Interpol

Interpol's new album coming out June 4th

My take on Interpol's first two albums "Turn on the Bright Lights" and "Antics"

When I purchased "Turn on the Bright Lights" I really enjoyed the music of all the tracks avaialble except for one which was "Hands Away." Otherwise, I thought "Bright Lights" was damn good except for one fact, the album sounded pretty much the same throughout the tracks but one track that sticks out to me is "Leif Erikson" If its not the guitar melodically fusing the mood just right it is the rhythm section near the end.

Antics, (my favorite of the two) has a more varied sound. However, this doesn't benefit it in any shape or form at least for me. I do have to say my favorite tracks off of Antics are Evil and C'mere. Evil in particular has a very rhytmatic feel to it. It is simply awesome.

Name

And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away


And now we're grown up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame

But if you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell em' your name


And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are


We grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
Reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell em' your name
I won't tell em' your name
Mmm, mmm, mmm,

I won't tell em' your name… Ow!


I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are come back down,
And I won't tell em your name

Glosoli

Glowing Sun (Bright Sun)
Now that you're awake
Everything seems different
I look around
But there's nothing at all
Put on my shoes, I then find that
She is still in her pyjamas
Then found in a dream
I'm hung by (an) anticlimax
She is with the sun
And it's out here
But where are you...
Go on a journey
And roam the streets
Can't see the way out
And so use the stars
She sits for eternity
And then climbs out
She's the glowing sun
So come out
I awake from a nightmare
My heart is beating
Out of control…
I've become so used to this craziness
That it's now compulsory
And here you are...
I'm feeling...
And here you are,
Glowing sun...
And here you are,
Glowing sun...
And here you are,
Glowing sun...
And here you are...

Do You...

Spending all this time
Alone...
Waiting for something
Extraordinary...
Do you think....

Do you think...
Do you Feel that!

Tingling in my head
Electrified..
Smiles on our faces
So so happy

Do you think....
Wasted time could be
Made up...
Petrified
From the very warmth
That makes us....

Do you think....

Refined

With messages so clear
It seems like God couldn't Interfer
So crude from the start
But refined when you depart

Wynter

Look around...Look around and see, the complex bullshit thats become a reality. Stares & Looks overcome the norm, Everyone has become so fake, they think it's fine
Don't want to rain on their parade, but I can't let this go on past the nine...
I'm going all out

Throwing it all out
Doesn't matter
Nothing does because the clutches
Of superficiality have overcome
The Wynter

They all come & go, they feed off you like bugs on a light, Drained I fall to my knees, And they all love every single second of it all, To see me crumble...Fall further....but it doesn't matter
I'm going all out

Throwing it all out
Doesn't matter
Nothing does because the clutches
Of superficiality have overcome
The Wynter (Senses)

Ahhhhhhh(low key ahh)
(Fade out)

Inside

Flip up the switch
Reveal the light inside
There she lays; I
Hope there's still time
As much as can be done
In a day
Walk upon the
Floor and see
The carnage you've caused
You're scared now; trembling

Maybe you weren't right
That blank stare
That screams
"I do care"
Impurity
What does that even mean?

Sanctrified, petrified
She moves...
Standing up in the light
She moves...
Her beauty reforms
She moves...
You've become deformed
She smiles...

Fade out from the light
Into the pitch black dark
The only color you can see
Is the crimson scarlet of blood
Flowing from your fingertips
Sit there
...Wonder
Spread out
And feel the darkness overtake you
Become empty inside

Way

Way

Sit there & patronize me
Laugh & make fun of my hobbies
At least I know I'm not phoney
Go ahead and disguise
I know you'll do it
You goddamn bigot

Everyday its all the same
Look back at past events
You'll realize you're so lame

[chorus]
How'd you get this way?
When'd you change
From no collar to full mane
I guess I'll stay away
Cause I'm not gonna sway

Doesn't it bother you that your so single minded?
One man's terroist is another's freedom fighter
Shit
Let it all go
Lose that damn state of mind
Replace it with something thats so sublime

I know
I've been there
Down that same dark road of nothingness
You try to be Mr.Cool
But alas
You just look like a damn fool

But its ok...
Someone's gotta be the fuck up

[chorus]
How'd you get this way?
When'd you change
From no collar to full mane
I guess I'll stay away
Cause I'm not gonna sway
