I understand that the most popular, and suprisingly, the most liked theory about this song is that it is about Rosemary and Fred West. Infamous serial killers from the U.K. who luckily got what they deserved for what they did to those poor, young women. But... I can't be the only one who thinks the song's not about them ( before you crucify me, I used to wholeheartedly believe the Rosemary/Fred West story). My theory is that the song depicts the relationship between two drug addicts ( well, one prolly got sober ) slowly spiraling into the very depths of psychosis as they slowly lose touch with reality and, most depressingly, themselves and the love they have/had. "It's the smiling on the package" : Tabs of LSD have historically been labelled with the now-iconic, albeit creepy smiling face. "The faces in the sand" sound like a bad trip to me lol. Also when he talks about making revisions to a dream, while she waits in the van, I thought of those 1960's hippies who live in vans with their girl and get high and fuck all day 😂😂😂 "When your friends they do come crying tell them now your pleasure's set upon slow release": His girlfriend's friends/family are trying their best to encourage her to get clean and better her life, but her only route to pleasure, (other than the guy) is drugs and the euphoria they provide. There are also drugs known as slow-release drugs meant to stabilize ppl with mental illness, so ironically, drugs meant to better her condition are slowly eroding her life. "Sensitive to fate, not denial..but hey who's on trial ?": Although a junkie, they are both lucid enough to realize that they are ruining their lives and their "fate" scares them, but they are more than willing to avoid addressing this concern to chase their next fix. Paul Banks (lead, songwriter) layers alot of Legal/judiciary metaphors in the song and the "trial", may be the scrutiny and judgement he/she/both feel due to their lifestyle, OR it may actually be a literal trial for possession, distribution etc. He may have been caught, and will now take all the blame, despite her being just as guilty. Or like I said, a trial and jury could be a metaphor for being judged by others maybe even her. "But Hey, who's on trial?" Could then be a rhetorical question. He's saying: you did just as much dope as I did, but now you and your friends and my friends are talking down to me like your all so perfect. "It took a lifespan ( or a life spent ? ) with no cellmate, THE LONG WAY BACK. Sandy, why can't we look the other way/ Your weightless, you are exotic, you need something for which to care./your semi-erotic, you need someone to take you there". : He may have gone to prison for getting caught with drugs. Withdrawl sypmtoms would kick in, since he wouldn't have access to any dope. Withdrawl is psychological and physically, agonizing, so much so, that a few weeks without a fix could feel like decades....or a *LIFESPAN* and now sober, he's back to be with his cellmate which is purposefully pronounced as "Soul-mate". Also, he could be implying that he experienced a form of "ego-death" while getting sober and he believes he "died" and was reborn into a new life. Thus, he already spent his entire life and it ended before his eyes. He took the long way back, comparing the road to recovery to the process of resurrection like Jesus or a phoenix. He is trying to convince her to get off drugs, as they almost destroyed him. He is encouraging her to look the other way (like those corny D.A.R.E ads our parents would watch when they were teens) and avoid these substances. His pleas become increasingly desperate each time, as he compiments her beauty(you are weightless, you are exotic) tries to convince her that the love they had ( she has something/someone to care for...him) is enough, and when that fails he appeals to her sexuality. "Semi-erotic" sounds like drugs make her horny, and he could "take her there" *wink wink* if she lets him. His final plea, "Why can't we just play the other game" could also be a reference to sexual intercourse, as the pleasure ( and endless desire )one derives from sex is comparable to getting high. Or the "the game" could