    The iconically distant sound of Interpol is definitely one of their main selling points, all of their music sounds mystifying and hauntingly beautiful

      All the girls are like new territories of land. All the boys are explorers of those new lands. Leif Erikson explores and conquers. But he also evangelizes. He brings the knowledge of a moral discipline of Love and Respect. Jesus Christ's teaching. The song and the lyric are a jewel of love, history, human heroism, courage and hope. Beautiful. Thanks.

      Funny thing I got the same feeling today as I listened to Interpol maybe for 5 hours and made up mind that I would love actually to have Interpol played at funeral. So that people know (if anybody shows up 😁) that meant a lot to me and so that Paul's lyrics can long live forever in next generations hearts and minds.

    I once knew a girl like this. I fell hard for her even though everything inside me said it was a bad idea. I pursued her and was strung along. I knew she didnt feel for me what I did for her. She told me my problem was that "I wore my heart on my sleeve." What she didn't understand or didn't appreciate was that while that mightve been true, it only applied to her. But oh well, I made a hard decision and pushed her out of my life. Fast forward 10 years later and she says pushing me away was one of the biggest mistakes she ever made. But oh well, by that time, I had moved on and no longer had feelings for her. I cant deny that it didnt feel good that she got to experience a little bit of what I went through.

    It's like learning another language and that is the story of Interpol. You're learning another language? The sanguine language of despair and hope with these gorgeous melodies and voices in the best rock band for me ever. That

    She says
    It helps with the lights out
    Her rabid glow
    Is like braille to the night
    She swears
    I'm a slave to the details
    But if your life is such a big joke
    Why should I care?
    The clock is set for nine
    But you know you're gonna make it eight
    So that you two can take some time
    Teach each other to reciprocate
    She feels that my sentimental side
    Should be held with kids gloves
    But she doesn't know
    That I left my urge in the icebox
    She swears
    I'm just prey for the female
    Well then hook me up and throw me baby cakes
    'Cause I like to get hooked
    The clock is set for nine
    But you know you're gonna make it eight
    All the people that you've loved
    They're all bound to leave some keepsakes
    I've been swinging all the time
    Think it's time I learned your way
    I picture you and me together
    In the jungle it will be okay
    I'll bring you when my lifeboat
    Sails through the night
    That is supposing that
    You don't sleep tonight
    It's like learning a new language
    Helps me catch up on my mind
    If you don't bring up those lonely parts
    This could be a good time
    It's like learning a new language
    You come here to me
    We'll collect those lonely parts
    And set them down
    You come here to me
    She says brief things
    Her love's a pony
    My love's subliminal
    She says brief things
    Her love's a pony
    My love's subliminal

    I guess in this masterpiece the end of the song is:
    She says brief things
    Her love is a PHONEY (or phony)
    my love is subliminal.
    Can someone confirm it?

      Leif was an explorer like Columbus who somehow didn't make as many headlines and front page coverage as Columbus did. I reckon Paul somehow relates here to exploration in more mystical way, not very direct physical movement to unknown places.

      The song is all about discovering a person and exploring them - what makes them tick, what makes them happy, what makes them sad, etc.
      Being in a new relationship and still figuring each other out.
      That's the reference to Leif Erikson.
