The Strokes – Metabolism Lyrics 14 years ago
Hi there. I'm pretty sure that's what he sings and it all makes good sense to me. I love this song too, lyrics and music. Yes, it is dark and there's a lot of emotion in the music and the way he sings and that's probably why I love it so much. FIOE is also my favourite Strokes album. I love Heart in a cage and Vision of division mostly, but also Electricityscape, Ize of the World and 15 minutes. I like Angles too (though a little less than FIOE) I instantly loved this one and Taken for a fool and now others are starting to really grow on me like Machu Picchu, You're so right and Games. I hope I will get a chance to see them live this year!

I am new to this site, and just spotted that I can post as "lyric correction" rather than a reply to a comment so here it is again:

I wanna be outrageous
but inside I know I'm plain
so plain, just plain
Boring and plain

Silently obsessed with death(or debt?-unlikely)
just like anyone I guess
Trying for the perfect life
End up being in denial

I wanna be somebody,
wanna be somebody like you
like you, like you
Like you, instead of me

Silently obsessed with death
Just like anyone I guess
Trying for the perfect life
End up being in denial

Hi everyone. I absolutely LOVE this song so I spent ages yesterday trying to work the lyrics out. I think I've cracked them, so here is my version:

I wanna be outrageous
but inside I know I'm plain
so plain, just plain
Boring and plain

Silently obsessed with death(or debt?-unlikely)
just like anyone I guess
Trying for the perfect life
End up being in denial

I wanna be somebody,
wanna be somebody like you
like you, like you
Like you, instead of me

Silently obsessed with death
Just like anyone I guess
Trying for the perfect life
End up being in denial

Pretty close to screenager0's version but with a few tweaks.
