Try It On Lyrics

Cover art for Try It On lyrics by Interpol

Following the concept of the album (the death of a relationship) I believe this is that part that most that have lived there went through: the re-enconter. After everything that happens you star feeling good again, you realize you are better off without that relationship and now you can do whatever you want (Safe Without) but suddenly you go to a party and you meet her. She's there and you can't help but feeling bad again. Then you just can't avoid a conversation and then the worse that can happens: you kiss her. If you ever lived that situation, you will understand the confusion that he is going though:

"Please explore my love's endurance And stay, stay Please endure my love's exhortations " - You beg to her explore the moment of weakness you are having and take you back. You didn't what to be with her, but what the fuck, you are already there. But of course of listen to a lot of " No fucking way"s and No's

"On this side You wanna see that There's no change And somewhere to stay

On this side You're gonna see that There's no change Nowhere to stay" - You are reasonable enough to say "If you stay with me, baby, be aware that I didn't change and nothing change and everything will be just the same fucking way", but you are 100% reasonable, you still want her to Try It On one more time.

I've been through this lately, it was awful, you are not sure what you want, you were certain it is good for you to stay away, but once again, you can only think about getting back together again.

Also, "All of the ways" is a great continuation to that, since you can see that she tells him that she already is dating another person and she won't go back to him.

Yes! Judging by most of the comments on most of these songs, no one seems to get that it's a concept album and it should be taken as a whole as well as piece by piece
