The song starts as a country-sounding tempo and voice. But if you’re patient, the tempo picks up into the more “Strokes” sound and Julian breaks out into screams as the guitars follow his path. The song is about Julian’s aspect on what others think of him (as well as other topics that are all over the place).

15 Minutes lyrics

It was all just a dream, oh no
Yet I wish it was real
All my pets, they were there, and they smiled
Take a shit, it was fine
Everybody so inviting
They've got it in for me I know
It's not that I don't really love you
It's just that I don't really know
The hateful things you think you want to say, yeah
Time will turn them into jokes, yeah
Yes, it was all just a dream, oh no
Was it real? I don't know, I hope so
Here we go, can I play? Can I watch?
I would like one more night in your life
I saw worlds, they don't stop, they're like us
They go fast, like a sun that's been shot
Everybody at the party
Shouldn't worry if I'm there
Everybody at the party
Shouldn't worry what they wear
'Cause today, they'll talk about us
And tomorrow, they won't care
This whole life, is it a dream? I can't tell
I got up, then I waved, then I fell
I recall, you were all there with me
Overjoyed and at peace
First time around
Second took so long
Third time's a charm
Circle of fourths
Five days to rehearse
Six to make it work
Seven notes in a scale
Eight in some countries
Nine in fancy keys
Ten years we've been friends
Eleven seconds to hell
Of course twelve major chords
