I knew the Strokes members did solo things... and I was watching their documentary In Transit, and this song started playing.... Fuck this song is so good!!! No offense Albert but I didn't expect that.
I just read that Albert went to rehab for drug abuse around the time the Strokes started recording "Angles" :( Glad he's clean now though, he's an amazing musician. His solo work was the best out of Julian's, Little Joy, and Nickle Eye. :)
this song makes me think of how life can change in an instant and still be the same. How some1 will make you change but your still the same. life is always changing around us but we have to make a change so that life goes on.
I think this song is about a boy in a relationship who finds that he is also attracted to another girl; 'built too many roads'. Maybe he feels as though he shouldn't like this other girl, but you can't really help how you feel, eh...? He feels he should have 'calmed down', but instead, went 'too far' with it...
Maybe he feels trapped by the choices he has to, or has, made and just wants to be free from it all already.
I think it's more about his failing relationships, whether they are romantic or not. He's tired of trying to please everyone, and he's built too many *walls* that help him avoid having to deal with his problems. He just wants to be free and easy again. Care free....
@omgbitbit I see what your saying and i think it could be interpreted that way but i think its more he was in a relationship but it got really complicated with problems and the “different ways” it could go hence “built too many roads” and this all sorta formed into a great change in his life where he became a better person but at the cost of losing a great love he sorta matured hence “i should have calmed down, i went too far” but then “im free"
amazing . song . needs more views :)
