French Exit

Everytime we meet You are shrinking in my ear If I don't take you somewhere else You're gonna make this insincere (come on)

Everyone I've loved Kept me tangled in my heart We'll tie that knot a bit too loose Not enough to tease apart (come on)

Actual lyrics according to the band's website (http://antlersmusic.com/lyrics/) are:

Every time we speak, you are spitting in my mouth. If I don’t take you somewhere else, I’m gonna pull my teeth right out.

Every time we meet, you are shrieking in my ear. If I don’t take you somewhere else, you’re gonna make this insincere… Come on.

Everyone I loved kept me tangled in my heart, You’ll tie that knot a bit too loose, not enough to tease apart… Come on.

Everyone I hold holds me strangled, sweet and smart. I’m not a puppy you take home, don’t bother trying to fix my heart.

"We'll tie that knot a bit too loose"

I think this song is about a relationship gone sour. Simple as that. The narrator is fed up and he/she is about to say to hell with it all.

I think that this song is about sex or maybe just sexual frustration. The lines:"Every time we meet you are shrieking in my ear if I don't take you somewhere else, you're gonna make this insincere come on" sort of reminds me of the song and dance that comes with hooking up. They like each other, they both know where it should end...in bed. They need to go somewhere else maybe somewhere less crowded to really get what they want and if the whole situation fails to produce the desired result the whole thing is invalid or 'insincere'.

I've been wondering about the meaning of this song for a while now, and it clicked watching a recent episode of Girls, where the term 'French Exit' is used for two people who leave a party or situation to go have sex. So I think it's about a relationship which is mainly sexual, and the narrator isn't necessarily happy about it, but it keeps happening.

one of the sincerest songs released in this year. i think it is about mutual devotion at first and satisfying the demands but getting tired of each other or mostly frustration at the end (We'll tie that knot a bit too loose).

sex again, just like in "I don't want love"
