Vampire Weekend - Sympathy Lyrics
I think I took myself too serious. It's not that serious.
Alone in someone's bedroom
She firmly took my hand
The isolation ended
In the ping-pong match of constant desire
I was never gonna get ahead
'Cause I was looking in the mirror
Now we've got that sympathy
What I'm to you, you are to me
Let's go
Judeo-Christianity
Enemies for centuries
Until there was a third
In the ping-pong match of constant desire
I was never gonna get ahead
'Cause I was looking in the mirror
Now we've got that sympathy
What I'm to you, you are to me
Diego Garcia
Surrounded by the waves
Lonely in the ocean
But in every other way
It was full of love
And the warmest fellow-feeling
Now we've got that sympathy
What I'm to you, you are to me
Let's go
But I knew where to start
Explaining to you patiently
That the one who broke my heart
Would have broken yours
And thrown the pieces in the river
Now we've got that sympathy
What I'm to you, you are to me
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
Desperate for an enemy
But too afraid to kill
Use the pain of someone else
And triumph for their will
And spill the blood of the arrogant mosquitoes
Now we've got that sympathy
What I'm to you, you are to me
Let's go

Vampire Weekend Sympathy Comments
R1s Indie Shows been playing this one for months
Mais qu'elle est moche cette chanson. Décousue, sonorité moches. Chaque fois que ça passe à France Inter je tourne le bouton. Pourquoi passer de la chanson étrangère moche ?
Es perfecta, la mejor canción del álbum!
Good stuff.
Just so great fore a apple commurcial
Antena 3...
low key can someone suggest more music similar to this (the song specifically, not just Vampire Weekend :D)
Long Train Running - Doobie Brothers. Is pretty similar and an amazing song
i like :3
I'm seriously incapable of listening to this song just once lol, I have to play it at least 3 times in a row ! So good
Suicide Blonde? Anyone? Love this jam though...
Great song i was at you’re concert at Amsterdam 😃😃😃
I have reached Nirvana.
And yet, I can't hear this song without thinking also of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iCaDuGye_I
Slaps harder than my mother when I got 89% on a quiz.
S’ssup
Every time I listen to this song (probably around 20 times so far) it strikes me again how inventive, original, and funky these dudes (and dudettes?) are. Great lyrics and great music. Thanks, Vampire Weekend!
I hear some Gorillaz influence
This watch tells time. (Among other things.)
Saludos desde Perú.
Amo esta canción
Apple Watch 5 brought me here
this watch tells time
APPLE WAAAAAAATCH
Finally, just to reiterate. This. Watch. Tells. Time. Among other things....
Apple Watch Series 5 brings me here.
Lazy ripoff of Long Train Running by the Doobie Brothers.
I don't understand how, whoever wrote this song didn't instantly recognize that.
Seriously. How . The bandmembers are that music history ignorant that someone didn't raise his hand and say, 'uhhh, guys...'

