| Death Cab for Cutie – Company Calls Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| basically this song is ben getting drunk while finding out that his one-night stand or previous girlfriend from title track is getting married. squeezing a heart through his fingertip is probably referring to him trying to tell her thru email or aim or whatever what his true feelings are but he types too slow so he doesnt see it as effective. as for sending a postcard from the eastern block, he wants to acknowledge the marriage and his loss but he cant come to grips with it in person so he needs to keep a distance. and then it flows into the epilogue which is the actual wedding. this whole album relates to wanting a relationship with someone you cant do it with because they are already taken and then troubles that that causes. check out some of the input from other members on different songs and youll see what i mean. hope this helps out a bit. | |
