The Strokes - not the same anymore

가사는 관계의 변화와 감정의 복잡성을 탐구하며, 과거의 후회와 다시는 되돌릴 수 없는 현실을 고백한다
주인공은 불확실한 감정과 성장하지 못한 자신에 대한 절망을 느끼며, 스스로의 정체성을 찾고자 애쓴다
결국, 늦었다는 마음과 함께 다른 사람들에게서의 소외감을 드러낸다

You're not the same anymore
Don’t wanna play that game anymore
You'd make a better window than a door
All the strangers, they implore
They get so easy to ignore
Just like the girl next door

Uncle's house, it was noon
Sorry, boy, I can’t implore ya
You are strange, but I like you
Sorry this is overdue
I promised I would do it right
Her and a boy on a Saturday night

And now the door slams shut
The child prisoner grows up
To seek his enemies' throat cut
(I'm on and on it, on and on and on it)
We're on the way, fuel the jet
Can see that what he wants, he gets
What does your sworn enemy regret?

I didn't know, I didn't care
I don't even understand
Didn't somethin’ wrong, I wasn’t sure
Stay on top of this horse
I was afraid, I fucked up
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I couldn't change, it’s too late

And now it's time to show up
I'm late again, I can't grow up
And now it’s on me, they've given up

Uncle's house, I forget
Violent tendencies I give
Your timing sucks, she went overboard
Don't forget, you are insured
I didn't know, I wasn't sure
Can't remember all that well
I couldn't change, was too late
Yeah, yeah, yeah