be a normal, mundane life. Paul is implying that being a junkie and a normal sober person are "games" we play to escape our deep-seated knowledge that we are mortal, flawed beings. The most convincing line is probably, "is this motion everlasting or do shudders pass in the night ?". It sounds like in a desperate attempt to prove his love to her, he got back on drugs. She finally starts being more intimate and holding him tight and gently, which further encourages his downward spiral. Shudders are another symptom of withdrawls, and he wonders if they'll pass as long as she holds him at night. Just when everything is going great and they are getting high and having sex all the time, the shudders return to remind him that their lifestyle is not sustainable and will eventually end in tragedy. He also realizes that depsite their relationship regaining it's spark, both of them are slaves to their drug of choice and the love they have for one another cannot triumph over their obsession with getting dope. The entire song, beginning to finish, is him slowly realizing that him and his girl will never be able to have a healthy relationship, they have become slaves to their darkest impulses, because they refuse to "look the other way" or "play the other game" even though deep down, they both know they should. What Interpol is implying then, I believe, is that "Evil" is not a monster or ghoul or devil or corporation or dicator or even the crimes and sins we commit as people. True evil is knowing what is right, and valuing your own desires so much, that your refuse to do what's right. So there it is, my super-complex theory about the meaning of "Evil" by Interpol. A THEORY.... remember that. If you read to end, I love you ♥️
@@raptordan166 it is about serial killers tho... The story is that when John and Mary were awaiting trial after torturing (pleasure set upon slow-release)and killing there victims in there basement and hiding them under there floorboards John killed himself before hand and let marry take out the entire sentence...so...fake fan?
I came here because of tuv, and I'm glad to experience this song. It has ironically become on of my comforting songs. It's not because of those horrible serial killers, it's just the lyrics and the beat that makes me want to embrace it.
You can't help but to feel sad, (although they were serial killers), the fact that someone you love could damn you to spend the rest of your life alone in a cell is unimaginable.
Fred west iq was pretty low because of incidents that happened to him as a child, I think rosemary was the one who started abusing the kids and because Fred's iq was low he went along with it.
No the person they love didn't put them behind bars for the rest of their lives.. them killing ppl put them behind bars the rest of their lives ughhh smh total narcissistic society these days thinking it is alwyas someone else's fault and not their own. Ugh anyway, I came to this video to listen to a creepy song because the original music video scares the living crap out of me lol
@@diegobarrera7701 life is still worth living even with or without love. There are people that are just happy being single or don't care and that's okay to be single,you can work on yourself and get the body of your dreams.
I rediscovered this song through the story of Norman the puppet's life after this music video and it's a bit sad and looks haunting. The lyrics took a while to understand as a story but damn it's been in my head for a solid week or so. It's really an underrated song with a unique sound.
after reading the comments about what the song was about, I googled the history of the West and I really regretted having read it and that I only read the content of wikipedia. I think it is one of the most horrifying and unimaginable things possible, it left me with a feeling of hopelessness, fear and repulsion. I recommend thinking twice before reading it....
@Jack Kear Same here y'all, 5 days now been listening to TOTBL on repeat and I can't believe what I've been missing out on....kinda makes you wonder what other amazing songs exist out there but you're just painfully oblivious to them...

