More than two decades into their career, Interpol have returned home to New York with a renewed hunger to make their best music yet. For album eight, perfection is still the only goal.

About This Track
A jaded love song built on the tension between desire and resignation. The narrator watches someone he loves commit to another person, and the lyrics circle the wound without resolution: "It should be me / Oh, it should be me." There's no dramatic climax, no cathartic release. Instead, Interpol lets the bitterness settle in the details, the small intimacies he observes from outside, the evenings when "we are sleeping / We are sleeping," repetition turning ache into rhythm. The song moves between sharp observation and something closer to numbness. A couple walks by a lakeside; he notes the gesture, the stealth, the way some things last and others end fast. The melody doesn't fight the lyric's resignation. It holds steady, measured, letting the weight accumulate through repetition rather than volume. This is post-punk restraint: the refusal to make suffering loud.
