Keane – Pretend That You're Alone Lyrics 9 years ago
I believe this song is about a guy who want to get a relationship with an evasive woman and he's trying to make the concept of love like is not big deal so they can be a couple, he seem to succeed but while in the relationship he discovers that he made a mistake minimizing the love for her and now she's too loveless, and is just some kind of 'free' which isn't what he wanted

Interpol – Roland Lyrics 9 years ago
I can't believe no one (in the 7 pages of comments I read) as come to the, clear to me, explanation of the singer suffering schizophrenia and having a case similar to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

Roland is a persona of the singer, and happens to be "his best friend" because "he always had the time to speak with him and he liked him for that", that's because he was the only one who could understand the singer

Roland is an unstable persona that can lead him to do horrendous things with his "sixteen knives" like "severing segments" of people, I suppose

The worst thing is that "he liked that"

At some time he was "caught in a public place" within his persona and now he's in an asylum

just a plus, the "oh look, it stopped snowing" seems to me like he's trying to avoid the subject because he fells uncomfortable to talk about it

Interpol – All the Rage Back Home Lyrics 9 years ago
I believe it's about a couple that come back after a break up

When she went, "Love, come over", my head abounds.
Oh, the feelings.
And she wept, "Hold me again", I made no sound.
Oh, the beating.
And she swore, "Love is never gone, so easily."
And we went over again, my head abounds,
Oh, the feeling.

She's asking him if they can come back again and he fails to resist because he still have feelings for her

She said, "You don't need time,
Be tame, you won't meet your mate inside.
My faith won't lie."

He said, "You don't need mine,
Be tame, you wanna leave my lady lovers,
of my 18 summers, alone?"

They are trying to make things be as they were in the past, starting to argue

She said, "You don't read minds.
Be patient, you won't leave me shaken,
Leave me shaken."

She gives up, saying that she can't expect him to be perfect, and that if she was wrong, he must be patient with her

I keep falling,
Maybe half the time,
Maybe half the time.

It's all the rage back home,
It's all the rage back home.

This is more like a guess, this time he's saying that even with those problems, he's still "falling" in love with her, and that the anger in the past have gone

When she said, "Love, come over",
My head abounds,
Oh, the feeling...

After some time in their renewed relationship, he knows something is going to happen when she asks him to talk

She said, "You wanna reply, be paid,
You gonna see my face in lights
My faith won't lie."

But my sweet, you don't need mine to come away and just say you love me,
just say you love me, alone.

They start to have a pretty bad argument again, he just want to stop this behavior, but it's frustrating because he can't do nothing for it

She said, "You don't read minds.
Be patient, you won't see me shaken."
Well I've been mistaken.

She then states that he thinks he understands her problems, but he can't, and that she can be fine without him, she don't need him

I keep falling,
Maybe half the time,
Maybe half the time.

I keep falling,
Maybe half the time,
Maybe half the time.

It's all the rage back home,
It's all the rage back home.

All the rage back home,
All the rage back home...

There, He realizes that he "felt" again in her plays like the first time, and the anger, he thought was long gone, is coming back, leading to another break up

sorry for some grammar errors, I'm still not used to write in english
