The Strokes: Ize of the World Meaning

Ize of the World Lyrics

I think I know what you mean but watch what you say 'cause they'll be trying
to knock you down in some way. Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep.
How do you wake someone up from inside a dream?
Your mind would wander and search for...

   I think the meaning of the song is just straight forward I mean if you look at the lyrics most of the ize are mostly done by the government then again it's my opinion. One of the things that leads me to this is with the beginning lyrics which say " I think I know what you mean but watch what you say cause they'll be trying to knock you down in some way" this basically saying just keep quiet cause if you don't they'll shut you up

   Ize of the World is all about how we do the same things day after day. We are all trying to find our place in this world, but really everything just goes around in circles. You may discover new places and things, but really life is just a circle, where you live and die. You are never done doing anything, and will do something else the next day, but it is really the same. When Julian is cut off in the end, I believe that it symbolizes the circle of everything being disrupted.
   
   Remember, this is just my interpretation, you can interpret it however you like. :)
