Lyrics: Vampire Weekend - Capricorn 0:01 Verse 1 Can't reach the moon now Can't turn the tide The world looked different When God was on your side Who builds the future? Do they care why? I know you're tired of tryin' Listen clearly, you don't have to try 0:29 Chorus Capricorn The year that you were born Finished fast And the next one wasn't yours Too old for dyin' young Too young to live alone Sifting through centuries For moments of your own 1:23 Verse 2 Alone and wounded But in my prime I called the hospital They didn't have the time I'd seen it comin' It's no surprise I know you're tired of tryin' Listen clearly, you don't have to try 1:51 Chorus Capricorn The year that you were born Finished fast And the next one wasn't yours Too old for dyin' young Too young to live alone Sifting through centuries For moments of your own 2:46 Verse 3 A hundred dollars On someone's dime I looked for answers there They weren't mine to find Good days are comin' Not just to die I know you're tired of tryin' Listen, baby, you don't have to try 3:13 Chorus Capricorn The year that you were born Finished fast And the next one wasn't yours Too old for dyin' young Too young to live alone Sifting through centuries For moments of your own 3:40 Outro Capricorn The year that you were born Finished fast And the next one wasn't yours Too old for dyin' young Too young to live alone Sifting through centuries For moments of your own

[@ReeseCampbell-rm7nc]

What do you think he means by Capricorn being a "year"

[@ReeseCampbell-rm7nc]

@Deathstroke-zm4vt Great interpretation. Actually in an interview, Ezra explains that he is not into astrology but wondered what astrology sign is at the very end of December because those people don't really get to be in their year for very long, hence "the year that you were born finished fast and the next one wasn't yours". But what's funny is that most of the Capricorn sun sign falls in January and it it the exact opposite for them, to those Capricorns, the year that they were born will not finish fast.