decided to give this song a chance yesterday near the end of my school day for that week, this song is pretty fucked up when you find out what the lyrics mean, but it's catchy; it's like a mix of ween, fall out boy, weezer, green day, and the killers. pretty good music video as well(warning for people afraid of puppets as the protagonist of that music video is an animatronic puppet named Norman)
A modern day masterpiece. So many analytical interpretations of the lyrics. They may be right. All I can say that with my knowledge of music and musicians, the meaning of the song tends to be quite simple. Think of Smells like Teen Spirit or Seven Nation army. An idea or a couple of lyrics or melody the writer has can turn into a masterpiece. The lyrics in Evil just sound so good. If they hadn't called the song 'Evil', it would have got a lot more radio play time and be recognised as a modern day masterpiece.
It may be intended to be about killers. Idk. For me its about hopelessness and loss. Theres a decision that has to be made or an understanding that is not had to want to harm others on top of great feelings of loss and seclusion. I feel the sentiment of this song. Its a sad reality for some
The first part was a lot less scary than the second half. I think it’s because the lighting you could see the texture on his skin. He wasn’t weirdly smooth.
Look, I know this song is about Fred and Rosemary West. However, I find this song to be an absolute bop. Also, murder ballads shouldn't be put on the highest pedestal of "Its music you can't associate with other things.". Mainly because murder ballads in of themselves are exploitative by design if you REALLY think about it.
@@krakennvlyat well listen shit head. U coward stay silent when Palestine gets killed but no no when a song is bout serial killer.... Then shhh Buzz off kid
Music can envoke different emotions. If someone associated this song with a serial killer couple. Interesting. If someone else associates this song with a fictional character. That's great too. Evil can be about plenty of things depending on who you ask. And there's nothing wrong with that.
The cool thing about Interpol is that some of their songs have dual meanings. For example, PDA can be interpreted as being about someone in denial about their failing relationship or about a guy eho drugs and takes advantage of women. Similarly, this song has been confirmed to be about Frank and Rosemary West, but if you dont know who the name "Rosemary" refers to, it's just a song about drug addiction. I feel that the dual meanings exist so some songs have a "radio friendly" interpretation.
sandy means pretty girl in brit slang ,also him saying great smile is ,fred west trying to talk to rose at the trial . failing to reconnect with rose he "went away" .also sensitive to fate not denial is saying she doesn't denies what happen she just doesnt wants to be locked upped for life(I'm assuming england doesn't execute murders)
Please, can anyone explain what the lyrics actually mean? what is singer talking bout? did he lose his gf in a car accident? who is rosemary? who is Sandy? o.o
I think its about the evil in instant gratification. - "tell them now your pleasure's set upon slow release" Consumerism has humanity distracted, everyone of us is guilty of focusing our attention and time on things rather than ourselves and each other. When the good people at heart are able to fulfill their potential to impact the world, it becomes a better place. The way we look at money and things limits our potential for good. It makes us deny our fate to do good? - "Sensitive to fate, Not denial"
Very late, but I think it's the daughter/Fred and Rose's daughter that was an unfortunate victim to her parents, that managed to escape the wretched West's household, told the court, which ended in Fred and Rose's death sentences, which the lyrics referencing Fred is probably trying to convince Sandy but oops, too late. Actually I think this song is about the days after Sandy escaped the household and this song is just all about the days before Fred killed himself, trying to convince Sandy but knows Sandy is too old to be lied to, so he prayed to God to allow him and Rose to heaven.
I dont actually think this song is about those grossass serial killers, it kind of feels like its talking about life in general? It also feels like it's dealing with regretting decisions which are inevitable In life (Heaven restores you in life- why cant we look the other way?) and feeling Evil from those mistakes (like for example, the music video having a car crash with the lady not waking up) and about having to move forward and keep living through life the best you can to the full extent
Could either be the uncanny valley robot or the song could be interpreted as being about Fred and and Rosemary West. Who were serial killers. And the embodiment of those ugly flower prints on 1970s era couches.
interesting anyone feeling this song is about hope might think that sarah mclaclahn's possession or the police's wrapped around my finger are nice songs too ???

