I want your silent parts
the parts that the birds love
I know there�s such a place
I had my back turned,
you didn�t realize I�m lonely
You lack the things
to which I relate
But I see no harm.
Come �way, come �way, come �way
It�s over.
And 1, 2, 3
When I�m feeling lazy, it's probably because
I�m saving all my energy to pick up when you
Move into my airspace
Move into my airspace
Something�s coming over me
I see you in the doorway
I cannot control the part of me that swells up when you
Move into my airspace
Move into my airspace
But each night,
I bury my love around you
Oh each night,
I bury my love around you
You're linked to my innocence
This is a concept
This is a bracelet
This isn�t no intervention
This is a concept
This is a bracelet
This isn�t no intervention
This isn't you yet
What you thought was such a conquest
Your hair is so pretty and red
Baby, baby, you're really the best
Can I get to this way, I think so
Can I get to this way, I think so
Can I get to this way? Can I get to this way?
Can I get to this way? Can I get to this way?
We should take a trip now to see new places
I'm sick of this town and I've seen my faces change
We should take a trip to see new places
I'm sick of this town, I've seen my faces change
(each night I bury my love around you)
Say hello, say hello to the angels
Say hello, say hello to the angels
the parts that the birds love
I know there�s such a place
I had my back turned,
you didn�t realize I�m lonely
You lack the things
to which I relate
But I see no harm.
Come �way, come �way, come �way
It�s over.
And 1, 2, 3
When I�m feeling lazy, it's probably because
I�m saving all my energy to pick up when you
Move into my airspace
Move into my airspace
Something�s coming over me
I see you in the doorway
I cannot control the part of me that swells up when you
Move into my airspace
Move into my airspace
But each night,
I bury my love around you
Oh each night,
I bury my love around you
You're linked to my innocence
This is a concept
This is a bracelet
This isn�t no intervention
This is a concept
This is a bracelet
This isn�t no intervention
This isn't you yet
What you thought was such a conquest
Your hair is so pretty and red
Baby, baby, you're really the best
Can I get to this way, I think so
Can I get to this way, I think so
Can I get to this way? Can I get to this way?
Can I get to this way? Can I get to this way?
We should take a trip now to see new places
I'm sick of this town and I've seen my faces change
We should take a trip to see new places
I'm sick of this town, I've seen my faces change
(each night I bury my love around you)
Say hello, say hello to the angels
Say hello, say hello to the angels

This is a bracelet
This isn't no intervention
Second thought for this portion. This is an idea to restrain her, because he feels his relationship is over...she in not the one intervening on his relationship. He knows it's over. He wants to end it and be with her. That makes more sense.
I want your silent parts
the parts that the birds love
(He wants inside her head. Where we go off in the clouds. He literally means birds...not dirty birds.)
I know there's such a place
I had my back turned,
you didn't realize I'm lonely
(He's glimpsed/heard her psyche, while his attention was on a stale relationship. He was listening and she didn't know he was lonely.)
You lack the things
to which I relate
But I see no harm.
(They're different, but she interests him.)
Come away, come away, come away
It's over.
And 1, 2, 3
(He wants her to go with him because his relationship is over. He wants her.)
When I'm feeling lazy, it's probably because
I'm saving all my energy to pick up when you
Move into my airspace
Move into my airspace
(He's preparing for her)
Somethings coming over me
I see you in the doorway
I cannot control the part of me that swells up when you
Move into my airspace
Move into my airspace
(When he sees her his heart swells...maybe his other organ, too. ;) But, this is really referring to all those intense feelings of attraction that swell up when we see someone we're in love with.)
But each night,
I bury my love around you
(People, if this part was about penetration he would have buried his love INSIDE her not AROUND her. He's dropping hints of his love for her, but he's still hiding it)
Oh each night,
I bury my love around you
You're linked to my innocence
(Purity)
This is a concept
This is a bracelet
This isn't no intervention
(I agree...this portion stinks, but here's what I think...Interpol reminds me of the police. He makes references in his songs like, "Please, police me." One of the meanings for the definition of braclet is "handcuffs". So it could mean, that this is an idea to restrain her from looking elsewhere. It's not to delay her or come in between whomever she may be interested. He wants her to quit looking and wait for him. There's no need for him to intervene because he knows he is the right one for her.)
