整首歌都在講我們和音樂之間的關係，包括每一個人對ta喜愛的樂隊／歌曲的歸屬感。貫穿全歌詞中的“girl”指的其實就是音樂本身。因此，“Step to my girl”便被賦予了雙重含義——你“走進”你的音樂，沉浸在音樂的節奏中，而其他人也可能愛上你所愛的音樂。
其他的隱喻還包括：
"Ancestors told me that their girl was better" 年長的人會堅持認為他們那個年代的音樂更好，richer and tougher，禁得起時間的考驗。
"The Punks would laugh when they saw us together" 朋克搖滾青年會嘲笑 Ezra 的音樂。
"You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl" - 當你珍愛的音樂不再小眾，進入主流市場後，你會有莫名的失落和憤怒。
‘Maybe she"s gone, and I can"t resurrect her the truth is she doesn"t need me to protect her’、 曾今的專輯已經是過去，無法被“resurrect”，Ezra被批評“一磚不如一磚”，作品已經太過商業化，他的想法是自己不需要去defend，因為音樂會為音樂自身帶鹽。
"Everyone"s dying, but girl you"re not old yet" 聽眾會變老、死去，但是音樂永生。
‘The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out what you on about?’ 二磚後Vampire Weekend被音樂評論界“wise”的磚家們狂噴作品華而不實，脫離現實社會。因此Ezra不禁反問“what you on about?”
‘I"m stronger now, I"m ready for the house’ Ezra比三年前強大了100倍。
‘I just ignored all the tales of a past life Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife’ Ezra嘗試著不被別人的音樂影響，創造自己的風格，那些“過時的/stale”的音樂讓他不屑一顧。
===============================================
Every time I see you in the world, You always step to my girl
Back, back, way back When I used to front like Angkor Wat Mechanicsburg, Anchorage, and Dar es Salaam While home in New York Was champagne and disco Tapes from L.A. slash San Francisco But actually Oakland and not Alameda Your girl was in Berkeley with her communist reader Mine was entombed within boombox and walkman I was a hoarder but girl that was back then
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out What you on about? I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
I"m stronger now, I"m ready for the house Such a modest mouse I can"t do it alone, I can"t do it alone
Every time I see you in the world, You always step to my girl
Ancestors told me That their girl was better She"s richer than Croesus, she"s tougher than leather I just ignored all the tales of a past life Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife And punks who would laugh when they saw us together Well they didn"t know how to dress for the weather I can still see them there, huddled on Astor Snow falling slow to the sound of the master
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out What you on about? I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones I"m stronger now, I"m ready for the house Such a modest mouse I can"t do it alone, I can"t do it alone
Wisdom"s a gift, but you"d trade it for youth Age is an honor -- it"s still not the truth We saw the stars when they hid from the world You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl Maybe she"s gone, and I can"t resurrect her The truth is she doesn"t need me to protect her We know the true death -- the true way of all flesh Everyone"s dying, but girl -- you"re not old yet
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out What you on about? I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones I"m stronger now, I"m ready for the house Such a modest mouse I can"t do it alone, I can"t do it alone
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out What you on about? I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones I"m stronger now, I"m ready for the house Such a modest mouse I can"t do it alone, I can"t do it alone
