**__Meaning of Song:__** The "Reptilia" is a scientific term meaning the part of the brain we share with reptiles. It relates to higher-level base instincts and emotions implying that the singer is thinking with this part of his brain and acting on emotion rather than reason.


 * __Review of Song:__** I like this song because it has a really catchy guitar rift in it and is easy to sing along with.

He seemed impressed by the way you came in. "Tell us a story I know you're not boring"
 * __ Lyrics __**

I was afraid that you would not insist. "You sound so sleepy just take this, now leave me"

I said please don't slow me down If I'm going too fast You're in a strange part of our town...

Yeah, the night's not over You're not trying hard enough, Our lives are changing lanes You ran me off the road, The wait is over I'm now taking over, You're no longer laughing I'm not drowning fast enough.

Now every time that I look at myself "I thought I told you this world is not for you"

The room is on fire as she's fixing her hair "you sound so angry just calm down, you found me"

I said please don't slow me down If I'm going too fast You're in a strange part of our town...

Yeah, the night's not over You're not trying hard enough, Our lives are changing lanes You ran me off the road, The wait is over I'm now taking over, You're no longer laughing I'm not drowning fast enough.