This isn't you yet
What you thought was such a conquest
(When she realizes he wants her, she's gonna be more fulfilled with him and the guy she was aiming for won't seem like such a conquest anymore.)
Your hair is so pretty and red
Baby, baby, you're really the best
(Flattery)
Can I get to this way, I think so
Can I get to this way, I think so
Can I get to this way? Can I get to this way?
Can I get to this way? Can I get to this way?
(He's trying to figure out how they can be together.)
We should take a trip now to see new places
I'm sick of this town and I've seen my faces change
(He's stressed out and restless, he wants to go explore the world with her.)
Say hello, say hello to the angels
Say hello, say hello to the angels
(He thinks she is an angel from Heaven and is saying to greet the other angels where she is at.)
He´s definetely sayin´ that when he´s seeing someone he cannot control the part of him that swells up...
So he likes the person. But he´s also singing: I´m saving my energy to pick up (maybe from that place, from that chair ... by me - go away)
Every night he´s burying their love.
Baby you are really the best (should it be about sex? Can be... but I think it´s not. She´s best, she can be the best. She can have a nice hair and red hair, whatever)
Then he´s living the city, because he´s sick by the city and he saw that his faces are changing...
Say hello to the angles ...
I can say that right now I see it this way:
He likes someone, but he wants to say hello to the angles (figuratively be good, figuratively get into the heaven)
So he bury their love each night (he´s in celibate, when you want to say it in funny way)
And he thinks that this is the way which he can get there ... ...
So he´s good and he isn´t having sex with someone ´cause he wants to say hello to the angles.
My interpretation.
It's like somebody that sold their soul to the devil.
Your hair i so pretty and red ,boys never notice how ur hair looks so this is a hint that the boy is really in love of the girl hahahahahha
Can I get to this way, I think so ( sex,can I do this or that?yes why not,another reason why the girl is so great, she is so sexual (her hair is red color which is realted to passion)
We should take a trip now to see new places, trips that u do when your partner, u start to plan a trip when u really are commited to a person I believe..
Say hello, say hello to the angels (in spanish,the angels means Los Angeles,so,they went to L.A)
"I want your silent parts the parts that the birds love" means that he was attracted to her physically, rather than emotionally at first.
"I know there�s such a place I had my back turned,you didn�t realize I�m lonely" He knows what love feels like, but he didnt realize how good he had it, and now he's lonely without her.
"You lack the things to which I relate But I see no harm.Come �way, come �way, come �way It�s over. And 1, 2, 3" Means that they didnt connect well at first, just pure physical attraction, but it still worked. And then, suddenly she ended it.
"When I�m feeling lazy, it's probably because I�m saving all my energy to pick up when you Move into my airspace Move into my airspace" means that when his lover walks into the room, he gets a burst of energy from them, like butterflies.
"Something�s coming over me I see you in the doorway I cannot control the part of me that swells up when you Move into my airspace Move into my airspace" means that he can't control how he feels for her, he gets the butterflies as he/she moves into the room.
"But each night,
I bury my love around you
Oh each night,
I bury my love around you
You're linked to my innocence" He still thinks about her every night, and is his first true love, the one he will never get over.
"This is a concept
This is a bracelet
This isn�t no intervention
This is a concept
This is a bracelet
This isn�t no intervention" Means that he doesnt want to mess up the relationship/way of life his lover's in right no, but he wants to tell her how he feels.
"This isn't you yet
What you thought was such a conquest
Your hair is so pretty and red
Baby, baby, you're really the best" She hasnt told him how she feels, but he's in love with her-in beauty&more. And theres nobody that competes.
"We should take a trip now to see new places
I'm sick of this town and I've seen my faces change
We should take a trip to see new places
I'm sick of this town, I've seen my faces change
(each night I bury my love around you)" He wants to start over, he's sick of all the other small relationships he's tried out after her. He's still in love with her.
"Say hello, say hello to the angels
Say hello, say hello to the angels" The future: him starting over with her.
Atleast this is what this song means to me...
i love paul banks,
his voice is incredible.
Two incredible songs.
and i agree they both are pretty incredible.
Hadn't seen the show in nearly a decade, but this song reminded me of it.