Similarly, this song has been confirmed to be about Frank and Rosemary West, but if you dont know who the name "Rosemary" refers to, it's just a song about drug addiction.
I feel that the dual meanings exist so some songs have a "radio friendly" interpretation.
For the last four years I would sing this song as "Hate Is On Trial!"
At least I don't have to look at that damn puppet

Anyone because of "The 100"? Diyoza... Lol.
YESS
Yessss
yes, the 100, love it 💕
One of the best uses of the song I've ever seen. She went full on Linda Hamilton. ❤️
I loved her 😟❤
This that cutting edge NYC rock in the genre of the yeah yeah yups , just great , props , t4p
I can feel myself falling apart
This is, such a great song! (Even tho it's based off or of serial killers) But nice 👍
sandy means pretty girl in brit slang ,also him saying great smile is ,fred west trying to talk to rose at the trial . failing to reconnect with rose he "went away" .also sensitive to fate not denial is saying she doesn't denies what happen she just doesnt wants to be locked upped for life(I'm assuming england doesn't execute murders)
2022 anyone?

this song makes me have very concerning thoughts
YES! PERFECT
Please, can anyone explain what the lyrics actually mean? what is singer talking bout? did he lose his gf in a car accident? who is rosemary? who is Sandy? o.o
thats about a serial killer couple but i think it can be interprated on different ways
I think its about the evil in instant gratification. - "tell them now your pleasure's set upon slow release"
Consumerism has humanity distracted, everyone of us is guilty of focusing our attention and time on things rather than ourselves and each other. When the good people at heart are able to fulfill their potential to impact the world, it becomes a better place. The way we look at money and things limits our potential for good.
It makes us deny our fate to do good? - "Sensitive to fate, Not denial"
@@razalas1117 actually its about a serial killer. I mean the story is, but your concept may still be right
@@razalas1117 it's about a disgusting couple - Fred and Rosemary west. Look up the story
Are you legitimately not able to google things?
Norman the animatronic puppet's lyric song
I get the song is about serial killers, but WHO'S SANDY?
Very late, but I think it's the daughter/Fred and Rose's daughter that was an unfortunate victim to her parents, that managed to escape the wretched West's household, told the court, which ended in Fred and Rose's death sentences, which the lyrics referencing Fred is probably trying to convince Sandy but oops, too late.
Actually I think this song is about the days after Sandy escaped the household and this song is just all about the days before Fred killed himself, trying to convince Sandy but knows Sandy is too old to be lied to, so he prayed to God to allow him and Rose to heaven.

@@CameraPunk5049 man.
Great video!!
Quién en el zócalo? 😅
Silencio mexicano
I dont actually think this song is about those grossass serial killers, it kind of feels like its talking about life in general?
It also feels like it's dealing with regretting decisions which are inevitable In life (Heaven restores you in life- why cant we look the other way?) and feeling Evil from those mistakes (like for example, the music video having a car crash with the lady not waking up) and about having to move forward and keep living through life the best you can to the full extent
Interesting thought
Why is it that every song that bops always have the darkest lyrics?

Who’s here from the 100? 🙋🏻♀️
It fits to Diyoza so much! 😍
YESS
Oh hi my friends 😍
I’m a big 100 fan ❤️
@@Emma-pb1ji me too
Serious question at 2:25 he whispers something into the mic that isn't in the lyrics. Can anybody hear what he's saying.
It's actually not a whisper, its a sound that's made when an electric guitar string is grazed while plugged into the Amp.
*Brilliant*
The beat: 😊
The lyrics: 💀
Ok. This may get dated real quick. But I really want one of those people who make edits to make one for Mother Miranda (re8) using the first few lines
If I could I would babes

My bf always sing the rosemary part of this song whenever i mention the word rosemary..
Ayo happens everytime with my friends and me
This hits different, knowing what this song is about…
Can anyone recommend me similar songs?
Interpol's "C'mere" uses the same guitar riff and is one of my favs along with this
pov your watching this in 2022
yes
Idk why but when I was small this song was creepy for meh
Dont look at the official music video
@@youplay8671 or the meaning
Could either be the uncanny valley robot or the song could be interpreted as being about Fred and and Rosemary West. Who were serial killers. And the embodiment of those ugly flower prints on 1970s era couches.
Anyone else here from the 100?
it
What is the font, please?
@@Bauernade good one
interesting anyone feeling this song is about hope might think that sarah mclaclahn's possession or the police's wrapped around my finger are nice songs too ???
Riz (Beastars) character theme song
Diyoza Moment.
If I see one more comment about a fictional character on a song about real killers I will go insane.
Br dar like .
2:14 could be a generational logo on people. Works for me. I garden slash help idk would raise people.
wow
who is sandy?
I don’t think “Sandy” was involved in the story that inspired this song.
Hey folks if you like Interpol you'll also like the chromatics as well!
So is he talking about Sandy or Rose?
Rose
How old is this song?
it's from Interpol's 2nd album 'Antics' released in 2004
I still can't wrap my mind around that the entirety of the 2000's is almost at least a decade ago now.
Como para capturas de pantalla... Me encanto el tipo de letra alguien sabe donde la puedo encontrar?
Sorta looks like the 28 days font.
