This song's about how he breaks up with a girl and how she wants to stay in touch and stay friends and he really doesn't want to even bother trying.

Death Cab for Cutie – Gridlock Caravans Lyrics 21 years ago
does anyone else think there is a connection between this song and "this place is a prison" by postal service? I do. this was never really released fully to the public so Ben finished his thought (this song) and made it into a song for the public aka TPIAP.

Death Cab for Cutie – Song for Kelly Huckaby Lyrics 21 years ago
thank you. nothing gets said half the time. we wouldn't be commenting if they weren't good songs.


this song is about taking a road trip from bellingham to california
i thought the lyrics was "waking up to the sound at 5 am" which would mean the Puget Sound
Mt. Shasta i believe is in Oregon.
and then they talk about california.
It obviously talks about taking pictures in the car and how the outside blurs because the speed of the car
and how you get used to staring at the road all day
giving you tunnel vision

Death Cab for Cutie – No Joy in Mudville Lyrics 21 years ago
"through days in a northern town" is in reference to his hometown of Bellingham, WA
located...where else? Northern Washinton
I think this song is paying tribute to Bellingham and how New York and trendy city can't compare as far as he's concerned

Death Cab for Cutie – We Looked Like Giants Lyrics 21 years ago
"braved those mountain passes" is the correct lyric
this song is about him travelling over the snoqualmie pass to get to his girlfriend's college
probably WSU or EWU
She skipped her early classes to meet up with him


the song as a whole is about hanging out with an ex girlfriend and ending up having sex with her
and how he tries to hide it from everyone else
but you can literally smell her on him


and yes
JAMC is jesus and mary chain

Death Cab for Cutie – Debate Exposes Doubt Lyrics 21 years ago
he's talking about observing people's actions, more specifically verbal actions such as "i'm sorry" or "i love you" and how they can lose it's meaning with repetition.

i believe the last bit is how if you think enough, life starts to make sense, but if you think too much, you start wondering if things are worth it when they really are, hence "debate exposes doubt". The end also obviously points out how he is a much better person when he is with someone else.

The song as a whole talks about relationships and how couples achieve for perfection and how obvious it is that everyone is trying for this perfection.

I'd like to see some interpretation of middle part of the song. it's hard to crack.
