Oblivius
The Strokes Lyrics

Unchain me
Release me from the restrictions holding me back

It's not my midnight yet
I still have time to live my life to the fullest

Act like a wolf but think like a sheep (Wall Street)
Be aggressive like a predator, but follow the crowd and not stand out in the Wall Street culture

Cause this is my bank advice
Listen to my expertise when it comes to handling money

We're gonna give it back to you, some other day
We will repay the borrowed sum later

Take off from the runway
Start a new adventure

Thinking of a sad day
Reflecting on something painful from the past

Racing down the highway
Going forward with life at full speed

Looking at me sideways
Showing suspicious glances towards someone

What side you standing on?
Which side are you choosing in this matter?

I know the way uptown
I am familiar with the urban setting

I'm waiting for the time
I am anticipating a particular event or development

To get you with your pajamas on
To catch or surprise someone in an unprepared moment

Playing with his new toys
Indulging in material possessions, causing others to feel envious

Looking at the sad boys
Feeling empathy towards those who are grieving

And we take what we hide from them
We secretly obtain what we are not meant to have

What do you want from me?
Asking for clarity on the expectations of the situation

Don't wait so long
Don't prolong the decision-making process

They wait too long
They often take too much time and miss the opportunity

I can't stay awake too long
I am tired and need to rest

You never wait for some
You never wait for anyone/something

Other generation
Future generations

I'll wait somewhere alone
I will find a place of solitude to wait

Get it in your head
Understand and remember it

Get out of my way
Move away from me and stop blocking my path

Ohhhh
An exclamation of emotional intensity
