| Interpol – A Time to Be So Small Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| hehe, i used to think Paul was singing "Nursing an erection, he wasn't even there" instead of "Rehearsing interaction, he wasn't even there." And I thought what I heard was still so...good. A good lyric. Oh well. Hear what you want to hear, I suppose? | |
| Interpol – A Time to Be So Small Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| INTERPAUL: "When the cadaverous mobs save their doors for the dead men you cannot leave" - this sounds like a more eloquent/complex way of warning a kid about the dangers of druggies and the addiction to that kind of lifestyle. Like you get sucked in, barred in by these people, who are half-dead. I could be way off. | |
| Interpol – Take You on a Cruise Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Best song on Antics. Love the ocean/nautical symbolism. This is NOT about rape. He's trying to convince this girl, not rape her. He's trying to persuade this girl that he is so wonderful, wants to offer her a future of marriage and children. Even if it's bullshit. If it is about a cocktail waitress, then it's far less dreamy than I pictured. But this is what it is to me: He's stealing this woman away, reminds me of Rose's fiance on Titanic, but less of an asshole. "Tears drown in the wake of delight" - reluctance and sorrow will turn to joy. "There's nothing like this built today/You'll never see a finer ship in your life" - there's no one like him these days, if she passes him up she's going to regret it. "Along the way, the sea will crowd us with LOVERS (not rubbers - those lyrics are completely wrong) at night" - we'll have our options for infidelity. We'll be surrounded by temptation. "An anatomy of kisses and a teacher who tries": Ultimately, what they will be - what they will be made of, one is more experienced "Who knows how we'll disappear" - breaking up/leaving someone is inevitable, it's a question of how "I am a scavenger between the sheets of union" - he's like a sex vulture - he picks up whatever girls he can, whatever action he can get. The way he sings it makes me almost pity him. "An anatomy of kisses and a future of lies" - again, reminds me of infidelity. |
