Take me home

Just do it right
Make it perfect and real
Because it's everything
No everything was never the deal

So grab your things and stumble into the night
So we can shut the door
Oh, shut the door on terrible times

Yeah, do it right
And head again into space
So you can carry on
And carry on, and fall all over the place

This is the trick, forget a terrible year
That we can break the laws
Until it gets weird

And this is what you waited for
But under lights, we're all unsure
So tell me
What would make you feel better?

As night has such a local ring
And love and rock are pick-up things
And you know it
Yeah, you know it
Yeah, you know

Take

Forget your past
This is your last chance now
And we can break the rules
Like nothing will last

You might forget
Forget the sound of a voice
Still you should not forget
Yeah, don't forget
The things that we laughed about

And after rolling on the floor
And thankfully, a few make sure that you get home
And you stay home
And you better

'Cause you're afraid of what you need
Yeah, you're afraid of what you need
If you weren't, yeah you weren't
Then I don't know what we'd talk about

Yeah no one ever knows what you're talking about
So i guess you're already there
No one opens up when you scream and shout
But it's time to make a couple things clear

If you're afraid of what you need
If you're afraid of what you need
Look around you, you're surrounded
It won't get any better

Until the night

    General Comment:This song always gives me the feeling off walking home late at night/early in the morning in NYC. Somehow it transmits the idea of dead streets slowly coming to life, traffic building up, things coming to life - and all you want to do is go to bed.

    General Comment:Yeah, I guess if you watch the video this song becomes clearer. Its a goodbye song from the band that portrays the evolution of the breakup and explains why they took the decision of "going home" in the peak of success. How being a successful band demanded their complete devotion to please the audience and give a perfect show everytime, as well as the constant touring and excesses inherent to being a rockstar that was causing internal destruction as well as their disintegration as human beings and band. They all wanted what lcd soundsystem gave them, but the price was everything, and you know, everything was never the deal. I think that most of this song however, actually talks about the band´s discussion of breaking apart, they are unsure if they actually need the lcd soundsystem rockstar lifestyle, i mean in the end it is a musicians dream to have made it like they did, and they are actually unsure if this is a necessity for them, and if they actually need it, it is going to be very difficult to give it up, but what they do know is that they actually fear the lifestyle´s side effects and the internal destruction it brings. So the question is: are you afraid of what you need? because if you do, well it is a big issue and it is going to tear you apart. So they say ok, this is our last chance now, are we going to leave this all behind or not, do you want this life and the sacrifices required, being lcd soundsystem gives us the advantage of breaking the rules until it gets weird or like nothing will last, and all of that will be gone. Whatever the decision is, they have to make things clear, either they go home and finish this or they have to make peace with themselves and accept the sacrifices. They are trying to convince themselves of not fearing what they need saying look around you, were surrounded, and it wont get any better. In the video it is better explained...

    General Comment:I think this one is just about being comfortable... Maybe being stuck in a rut or something. Like your habits have taken over your goals? And you see that it's happening to you, but you plan on breaking free of it, and becoming what you want.

    General Comment:Hmm, I always thought it was "And love and rock are fickle things." That sounds more correct to me than "pick up things," which makes no sense.

    General Comment:if i were to ever become a dj at a club or something, i would obviously close the night with this. its the Closing Time for electronic music, not to mention that its a much better song than Closing Time

    General Comment:I think this song is about LCD's breakup/retirement. In the music video the robot is the band. They know that they should move on (for whatever reason,) but they know they'll regret it. (afraid of what you need.)

    Staying together won't solve anything because even though it's fun partying and being a band and having everyone fawning over you, inevitably the whole experience just becomes dirty and unattractive. they feel like they have a connection with their audience, but no one can actually have a relationship with a crowd of people. (Yeah no one ever knows what you're talking about, so i guess you're already there. No one opens up when you scream and shout)

    It's time to move on. It is also fitting that this is the last track of the last album.

    General Comment:this song is about life in general..friends, love, mistakes, drugs/alcohol.. making the best of what we have in our life.. it says it in the last line..

    If you're afraid of what you need
    If you're afraid of what you need
    Look around you, you're surrounded
    It won't get any better

    not to look at it in a negative way..but to realize that what we have been offereed in this life is beautiful..and to make the best of it.. :]
    this was the song of the year for me and a couple friends..well exfriends now.. i hope that one day 'you' and i can come together again.. i miss you. 'Home' <3
