This is a beloved album to me. Every song is a banger. However, there's one part that always gives me pause. Toward the end of "Perfection as a Hipster", the man sings:

>I caught the girl, her eyelids started to flutter

>And in my arms

>She passed out cold, are you okay?

>Just lie still, you'll feel better

>(What happened? I want to go home)

>Feel better

>(Where am I, what have I got on?)

>Feel better

>(You say that but how do you know?)

>Feel better

>(Who are you, what do you want?)

The parts in parentheses are the woman's replies. To me it sounds like two people meet while out dancing, they have an awkward but flirty interaction, and then suddenly the woman starts to pass out and gets scared and confused, and the man is like "Shhh it's okay..." with the music getting noticeably more dark (the chords suggesting a minor key, darker than the rest of the song which sounds happy and major).

But then the song gets all triumphant again with the final chorus.

Can someone shed light on what is going on here? It sounds a lot like the dude drugs her and tries to take her home and she's fighting it. I have not seen the film... does that provide more context for what's happening?
