    From Interpol´s Turn On The Bright Lights
    Feedback appreciated.
    Lyrics
    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 kid gloves
    But she doesn't know that I left my urge in the icebox
    She swears I'm just prey to the female,
    Well then hook me up and throw me, baby cakes, cuz 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 to learn your way.
    I picture you and me together in the jungle it will be ok.
    I'll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night
    That is supposing you don't sleep tonight
    It's like learning a new language
    Helps me catch up on my mime
    If you don't bring up those lonely parts
    This could be a good time
    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

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

      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.

      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.

    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.

    my love is subliminal.

      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.
