The Strokes - ode to the mets

주인공은 과거의 친구들과의 관계와 추억을 떠올리며 현재의 고독과 괴로움에 대한 반성을 한다
그는 솔직함과 진실을 원하는 동시에, 내면의 갈등과 불안을 느끼고 있다
결국 변화는 필요하지만, 그 과정에서 겪는 감정적 소음과 고통이 그를 괴롭게 한다

Up on his horse, up on his horse
Not gonna wake up here anymore
Listen one time, it's not the truth
It's just the story I tell to you
Easy to say, easy to do
But it's not easy, well maybe for you
Hope that you find it, hope that it's good
Hope that you read it
think that you should
Cuts you some slack as he sits back
Sizes you up, plans his attack

Oh, oh
Drums please, Fab

And I got it all, I got it all
Waitin' for me down on the street
But now you gotta do
somethin' special for me
I'm gonna say what's on my mind
Then I'll walk out, then I'll feel fine

Yeah, I'm under his thumb
I'm on his back
I will not show my teeth too quick
I needed you there, I needed you there
But I didn't know, I didn't know

La, la, la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La, la, la, la-la
La-la, la-la

Back from his trip, he's at the door
When he gets back, he's on his phone
Innocent eye, innocent heart
No, it's not wrong, but it's not right
Innocent time, out on his own
Not gonna do that, fuck
I'm out of control
I was just bored, playin' the guitar
Learned all your tricks
wasn't too hard

It's the last one now
I can promise you that
I'm gonna find out the truth
when I get back

Gone now are the old times
Forgotten, time to hold on the railing
The Rubik's Cube isn't solving for us
Old friends, long forgotten
The old ways at the bottom of
The ocean now has swallowed
The only thing that's left is us
So pardon
the silence that you're hearing
Is turnin' into a deafening
painful, shameful roar
