Holy sh*t y'all, I've had this song in my head for literal months, but only the opening part, absolutely none of the lyrics so I couldn't google it (it was just the intro dunun du du dun repeating guitar riff) but the only place I've ever heard this song was in a music history class my freshman year of high school (so like 2017), and I was so desperate to find out what song it was I emailed that teacher, and even he wasn't sure what song it was, but I told him that it was rock music and that the artist was male (I also vaguely remembered something about it reminded me of lizards, but my brain makes really weird connections and associations so this was not considered a vital piece of information), so he told me a few artists that we studied that fit the criteria, but when each artist has possibly hundreds of songs it was impossible to narrow it down enough to even entertain the idea of finding it, so I gave up. It's a few weeks later now, I'm supposed to be asleep, but I was just thinking about lizards, idk why I just like lizards, and somehow the word reptilia floated into focus just enough for me to, without meaning to, go "hey thats a song title" which I literally have no clue how I even remembered that, but oh my god was it the fastest I've ever gotten out of bed. I'd consider this the most important revelation I've had during quarantine. I absolutely cannot believe I found this song. Edit: Mom I'm famous

De regreso al Futuro hace 20 años estaba por nacer el Room On Fire y entre sus canciones Reptilia seria la canción que me convenceria en hacer música. Reptilia me volo la cabeza y estuvo en los momentos principales de mi vida y ahora que la escucho se me vienen muchos recuerdos. Gracias The Strokes son parte de mis influencias para hacer musica Hoy en dia sigo intentando en hacerlo. Saludos desde México. Parecía impresionado por la forma en que entraste. He seemed impressed by the way you came in "Cuéntanos una historia, sé que no eres aburrido" "Tell us a story, I know you're not boring" Tenía miedo de que no insistieras I was afraid that you would not insist "Suenas con mucho sueño, solo toma esto, ahora déjame" "You sound so sleepy, just take this, now leave me" Dije, por favor no me frenes si voy demasiado rápido I said, please don't slow me down if I'm going too fast Estás en una parte extraña de nuestra ciudad. You're in a strange part of our town Sí, la noche no ha terminado, no te estás esforzando lo suficiente Yeah, the night's not over, you're not trying hard enough Nuestras vidas están cambiando de carril, me sacaste del camino Our lives are changing lanes, you ran me off the road La espera ha terminado, ahora me hago cargo The wait is over, I'm now taking over Ya no te ríes, no me estoy ahogando lo suficientemente rápido You're no longer laughing, I'm not drowning fast enough Ahora cada vez que me miro Now every time that I look at myself "Creí haberte dicho, este mundo no es para ti" "I thought I told you, this world is not for you" La habitación está en llamas mientras ella se arregla el cabello. The room is on fire as she's fixing her hair "Suenas tan enojado, solo cálmate, me encontraste" "You sound so angry, just calm down, you found me" Dije por favor no me frenes si voy demasiado rápido I said please don't slow me down if I'm going too fast Estás en una parte extraña de nuestra ciudad. You're in a strange part of our town Sí, la noche no ha terminado, no te estás esforzando lo suficiente Yeah, the night's not over, you're not trying hard enough Nuestras vidas están cambiando de carril, me sacaste del camino Our lives are changing lanes, you ran me off the road La espera ha terminado, ahora me hago cargo The wait is over, I'm now taking over Ya no te ríes, no me estoy ahogando lo suficientemente rápido You're no longer laughing, I'm not drowning fast enough
