I feel like once you get the particular oblique angle they're working with, it's fairly easy to digest. Every writer has their trick bag, it's just a language you learn if you enjoy the work. And the thrill of cloaking private references in obtuse public code is pretty sexy when you've gotten away with it.
if only Paul could do this for every song i think all we can die in pace not trying so hard to find every right meaning of ALL of their songs but i have to admit that this fact and that Paul chose to write in this way maybe not so obvious and more in a abstract way it gives to interpol part of their essence. i love to try to imagine in my mind the scene of what Paul are singing and what is themeaning behind this.
I was scrolling through the Genius channel and I was not expecting this 😭 Interpol literally got me through middle and high school. I will never get over them
Sherbert The destroyer check out obstacle 1 and 2, Roland, Stella was a diver and pda if you’re interested in trying some more songs of theirs, those are really good ones
aaa damn, you getting salty for being called out. I like interpol, but rhcp and mars volta are so much better as artists and lyricsts, and rappers like mf doom, denzel curry, and earl sweatshirt rape these lyrics, even tho i really like interpol. Shit on the garbage rappers, but respect the ones who put in genuine work and create new and distinct sounds apart from the mainstream bullshit
Paul is one of the smart few that got interviewed by "Genius". I love the construction of the songs. It reminds me of the old Beatnick style. Something I adopted in my creative writing. Free flow, but with intent, maybe more symbolic. Sometimes it seems nonsensical but ultimately resolves with a little applied creative thinking.
"He barely has to seek repentants" This line is telling a lot about how people are easily relate to these fucked up cult stuff and become insane as well.
My love's a laboratory I set all my pets free So baby you should sleep with me I make trips to the bathroom Yeah my friends all have true grit I am speckled like a leopard Put a lid on Shirley Temple Yeah you make sleek kills Yeah you travel you travel You park me in your buick You sing songs into my lips Well I am speckled like a leopard Just like a leopard Trust will get you down I love the way You put me in the big house I love the way You put me in the big house
Damn, so if you getting rock people, the mars volta needs to decode their lyrics and their experimental shit is too amazing. Get curry on here some more and maybe pull the chili peppers, itd be too sick
is this the first ever non rapper?! Paul Banks is a legend! anyone who is in there teens and listen to Soundcloud leave now! Interpol is easily one of the greatest indie alternative rock punk bands ever! from sound to lyrics. go get the new album Marauder now! its fuckin fiya!
GENIUS FINALLY BROUGHT A GENIUS
We need this for about 70ish more Interpol songs

TOTTALY AGREE
FRRR
There's no fun in a "right" meaning.
Paul Banks is fluent in English, Spanish, and Thuganomics.
Thuganomics 🤣🤣🤣💀
Never heard anyone discuss a song this in depth with this much imagery, Paul is one of the great songwriters of the 2000s
IT'S LIKE LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE

wow i didn't expect that, thank you genius
I have to pause every 30 seconds because my heart literally bursts. He's so interesting.

i wasn’t expecting this at all, I’m so pleased!! Thx genius. You should invite more rock, indie artists to explain their lyrics.
YOU SHOULD BE IN MY SPAAAAACE
YOU SHOULD BE IN MY LIIIIIIIIIFE
Which song is that? I'm confident I'd recognize if it was in turn on the bright lights...
RadioFloyd235 None it’s Narc from Antics
@@ccdevin good. That means my turn on the bright lights knowledge is still intact.

Thank you, genius! I love Interpol so much! Finally something different! And I absolutely love the new album.
I'm so happy they finally put a band of substance
What an decent, well-read man.
BECAUSE FRIENDS DON'T WASTE WINE WHEN THERE'S WORDS TO SELL
YOU'RE SO CUTE WHEN YOU'RE SEDATED, DEAR.
LOL
@Mia Jenkins still cute lol
@Mia Jenkins he just turned 40 you dumb bitch.
Sleep tight, grim rite. We've got two thousand couches, where you can sleep tonight!!! (I skipped the repeat on the refrain, I know.)
@Mia Jenkins first off , those are lyrics to a song and second, stfu
Weird I never thought a rock musician would be on genius. Or never seen a person who does rock music .
I'm happy, though, cause not only was it cryptic but also hard to understand verbally.
RadioFloyd235 None me too , I like Interpol, not a big fan but I have a few songs I like evil and cmere
Sherbert The destroyer check out obstacle 1 and 2, Roland, Stella was a diver and pda if you’re interested in trying some more songs of theirs, those are really good ones
Lmao people crying about not knowing interpol but they still eat up each flavour of the month meme rapper
aaa oh shut up. I checked the comments so far and there ain’t anyone crying. just you stirring up bs.
@@SevenBlades fuck off weeb
aaa damn, you getting salty for being called out.

