| Death Cab for Cutie – Tiny Vessels Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
i spent two weeks in Silverlake the California sun cascading down my face there was a girl with light brown streaks This verse leads me to believe its about a fling. About convincing yourself you love someone to justify a physical relationship. Thats where "it was vile, and it was cheap" comes in because he knows it isn't true. The "dark grey clouds" mean the foreseable end to the relationship. Clearly he sees it coming but doesn't want to talk about it. Basically its about a really short passionate relationship that is bound to end. Thats my take. |

| Emery – Fractions Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I went to one of their shows and Toby actually explained what this song was about...here it goes so Toby met this girl. They started hanging out all the time and he began to fall for her. The problem was that Toby soon found out that another guy liked this girl. That other guy was this girls boyfriend. The girl still wanted to spend time with Toby but it was obviously very difficult for him. He wanted to spend time with her but he couldn't because he knew she had feelings for someone else. So yeah, thats the story behind the song. |

| Straylight Run – It's For the Best Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I think this song is about 'growing up' in his beliefs. However, he still wished he had that child like faith. and it takes more time than i've ever had drains the life from me makes me want to forget as young as i was, i felt older back then more disciplined, stronger and certain This to me shows how when he was younger, he was convinced of his beliefs. He new the distinctions between right and wrong and he longs for the certainty about his beliefs. but i was scared to death of eternity i was saved by grace but destroyed by naivety and i lied to myself and said it was for the best The 'saved by grace' part of this shows that he was a Christian. However, he felt naive to the world. This destroyed him. So, he looked for 'logical' answers. He lied to himself cause he new of the truth behind his beliefs but he convinced himself it was for the best because he was scared of the idea of eternity. I think a lot of Christians can relate to this verse. so now faith is replaced with a logic so cold i've disregarded what i was now that i'm older and i know much more than i did back then but the more i learn the more i can't understand Now his beliefs have changed but they are cold. He nows more. He is not naive anymore but he still doesn't understand. To me this means that things just don't make sense when you take God out. and i've become content with this life that i lead where i drink to much and don't believe in much of anything and i lie to myself and say "it's for the best." He is comfortable with his life. But he is still lying to himself by denying his faith. It just one of those things where you know you are wrong but the hardest thing is to admit it. we're moving forward, but holding ourselves back and we're waiting on something that will never come They are going ahead in life but holding themselves back from having a relationship with God. I think what they are waiting for is death, the end, but they know it will never come because we exist for eternity. That which is his biggest fear. |
