Not the Same Anymore
The Strokes Lyrics
You're not the same anymore
Don't wanna play that game anymore
You'd make a better window than a door
Oh, the strangers they implore
It gets so easy to ignore
Just like the girl next door
Uncle's house, it was noon
Sorry boy, I can't implore ya
You are strange, but I like you
I promised I would do it right
Her and a boy on a Saturday night
And now the door slams shut
A child prisoner grows up
To seek his enemy's throat cut
I'm on and on it, on and on and on
We're on the way, fuel the jet
Can see that what he wants, he gets
What does your sworn enemy regret?
I didn't know, I didn't care
I don't even understand
Did somethin' wrong, I wasn't sure
Stay on top of this, or else
I was afraid I fucked up
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I couldn't change, it's too late
And now it's time to show up
Late again, I can't grow up
And now, it's on me they've given up
Uncle's house, I forget
Violent tendencies I get
Your timin' sucks, she went overboard
Don't forget, you are insured
I didn't know, I wasn't sure
Can't remember all that well
I couldn't change, was too late
Yeah, yeah, yeah

The band consists of Julian Casablancas (lead vocals), Nick Valensi (lead guitar), Albert Hammond, Jr. (rhythm guitar), Nikolai Fraiture (bass guitar) and Fabrizio Moretti (drums and percussion).

The band consists of Julian Casablancas (lead vocals), Nick Valensi (lead guitar), Albert Hammond, Jr. (rhythm guitar), Nikolai Fraiture (bass guitar) and Fabrizio Moretti (drums and percussion).
Upon the release of their debut album, Is This It, in 2001, the group was met with much critical acclaim, being hailed by some as the "saviors of rock and roll." NME made Is This It their Album of the Year. Since then, the band has maintained a large fan base, notably in the UK, US and Australia. As of 2007, Is This It has sold over 3.5 million copies worldwide.
They released their second album Room on Fire in October 2003, to good reviews, but to less success commercially, although it still went gold. The album's sound maintained the Strokes' familiar reference points, while also evoking groups such as The Cars, Bob Marley, and Blondie. In the process, they made the cover of Spin Magazine for the second time, with each member receiving his own cover. They also made the cover of Rolling Stone for the first time. Additional media coverage of the band came from the relationship between Moretti and actress Drew Barrymore, which ended in January 2007.
In late September 2005, "Juicebox", the first single from The Strokes then unreleased third album, was leaked online, forcing the single's release date to be advanced. The single was then released as an exclusive on online download services. "Juicebox" became The Strokes' second UK Top 10 hit, as well as their second US Modern Rock Top 10 success. During November and December 2005 the Strokes did a promotional tour for the still unreleased album, which involved doing one-off shows in major cities around the world.
Their third album, First Impressions of Earth, was released in January 2006 to mixed reviews and debuted at number four in the US and number one in the UK, a first for the band. In Japan it went gold within the first week of release. It was also the most downloaded album for two weeks on iTunes. Fraiture claimed that the album was "like a scientific breakthrough". In January 2006, the band then made their second appearance on Saturday Night Live playing "Juicebox" and "You Only Live Once".
The Strokes' frontman Julian Casablancas and guitarist Nick Valensi started writing new material for their band's forthcoming new album in the latter stages of January 2009, which they were set to go in the studio to finalize in February of the same year. In February 2010, Julian Casablancas told NME that the band's fourth album was set to be released in September 2010. The release date has been pushed back again, and the album, titled "Angles" will now be released March 22, 2011 in America. The album's first single, "Under Cover of Darkness" was made available as a free download from the band's website on February 9, 2011 for a 48 hour period.
The Strokes' fifth album is called "Comedown Machine" and was released on March 26th 2013 In North America and March 25th in the U.K. The first single is called "All the Time".
They released their first collection of material after their departure from RCA, the Future Present Past EP, in June 2016 through Casablancas' independent Cult Records label.
Later that decade, the Strokes began working with Rick Rubin on a new album. In April 2020 they released their first studio album in seven years, The New Abnormal, through Cult and RCA. Critics generally considered the album a return to form.

Letra en español (la cuarentena me tiene traduciendo todoo jajja)
Ya no eres el mismo
No quiero jugar más a ese juego
Haces mejor una ventana que una puerta
Oh, los extraños que imploran
Se hace tan fácil ignorar
Igual que la chica de al lado
La casa del tío, era mediodía
Perdón chico, no puedo emplearte
Eres un extraño, pero me gustas
Perdón esto está atrasado
Prometí que lo haría bien
Ella y un chico en una noche de sábado
Y ahora la puerta se cierra de un portazo
Un chico prisionero crece
Para buscar el corte de garganta de su enemigo
Estamos en camino, combustible en el jet
Puedo ver lo que él quiere, lo que consigue
¿De qué se arrepiente tu enemigo jurado?
No lo sabía, no me importaba
Ni siquiera lo entendía
Hice algo mal
No estaba seguro
Mantente al tanto de esto, de lo contrario
Tenía miedo
Lo arruiné, sí
No pude cambiarlo, es demasiado tarde
Y ahora es tiempo de mostrarse
Tarde otra vez, no puedo crecer
Y ahora depende de mí que hayan renunciado
La casa del tío, me olvidé
Consigo tendencias violentas
Tu puntualidad apesta
Ella se fue por la borda
No te olvides que estás asegurado
No lo sabía
No estaba seguro
No puedo recordar eso muy bien
No pude cambiarlo, era demasiado tarde, sí
EL Chechox
-¿Valió la pena esperar 7 años por un álbum de The Strokes?
-Valió cada maldito segundo

@Nikolai broke the zoom no jajaja desde 2013
Isabel Diaz Navalon

Mario Duran
Slc os caras são demais. Casablancas arrebentou no vocal. Álbum fantástico 👏
Puyu EM♪
@aisac boy es que es ciertooo
Carolina Kramm Lewandowski
Yaaaassssssssss
Michael
This is definitely a song you need to listen to with headphones to fully hear the beauty in each instrument, especially the bass outro.
Ryan Ransom
I'm not much of a headphone listener but I tried this song with them and man was it beautiful. Small parts I've never really heard while in the car. The ending instrumental had me very introspective
zaidabanksnyc
Totally agree!
