Lyric discussion by Lundylow 

Cover art for In Transit lyrics by Albert Hammond Jr.

I don't know what I think about the lyrics behind this song. A majority of The Strokes' and Hammond Jr's lyrics are random enough that sometimes I wonder if they mean anything at all. I know some of them do, but underground New York rock bands like them are more often just going for the sound of something.

And the sound of this song, what I feel when the opening guitar comes on the radio, is summer, comepletely laid back, cruising around in some beat-up car. It's such a relaxed sound. I love it.
