| probably about a prostitute who the singer sees about/knows and eventually ends up sleeping with.. by the way the song ends.. sounds like its talking about sex directly | |

| according to interpolny.com the lyrics go something like this... When she walks down the street, She knows there's people watching. The building fronts are just fronts To hide the people watching her But she once fell through the street Down a manhole in that bad way The underground drip Was just like her scuba days Days Daze Days Daze She was all right because the sea was so airtight, she broke away She is all right but she can't come out tonight, she broke away She was all right, yeah the sea was so tight, air tight She broke away, broke away At the bottom of the ocean she dwells At the bottom of the ocean she dwells From crevices caressed by fingers And fat blue serpent swells Stella, Stella, Stella, Stella I love you Chorus Well, she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver She went down down down there into the sea, Yeah she went down down down there, down there for me, right on So good, oh yeah, right on (There's something that's invisible, There's some things you can't hide, Try detect you when I'm sleeping, In a wave you say goodbye...) | |

| i think incu is right, but maybe not a full blown hooker, just a girl with low-self confidence/self-esteem who lives in Paul's neighborhood. Everytime a man wanted some action they would find "Stella" who would use these intamate sessions to make herself feel loved. | |

| the pitchfork interview w/ interpol says: Pitchfork: Who's Stella, if anybody? I was wondering if it was a reference to, or was inspired by A Streetcar Named Desire. Paul: Which is one of my favorite movies. It's not, and I don't know when we wrote that if I had really seen it. I probably had seen it, but no, it's not. I love the name. I went through a phase where I was fixated on girls names that, for me, kind of represented something. So in "Precipitate", Daphne is the character. It was actually more to do with certain female names that were really interesting to me. I had another song about a girl named Kat, too, but no, I don't know [a Stella] and it's not directly related to that film, even though I love that film. | |
