song by Interpol, but my favorite song ever. I love it's dark, sexy, raw vibe with the sick bass and guitar licks. Hawt. I personally do not believe this song has ANYTHING to do with murder or drugs like previous people have mentioned. I believe that this song is about an older, of age man in a relationship with an underage girl. From the beginning of the song you can tell that the relationship is all about sex. (You make me loose my buttons) When he says 'colder than yourself' I think he is referring to how he doesn't like her that much as a person, (at least not at first) and thinks she is emotionless. 'Now we're moving, now we're taking control' But he loves the sex, so they move right along. 'My love's a laboratory, I set all my pet's free, so baby, you should sleep with me' -No strings attached sex 'I make trips to the bathroom' -Maybe that is where he is meeting her? 'Yeah, my friends all have true grit' -His 'friends' are very persistent, for whatever reason...I'm not really sure... 'I am speckled like a leopard' -I always took this sentence literally because Paul Bank's face is, in fact, speckled with large freckles 'Put a lid on Shirley Temple, yeah you make sleek kills, yeah you travel, you travel' -Stop the whole 'act' of being cute and innocent, you know what you are doing, you've been around the block Then Paul goes on to say, 'I love the way you put me in the big house' -Since he is of age and she is underage, it is illegal and that is thrilling to him. He loves how when he is with her there is a certain danger surrounding the both. Then further down, 'And speak, when you're spoken of' -She is younger, and he sometimes looks down on her for that 'Catch up on your sleep, girl, when you wear that body glove' -I take this to mean, and this may be waaaay off, but I'm just throwing it out there, that he wants her to finally get some rest at night while she can, when its that time of the month for her. 'You're acting on initiative, you're spelling out your love, you shouldn't be alone in there, you could be above ground' -Your declaring your love to me on your own accord, and instead of being all alone right now, you could be here with me, and we could be together Then he goes on to reference crime 'oh this time, there'll be no life of crime' again, referencing her being underage and the danger that surrounds it. "Circle all around me now, baby, it will be okay. Cause we all go downtown sometimes. Somehow, baby, we will beat this mess, it's the time, fuck the surface, to meet the specialist' -He is saying that 'this is okay'. It may be wrong in some people's eyes, and may even be considered illegal, but everyone does something (for lack of a better word) bad, somtimes. So screw all the people that think our relationship is wrong, and just be with me, because I know what I am doing 'Time away form me will get you down' -You don't like it when we are not together Then later on he continues, 'Honey bee, we should be through with this, your packaged eyes, your vicious lips' -They shouldn't be in this relationship as long as they have, but he likes her so much now that he just can't get away. The sex is too good. 'You could be young, but you're out of touch, if this love's been done, then what's your rush' -Your young, but you don't act it, you are out of touch with your youth, your innocence. If this love is over, then what is your rush to move on? 'I'm the specialist in hope, and I'm registered to vote, won't you come into my barrio, we'll see if you can float' -I've been around, I am an expert on sex, and I am older than you, so come with me and we'll see if you can keep up. This song is interpol at their finest. Period. |

| I don't know if what I posted above makes any sense to anyone other than myself, but I was trying to get across that because of greed, he is resorting to some sort of life of crime to make his own life better. Let me know how off I am ! lol | |

So this is my interpretation of the song : it is about GREED. Dreams of long life, what safety can you find -If you want to live a long, fulfilled, happy life, you need to find "safety", and security means money. See the great unknown, that's shade for miles - In order to see the world and live, really live, you have a lot of work to do and a long way to go. (need lots of money) Good eye -I found out how to do the things we want to do (get money and live the good life) Good Guy -I'm a good guy, even though what I am dong is wrong, I have good intentions (to make our life better) " " If the sea was that strong, maybe we had, maybe we had to fly -If things really were as rough as we thought they were, then maybe we really didn't have a choice and just had to do what we had to do Was a good try, I'm a good guy -It was a good try, and I had good intentions so I'm a good guy. I have succeeded, I won't compete for long -I've won for now, we got what we wanted (money) but it won't last forever I'm not supposed to show you -I can't tell you how I got the money I've got 2 secrets, but I only told you one - I am only partially truthful to you, and I can't tell you how exactly we got the money " " Somebody make me say no " " no, no, YES -Giving into temptation even though you know you shouldn't " " I'm not supposed to show you, I'm not supposed to -I can't tell you what's going on, and I really shouldn't be doing this (regret) |
