Death Cab for Cutie – Gridlock Caravans Lyrics 20 years ago
"starched white shirts so neatly pressed by domestic muses feed delusions that everything is working out right." This song reminds me of an exstremly domestic household. Almost like the life of a soccer mom, and her having problems with her husband or family, but she just keeps trying to be a "super-mom".
"your only friends are on the exit ramps of gridlock caravans. you try to ask how they've been. but the metal and glass is too thick. " This gives me the image of a mothers "friends" the women who all drive (caravans, minivans) their kids to like baseball practice and the fake niceness they give off. Like those people arent her real freinds they dont care, they dont want to hear.

Death Cab for Cutie – Talking Like Turnstiles Lyrics 20 years ago
Great song. The meanings pretty clear.

sometimes, i fall in fits of laughter
my bottle shatters on the floor
and you apologize profusely
for the drunkard on the lawn

I just picture a drunk Ben Gibbard screaming on some poor girls lawn. And her apologizing to all the people passing by. Funny.
