| The Strokes – Reptilia Lyrics | 6 hours ago |
|
@[nygfan:55498] not a break up song. The word Retilia refers to the part of your brain that is based on instinct and more animalistic sense than reasoning. The song is about a guy who is interested in a girl at a party and the lyrics are about his struggle between letting his "wild" side take over and his more intellectual side showing restraint. It's not necessary about date rape, but it is definitely about hooking up with a girl despite the guy knowing that it's not the smart thing to do. Maybe he is married or has a girlfriend. Think of it as a guy with the typical angel and devil conscience on his shoulders and the devil side is the one singing the aggressive parts and the angel the part about being ran off the road. |
