During a press conference in Mexico City, Interpol’s frontman Paul Banks stated that Marauder’s album cover has a lot in common with opening track, “If You Really Love Nothing” as it really speaks to the idea and character of the “Marauder,” who is an isolated and vulnerable character.
During the s...
[Verse 1]
If you really love nothing
On what future do we build illusions?
If you really love nothing
Do we wait in silent glory?
If you really love nothing
What part of betrayal do you wish to deny?
[Chorus]
When I find my home

Splendid, I bled my whole life
So it’s probably a kiss
Goodbye then
[Verse 2]
If you really love nothing
Everybody’s made up
Everybody’s losing
If you really love nothing

If you really love nothing
How could you be there?

[Chorus]
When I find my home
The next artery
Splendid, I bled my whole life
So it’s probably a kiss
Goodbye then
It's goodbye then
You can trace a hole upon your dress
On your dress
On your dress

The week’s end grading
Better than seven other men
Wayward from women who break dimensions
I know that you could just leave forever
[Chorus]
When I find my home
The next artery
Splendid, I bled my whole life
So it’s gonna be a kiss
Goodbye then
This is goodbye then
[Outro]
You can trace a hole upon your dress
And give me goodbye and a kiss
I see you trace that hole upon your chest
Give me goodbye and a kiss
