"Silently obsessed with it, just like anyone I guess"

Honestly, it almost sounds like he's saying, "silently obsessed with death" to me, but that seems a little dark for a Strokes song...

Hi everyone. I absolutely LOVE this song so I spent ages yesterday trying to work the lyrics out. I think I've cracked them, so here is my version:

I wanna be outrageous but inside I know I'm plain so plain, just plain Boring and plain

Silently obsessed with death(or debt?-unlikely) just like anyone I guess Trying for the perfect life End up being in denial

I wanna be somebody, wanna be somebody like you like you, like you Like you, instead of me
