Green Day – Letterbomb Lyrics 16 years ago
My ex? gf, a self-proclaimed rebel and proud of it, and I were in a co-dependant relationship, I was like Jesus to her, to save her from herself.

Make a long story short she got back into doing drugs (behind my back, for over a month now, we don't live in the same town so it was easy for her to hide it from me) I confronted her and offered to help her through the crap

She sent me a letter bomb of her own...I'm not her savior, I should just get over myself...yada yada...since I'm stupid enough to stay with her, she'll do me the favor of leaving me.

I've listening to AI all week, it so fits my life right now.

Everyone sees what they want to see, be it religious, politically etc... to me it's about realizing that the world, a country, a person is sometimes beyond help and those of us who try to are really just acting out our own psychological hangups (mother's love, father's rage) and unsolved issues under the guise of heroism.

That realization is a tough pill to swallow.
Nothing so hard as letting go.

Nelly Furtado – Say It Right Lyrics 17 years ago
I first heard this on the radio and I liked it but I'm not really into dance-pop
but then
I saw her dancing....Olivia
in the living room of our place the music blaring so loud the walls were shaking

she didn't know I was watching

I think musics got what it takes to "set her free"

I asked her why she won't dance like that when I'm around, she said she was embarassed, afraid of what I would think, yet she wished more than anything to let go of her inhibitions

We had a long talk that night, and got closer fot it - so thanks Nelly!

So I was thinking about how these lines apply to our relationship:

"from my hands i could give you
something that i made
from my mouth i could sing you another brick that i laid
from my body i could show you a place god knows
you should know the space is holy
do you really want to go? "

and I realized that there's a part of Olivia I had been miissing out on all this time, and I think she felt it too because she wished to let me in on it but was too scared - it's holy
sacred to her, a gift
that she feared I would not understand or appreciate
but I get it
I play the guitar and I'm very shy in front of others
it's hard to feel exposed
but eventually you need to give ALL of yourself and it really helps when the receiver/audience is open, accepting - and in love with you!

Death Cab for Cutie – I Will Follow You Into the Dark Lyrics 17 years ago
I'm not going to analyze what it is suppose to mean. I don't know. But this is what it means to me. My girlfriend and I are constantly being badgered by our parents to get married and well I'm more of a secret marriage vow (Sting) kinda guy and everytime I hear this song I am reminded of why I don't beleive in officialized matrimony. First of all it's hypocritical, half end in divorce anyway. Mostly it's because I know what it feels like to be with someone you love "Til Death Do Us Part" It was a wonderful relationship but I always knew that I could love again should it end. (It did, and I did find the love of my life) I know now what it feels like to be with someone you desire, hope, desperately beleive you will love for eternity, not til death but beyond it. Yeah I'm a hopeless romantic sap ( I didn't used to be, she started this) but I know I found love with more than my other half she is made of me and I of her, not soulmates - we are the same soul, we share the same heart and mind and it reaches farther than this material body we have, I know without a doubt that I will love her forever, no marriage license will prove that or guarantee it.

Death Cab for Cutie – Tiny Vessels Lyrics 17 years ago
Samuel whatever said "Its like the relationship between him and this girl got deeper for her than for him, very quickly, and he felt almost angry that he wasnt feeling what she did. And he didnt know what to do because he did care for her, but he didnt love her, and to tell her this would obvisouly crush her. So instead he had guilty, empty sex with her."

You took the words right out of my mouth!

He didn't have to be a jerk maybe he desperately wanted to love her but he doesn't and maybe he thought he did at first until....he learned what love was supposed to feel like? Dunno, but I can speak from experience in this issue, I was in a long-term rel. with this girl and I had never fallen in love so I thought I loved her and I know I did, but not with the kind of intensity and depth and meaning that I discovered in a later relationship.

Of course in my case it spanned more than two weeks, over time it developped into a comfortable relationship, where i was honest when I said I loved her but I knew I was not in love with her, I never had been. In my defense no one knows what level of love they are capable of until they are in it.

Besides physical arousal comes much easier than emotional arousal, like devotion, trust, interdependance... But when you're young and inexperienced you can't tell the difference. That's what happened in my case, and I know that I never intented to hurt my ex. But I did, and I live with the guilt, even now that it has ended.

Death Cab for Cutie – Passenger Seat Lyrics 17 years ago
davidecoyote that was an interesting perspective on the shooting stars and satellites part,

I can sorta see why they might represent a contrast the fact that one is man-made and fake which to me is the sattelite and the other real (shooting stars),
this would indicate a difference between real love and a superficial one which is what I got out of your comment,

But - I get the feeling that the two are sync, on the same level so to speak. The question seems to represent the fact that the person in the passenger is so open and comfortable she is just saying whatever is on her mind, her question has a naive sweet innocence to it (I echo the comments about a child, except in this case I mean to say childlike) but I do beleive that the two are in love, so it cant be about an adult-child conversation.

So, I think the contrast is not an indication of the level of commitment of both (long-term vs. superficial) unless she is simply asking about the viability of such a relationship, which then begs the question why would she even be thinking of that on such a peaceful, romantic journey? I think it just doesn't fit with the context of the song.

Death Cab for Cutie – Passenger Seat Lyrics 17 years ago
This is my fave death cab song....ohhhhhh it hurts it's so beautiful! Evergreens? Yeah I think it means this place smells like it's meant to be forever...you know like you're meant to be on this journey with that person for all eternity, that's what I think it means, and my fave line is the question: Do they colide? Of course they do, well in my world at least. THey're called fireworks and the ymostly happen in your head when your in the passenger seat and you're home, cuz I think home is wherever your love is, which to me is right where she sits, in the journey with me whereever it is we're headed for - eternity.
