I might be wrong.

And so does Axe Body Spray! Reminds me of this post by Carles:

While Phoenix’s songs are ‘catchy’, it is impossible to decipher ‘what the fuck they are talking about’ in their lyrics. This possibly has to do with a French to English language barrier. Imagine if u had to write ’smart-sounding’ pop lyrics in a foreign language and ended up making weird/forced/generic metaphors in every1 of your songs. Phoenix has sorta turned into Jonas Brothers tween pop for hi level music criticism bros.

Also, tangentially:

It seems like I would hear this song in a local coffee shop when an entry-level barista selects a playlist to try to seem ‘authentic.’ They would also probably play something by the Knife followed by a Fever Ray song, just to prove that they ‘understand’ that the broad from the Knife is Fever Ray.

If you don’t read the site, please know that Carles uses satirical elements in his writing and is very tongue-in-cheek. I guess it’s like the Colbert Report of blogs.

Despite all this, I still think I like Phoenix.
