Casablancas is driving this girl to work and the misery of his current relationship status has dawned upon him. He just wants to turn the car around and call it quits with her. He knows that this girl is immature and a waste of time (“never had nothing I wanted”) and yet he’s hopelessly infatuated with her with no idea why (“I want it all I just can’t figure out nothing.”)

If she did wear it.

Despite this girl’s immaturity, Casablancas sees the youthfulness in the girl. She just turned 18, and the obvious sexual overtones in this line suggest that he wants to take her virginity.

As previously stated, Casablancas' girl is very young, so dating her is kind of a nuisance because she hasn’t learned to take care of herself. He has to drive her to work, and since she’s too young to take responsibility for herself, he has to take the fall for her fuck ups.

Casablancas explains the dichotomy of giving a fuck and not giving a fuck in your early 20s. You need to work hard to survive in New York City, yet hard work doesn’t always pay off and sometimes isn’t worth the effort.

The Strokes' Casablancas is going out with a girl who is very young — eighteen, to be precise. Casablancas is a few years older than her and knows a little more about life, and is lecturing her on it. He’s telling her not to take shortcuts in life, to spend money wisely, and the universal truth that no one really cares about how poor your luck is — it’s every man and woman for him/herself. .

Another form of sun worship, an alternative to worshipping, of course, Lucifer, which means “the enlightened one” or “the enlightener/illuminator.”

As read in the Bible decribes how the screams of those whom souls are suffering call out.

Another reference to Lucifer. According to Gnostics, the Serpent is Lucifer, the Messenger of Light.

Describes the fact that Lucifer is always shown as a hidden/deceptive force, one to be disregarded as ‘non existent.
