The Drums are one of these bands I could talk my whole life about.
Their lyrics are so silly and kind of easy written, but I always think there's something deep behind them.
And this song is (in my view) obviously about a pedophile. I mean "You're like a child and I like that" and also the title itself "I need a doctor". It's the first thing I thought when I've listened to it.
It's about a person who fell in love with a child and "it's such a stupid thing but" he "likes that." And even if he is aware of that it is a wrongdoing he can't stop his feelings.
And there are always signs that this love isn't good for him, because it's a crime.
For example:
"You’re always pushing me so close to death"
"But you torture me
And you ruin me"
Of course it could be about a normal love affair but this thought always crosses my mind when I'm listening to this song.
And hell I really don't know what's meant with that tambourine shit... BUT I LIKE THAAAAAT.