Shit on the garbage rappers, but respect the ones who put in genuine work and create new and distinct sounds apart from the mainstream bullshit
Nemo Dollaz lol @ RHCP having good lyrics
Idiot
The rover is such a tune man one of my favourite songs from this band
I would have preferred evil to be explained by Interpol, that was has so many messages I don't understand
Look up Fred West the serial killer. Although what i wanted to know about it was who Sandy is
The video is a reference to Ian Curtis right?
@@maxroberts2029 It's not about a serial killer. And it's Sandy in the same way as "honey".
@@ddddvvid Explain it then pls D:
@@Nedy_0 I don't how to explain that in english. If you speak spanish, check 'Evil' in the V.L.M. channel. He explain that in the comentary section.
YEAH, TODAY MY HEART SWINGS
"BUT I DON'T WANNA TAKE YOUR HEART"
AND I DON'T WANT A PIECE OF HISTORY
Oh hey, Genius decided to interview actual musicians!
Soooooo fake
yall the reals for getting interpol on here
TONIGHT IM GONNA RESTTT MY CHEMISTRYYY
"My best friend's from Poland and oh he has a beard"
Turn on the bright lights still bumps in the whip

SHEEEE'SSS FAAAAAATT
such a big message in just a 3 min song, now that's an actual lyric writing genius
I have watched this video many times, I just want more of Paul talking tbh, I enjoy the simple things.
Yo Genius,
You need to have Paul depict all of turn on the bright lights now! Please!
Great video!
Now i can rest in peace
Ahhh Paul banks im screaming!!! 😭😘💕💕💕💕💕
Paul Banks is my cult!:D
Oh yeah Interpol
A man of culture
we need a special genius with Interpol all we can die in pace , with tunes from the antics and TOTBL
AND UM HE HAS A BEARD
I don't think it says "um", I might be wrong, though. It's from Roland, right?
it's either um, uh, or oh so take yr pick I guess
@@FailMatt for me it was more like an extended "and"
MAYBE IT'S TIME WE GIVE SOMETHING NEW A TRY
SO SWOON BABY STARRY NIGHTS
Good to see some lyrics on this show that aren't fully understandable by the second chorus
I WILL SURPRISE YOU SOME TIME I COME AROUND
"WHEN YOU'RE DOWN"
dirk tiggly (no more lyrics so I guess)
*guitar and drums sound*
Bro so goated....Since A Kid I’ve looked up to paul! love interpol forever
OH LOOK IT STOPPED SNOWING
These lyrics are basically an art
And there I was at the concert, All In. Can’t wait to go again soon.
Thanks for this
LOVEEEEEE INTERPOLLLL
Nothing like sunglasses inside
Well, that was unexpected
I JUST LOVE THE COMMENTS SINGING ANY RANDOM INTERPOL SONG
interpol? whats next, The Strokes?
Mac demarco maybe?
better than whatever meme rapper is on the come up
I LOVE THE STROKES OMG
FEAST YOUR EYES IM THE ONLY ONE
why this dude look like he just killed John Wick's dog ?
I never thought I’d see the day...
OH HOW I LOVE YOU ..AND IN THE EVENING WHEN WE ARE SLEEPING.... WE ARE SLEEPING , OH, WE ARE SLEEPING ❤️
Julian casablanca next
This is a turning point opportunity
Take it! Get out!
whoa...I mean really cool he's explaining the lyrics, I was kinda putting my own meaning to it.
Me suelto, me suelto, me suelto en el deshacer...
te amo Paul Banks
Al puro perder el ganar no compara, me suelto, me suelto en el deshacer…
"He barely has to seek repentants" This line is telling a lot about how people are easily relate to these fucked up cult stuff and become insane as well.
Wow I haven’t listened to these guys in years glad to know they’re still active 😝 fuck yeah interpol!
how have I not seen this interview yet 💛💛💛
Because it is artificial intelligence and it was just made
waiting for Banks & Steelz
Thanks for this!
One of the few genius that Genius actually got on the show 😂
i’ve never heard of this guy i just clicked bc he’s cute
molly shearer listen to turn on the bright lights they’re first album there’s not a song on it I don’t like
Back when genius had *actual* artists in their videos
My love's a laboratory
I set all my pets free
So baby you should sleep with me
I make trips to the bathroom
Yeah my friends all have true grit
I am speckled like a leopard
Put a lid on Shirley Temple
Yeah you make sleek kills
Yeah you travel you travel
You park me in your buick
You sing songs into my lips
Well I am speckled like a leopard
Just like a leopard
Trust will get you down
I love the way
You put me in the big house
I love the way
You put me in the big house
LOVE CAN GET YOU DOWN!!!!

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@brajhansolis6270 SAY IT NOW
Can we get a biopic about Interpol and Norman Reedus as Paul Banks?
Artificial intelligence
Your lyrics have much more meaning in my head, don't worry....
The 90% of the audience will be like who tf is this guy
Луис Анхель yea, but they expanded their audience
ILY
To some trivial or offensive commentators I would say that sometimes it is much better to stay silent rather than reveal its own inconsistency!
Love vids
These comments are fucking brilliant
YES MORE INTERPOL
OKAYYYYY????..........
Dopeeee!
Damn, so if you getting rock people, the mars volta needs to decode their lyrics and their experimental shit is too amazing. Get curry on here some more and maybe pull the chili peppers, itd be too sick
