The Rover Lyrics

Cover art for The Rover lyrics by Interpol

It seems to me, our narrator is actually the alcohol.

"Come on, open up take a sip. You'll have to pay to get the fluid excitements and maybe you 'll die if you keep meeting me; It really is just an incremental end." "Just take a look on this man. He thinks he can walk on his feet. Thinks he doesn't need anyone. He totally fell for my promises of excitement and independence. All it took is stumbling on me while walking the wrong streets."

I can't relate directly if that's what it's about, but I admit it's a very powerful song. With the Interpol delicious taste.
