| The Strokes – Brooklyn Bridge to Chorus Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| I think the meaning of this song is about Julian Casablancas' marriage coming to an end. " going in circles"....arguing with no end in sight. She (Juliet) gave up a large portion of her younger years to helping him with his career with The Strokes and his solo works and The Voidz and she perhaps felt underappreciated and longing to have friends and a life but couldn't because of him. "The beginning of the best years though".... they were married 15 years and entering into a new phase of adult life, but never got there due to ending their marriage. "It hurts my case, but that's okay"....perhaps there was infidelity on his part and maybe breaking sobriety which made him look even worse as things ended but he decided it was just a fact he must live with. "Juliet I adore".....he still loves her and always will, but realizes it's too late for them. | |

It's not "we roll around in these arms" It's "we can roll around in the dark" The few parts that really stick out for me as far as meanings go is maybe this: "Oh but baby don't you be so mad because I barely remember" perhaps it's a reference to a woman whose husband or s.o. has gone away for a period of time (maybe on tour) and when he comes back he is acting differently than how she remembered him when they last saw one another. "Oh you're never going to get this love. We can roll around in the dark. That's about as far as we go. Get up in the morning and run".... To me that simply sounds like a girl that is okay to sleep with, but that is all it will ever be because once we are done I'm out of here. |
