| A bad lyricist doesn't write little lines that change people's lives. I think James Murphy is an amazing lyricist haha | |
| LCD Soundsystem – I Can Change Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| "But maybe that's what your lover finds" isn't an implication that there's someone else. James Murphy's just saying that the girl he thinks loves him back might not actually. It's what happens when you fall in love; you think the other person thinks of you a lot and all that | |

Sorry about that comment above, I really have no idea how to use this site, sorry haha. Well, I'd like to know why you think this song is about someone looking back and wanting to relive their young and fun life.Many times in the song, Murphy says that this sort of life (blowing 85 days in the middle of France; taking 45 turns just as fast as you can; you drop the first ten years just as fast you can) is tiring, and I think he means mentally as well as physically. At first, when I read the lyrics, I thought he was talking to some friend that's wasting his life (the "face like a dad and a laughable stand" stanza)--and I'll admit that my first interpretation was a bit derived in parts, like when I said that he's talking to himself when he speaks in 2nd person--but it seems like he's making a commentary on people that blow their lives away. That's me though, and that's why I put it under My Interpretation haha. |

The song's set at a party, I'm sure. It sounds like it's about people that've wasted their life with parties and shallow shots of happiness, tiring themselves out. And it ends with "If I could see all of my friends tonight," implying that the people with him aren't his friends. The narrator sounds bittersweet about his life, thinking in some way it was worth it (and the song itself sounds bittersweet. It kind of make me want to dance and cry at the same time). At the party, the narrator has an epiphany (It comes apart/The way it does in bad films/Except in parts/When the moral kicks in), and the epiphany contrasts with the party, where I'm sure everyone else is oblivious to the change in the narrator. Instead of being depressed like some people feel when they realized they've wasted away, the narrator seems empowered and ready to change his life. I think whenever the narrator talks in second-person, he might be talking to himself. It's an empowering song, really. It's the most inspiring and motivating song about despair and depression I've ever heard |
