About This Track

'Gran Hotel' by Interpol is an alternative track from the album 'The Other Side of Make-Believe' (2022). The lyrics place a narrator on the streets of Cozumel, where time feels slow and the world reflects back in glowing, almost ritualised images. They circle around questions of loyalty and belonging, asking, “Will you be faithful?” as they look for an origin, then dismiss the whole pursuit as obsolete. The overall effect is yearning but guarded, caught between romantic intention and the abrupt sense that it cannot hold.

"Gran Hotel" is a single by Interpol, from the album The Other Side of Make-Believe, released 14th July 2022. The track is 4:04 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 15 articles about Interpol.

Lyrics

Gran Hotel

On the streets of Cozumel where my age is slow
The mirror treats my light to a great refrain
On the streets of Cozumel where the faces glow
I would gladly give my life to be there

So close on taking notes on my brain
Will you be faithful? Will you be my origin?
All this is obsolete gardens are burning
'Cause I'll do anything to know you're here again

On the streets of Cozumel where my age is slow
The mirror treats my light to a great refrain
On the streets of Cozumel where the faces glow
I would gladly give my life to be there, to be there

All that we got to be is candid and gentle to be certified
And I've really loved to mentor
Sometimes it's hard to be expansive
Need to free some light to enter, reflections ethereal to render

I see you in everything
I see you in everything
I see you in everything
I'll be there

I see you in everything
I see you in everything
I see you in everything
To my truly vacant heart

I see you in everything
I see you in everything
I see you in everything
I'll be there, I'll be there

I see you in everything
I see you in everything
I would gladly give my life
To be there, I'll be there
