The Postal Service – Brand New Colony Lyrics 21 years ago
This song makes me miserably sad... it's very frustrating to listen to this feeling so impotent about other people...
The lyric is really good, and I don't think there's much to interpret here.

"we'll cut our bodies free from the tethers of
this scene, start a brand new colony
where everything will change, we'll give
ourselves new names (identities erased)
the sun will heat the ground under our bare
feet in this brand new colony "

The Postal Service – This Place Is a Prison Lyrics 21 years ago
Hmm what it sounds like in my head:
I can relate a lot with this song, about how my whole life feels to be locked up at the prision of my mind. About how the poeple around me aren't my friends and they are just there either because they have to, or because they pity me... and how my "guards" called insecurity, fear and paranoia are always standing in front of me.

"i know there's a big world out there like the
one i saw on the screen
in my living room late last night, it was
almost too bright to see
and i know that it's not a party if it happens
every night
pretending there's glamour and candelabra
when you're drinking by candlelight "

Also about how people live in their perfect shallow worlds... but how that actually serves them to be happy... which I think is the pretty much what we all want... for me, I can only watch from the distance that bright idealistic world...

what does it take to get a drink in this place?