Good artist copy, great artist steal
The tone has changed, but the rhythm is definitely "Long Train Running"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP_NE4XZGAc
Reminds me of Doobie Brothers - Long Train Runnin'.
Yeah, I caught that too, although I had the title of the Doobie Bros song wrong. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they get sued.
Apple watch series 5 !
Apple watch series 5
And it can play sympathy. Among other things.
Apple Watch.
Oh yeahh my bois got featured in the Apple Watch 5 trailer
And, it can also tell time. Apple event?
My brain: "What a good song to present Apple Watch Series 5"
I watch series 5.?
Suena en Radio Doble 9
Lima Peru!
This one SLAPS live, real talk
honest!!!! with the red lights and everything
teddy forance brought me here!
I don’t know why, but I’m getting Beatles vibes from this.
Reminds me of the Last Shadow Puppets
Easily the best on the album
Ezra proving he can create a masterpiece to any melody/genre. I love the beat switch at the end, he could have been a prolific DJ lol
Someone *please* tell me what that is at 1:26 and the last segment?
we all get hype to the "Now we've got that sympathy, what I'm to you, you are to me, LETS GO" right
the worst album cover award
This is a vibe. A mood.
they opened the Glastonbury set with this and it goes HARD
Please I'm going crazy the part efter he says let's go sounds like another song but i can't think of what
I like the sound but I remember liking it more 10 years ago - when The Cat Empire released it.
this is good song
I think I take myself too serious
It's not that serious
Alone in someone's bedroom
She firmly took my hand
The isolation ended
I began to understand
In the ping-pong match of constant desire
I was never gonna get ahead
'Cause I was looking in the mirror
Now we've got that sympathy
What I'm to you
You are to me
Let's go
Judeo-Christianity
I'd never heard the words
Enemies for centuries
Until there was a third
In the ping-pong match of constant desire
I was never gonna get ahead
'Cause I was looking in the mirror
Now we've got that sympathy
What I'm to you
You are to me
Let's go
Diego García
Surrounded by the waves
Lonely in the ocean
But in every single way
It was full of love
In the warmth fed a feeling
Now we've got that sympathy
What I'm to you
You are to me
Let's go
I didn't have your sympathy
But I knew where to start
Explaining to you patiently
That the one who broke my heart
Would have broken yours
And thrown the pieces in the river
Now we've got that sympathy
What I'm to you
You are to me
Let's go
Desperate for an enemy
But too afraid to kill
Use the pain of someone else
And triumph for their will
And spill the blood
Of the arrogant mosquitoes
Now we've got that sympathy
What I'm to you
You are to me
Let's go
Thanks!!!
parts sound copied from Kurt Vile - "Pretty Pimpin"
Easily the best song on the album. Such a fantastic hook, great lyrics — the total package.
😍😍😍❤️🎵🎶
This song NEEDS to be in an Umbrella Academy episode amiright?
Song for Fifa 20 please!
unlike anything theyve ever done before
Hipster Matador Music
best comment for this song :D
Ok, that guy is me.
Doobie Brothers should sue them for plagiarism
was just broken up with this morning and this is the only song thats making me feel okayish
Best song on the album hands down
Keep my words,
this song will be on the FIFA 19 soundtrack.
lmao solid prediction. Wait you mean Fifa 20
🎶👹🎶
Take a smack of deems to the face right before this song. I promise you will be in heaven. Best thing that has happened to me in a long time.
The whole song is great, but I have to say, the little “RNGGGGG DING DING DING DING DING” has to be my favorite part. It’s so random yet well placed.
1:24 when the Metro doors try to close on your backpack
Fifa material!!!
Sounds like the bass from FADE by KANYE towards the end
There's not a single mediocre song on FOTB but this stands out to me. It's the greatest among the great!
Sounds like the Chris Baio remix of Losing You by Gizmo Varillas
Me maman los amo gracias x esta obra de arte diosito me los cuide
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrUWtOtfwDw
There coming to Chicago and I’m gonna see them, I got the CD of the album and if they play this on the concert
ILL GO CRAZY BITCH
This feels like if Hudson was upbeat
It's a Mad Max soundtrack.
melon when
melon really had to go on tour when this album came out. I NEED TO KNOW SCORE!!!!
The only crappy one
Alex Turner?
Inject this song into my veins
Dude, anyone get The Talking Heads vibes from this one? Nice. :D :) :D :D :)
I think Diego is like San Diego not sure though unless theres a person named Diego Garcia but maybe Diego is the last name of another famous musician or artist like Garcia but I feel like its San Diego because hes referencing waves and the ocean. And the ocean is like a damn character on the album. I love the lyrics on this album some of them are so blunt but in the context of the song and when put together with the rest it makes the lyrics so much more dense
Diego García is an island in the Indian Ocean. The US and the UK kicked out the entire population to create an american basis and a "secret" prison where they torture people and do their shits without witnesses.

This is going to be featured in an apple commercial this year.
