Cover art for Say Hello to the Angels lyrics by Interpol

To me this song means having an inextricably intense connection with someone, where the chemical attraction is beyond comprehension and impossible to ignore. Once you start a relationship but, you find that even though you're having the best sex of your life and you want to be with this person every single precious second, there's something missing that you can't quite put your finger on. You both have different interests, different spirituality, different ways of expressing yourself and viewing the world, so when you have conversations there's always that feeling of 'I don't think you quite understood what I was trying to say'. But you can't deny animal attraction - sometimes its worth the lack of mental compatability. Besides which, the best way to learn tolerance and to expand your values and beliefs is to live your life with someone completely different to yourself. FUCKING GREAT song to shag too ; p
