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
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.

I'd never even hurt you if I could
The statement that causing harm is undesirable and will not happen

The jackass Emperor again....this is where his obsession started getting out of control. I don't even think he realizes that he's obsessing over her.
I love these two together....They're so sweet and innocent right here. Fuheng is too funny. He almost had me convinced that I was dreaming too....lol It was a cute little trick until his friend ruined it...lol Yingluo was so confused and he was enjoying every minute of it. The look of confusion on her face when she thought she was dreaming about him was priceless. She was so embarrassed at the thought that she subconsciously dreamt about Fuheng. I wish the euphoria would've lasted a little longer because Fuheng was really enjoying himself.
