San Diego is not a metaphor. It burned last year. Simple enough. Fire does not equate to hell. Fire is real. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – Grapevine Fires Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
No greater meaning to life and death. Seeing such is looking too deep for a greater meaning which simply, isn't there. As a resident of California, and having close friends and family that were forced to flee there homes in San Diego because of these fires in 2007, it becomes quite apparent immediately to any resident of California what this song is touching on. It's a California thing. It won't surprise me if someone from Utah or South Dakota will never relate to what this time meant to Gibbard or any resident of San Diego in 2007. "They knew it was only a matter of time...", comes off as a universal message in the end. Pertaining to that no matter what tragedy; i.e; break-up, disaster, death etcetera you may be faced with, time will heal all. i.e; You will get through a disaster, get better post relationship, and move on from difficult situations. tl;dr Fires ruined a lot of peoples summer in 2007, and Ben wrote about it. |
