You're So Right
The Strokes攀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me what happened
Tell me what happened
Tell me what happened
If you like
Get off on the same floor
Get off on the same floor
Get off on the same floor
Every night

What are the reasons
What are the reasons
What are the reasons
To follow
I wanna tell you
I wanna tell you
I wanna tell you
Nothing

In my eye, even though
They are worms in the dirt

I'm done with the office
I'm done with the office
I'm done with the office
Hello, forest

I still want to ask you
I still want to ask you
I still want to ask you
Something more

In my eye, even though
They are worms in the dirt

I don't want to fight
Don't wanna beg
You and me

I don't want to fight
Don't wanna beg
You and me

I don't want to fight
Don't wanna beg
You and me
Why?

I don't wanna argue
I don't wanna argue
I don't wanna argue
Think you would
I wouldn't hurt you




I wouldn't hurt you
I'd never even hurt you if I could

Overall Meaning

The Strokes's song You're So Right is a ambiguous masterpiece, with lyrics whose meaning is open to interpretation. The song starts off with lead singer Julian Casablancas asking someone to tell him what happened, as if something has gone wrong and he's trying to piece together the situation. He then suggests that they both get off on the same floor every night, perhaps referring to a sexual encounter or an office routine that they share. However, he quickly dismisses this idea by saying "what are the reasons to follow", implying that he doesn't quite know what he wants.


The lyrics then take a strange turn with the line "in my eye, even though they are worms in the dirt". This could be interpreted in various ways, but it seems to suggest that the singer is seeing beauty in something that is normally considered unpleasant or repulsive. The metaphorical meaning of this line is left up to the listener's interpretation.


The chorus of the song repeats the lines "I don't want to fight, don't want to beg, you and me, why?" This could be interpreted as the singer trying to maintain a peaceful relationship without tension or conflict, but not fully understanding why that's important. Overall, You're So Right is a complex and enigmatic song that showcases The Strokes's unique songwriting style.

昨晚看了「傲世真龍」,唯一一套男主沒被打臉,並早早已經表明身分。

新鳳 田

于光頭演的真好,完全表現出了強國人的現實情況。

alan Lai

我尚未看完全劇, 但不要說結局是絕世強龍還要這個賤女人!!!

Jin Rong Liang

莫名其妙這样的女人还值得爱!

Top Tick - Brawl Stars

男主的隐忍和对外的不屑及角色定位还好,但剧情残缺,前后太多都无交待。

Xiao tian

能不能来个直接离婚的剧情,莫名其妙又没什么感情 天天去被羞辱。

Humphrey Chan

這套劇成日被刪,之後又上載。

Ade Iskandar

Pemeran utama benar-benar tidak ada ketegasan,, udah jelas sering disalahkan dan direndahkan tapi tetep saja mau menolong keluarga bodoh,!
benar-benar drama pembodohan👎👎👎

周永昌

爛劇就一定要有一個腦殘軟弱的女主,而男主還愛得要死

alan Lai

這女子認定張少幫了她家這麼多, 不被上了才不合理呀!!!!
