Death Cab for Cutie – Brothers on a Hotel Bed Lyrics 15 years ago
to me this is sort of a farewell love song, to something that once was, but no longer is.

it's about changing, falling apart.
"you may tire of me, as our december sun is setting, im not who i used to be"
is saying that it's alright to move on, giving somebody freedom from unhappiness they may face with someone- because people change over time, and how time can do a lot to someone (decemeber sun setting signifying the end of a year/day, the end of something entirely).

the second verse talks about how in a relationship, when its something that was real and true, you never quite ask for it, it sort of throws you into it. it becomes the beginning of a new stage, but marks the end of all that precedes.

but when it ends, sometimes even if you try your hardest to get through it, you cannot do anything to help yourselves, all you can do is let it go and move on.

people will always yearn for something more, something different, and that comes in the form of a new person sometimes... and the end part, "now we say goodnight from our own separate sides like brothers on a hotel bed" is sorta like, the relationship has lost all of its luster and is more missing the romantic aspect, and now they say goodnight as if they were brothers, laying as seperate souls atop the bed, a totally non-romantic relationship.

Death Cab for Cutie – Soul Meets Body Lyrics 15 years ago
God there is so many comments but i really wanna analyze this song. so bad. i bet no one will read this though. i think this is a good interpretation tho :]

I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what it's like to be new

-Ben is saying that he wants to be on Earth, living the mortal life that is so fragile, and well, Earthly. He wants to experience everything life has, such as the feeling of sun and water, which are the necessary elements for our life. "Feel what it's like to be new" to me, means to feel what it's like to be human, because if you are religious at all, or believe in afterlife, life on Earth is the very first step. We're still very new here.



Because in my head there's a Greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far-off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
Where they're far more suited than here


-He sends his thoughts off to a "greyhound station" or just generally far away, because his thoughts are far too complicated for someone on Earth to understand, and maybe in a latter stage of life, whatever life may have to offer after earth, he might be able to understand them, but for now, they cannot ever be solved, so confusing and controversial on Earth.


I cannot guess what we'll discover
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another's
And not one speck will remain

-"I cannot guess what we discover....like shovels" means, he can't predict what life will bring, what will happen when we "turn the dirt", dirt an EARTHLY matter, he can't predict what is to come. But he thinks that through life, we can be there for one another (a love interest probably), and though we'll have so much experiences in life, we can move on if you just have someone by your side.

I do believe it's true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So, brown eyes, I'll hold you near
Because you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

-He knows that there are many "roads" left, or many things still to come- and here comes the infectious irresistible benjamin gibbard awesomeness- many things still to come, but if someday death comes to take his lovely little lady, he hopes that it comes for him too, because he doesn't wanna be without her. so for now, while they're alive and well, he will love her, and cherish the time he was with her. "
Because you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere" DOESNT EVEN NEED TO BE EXPLAINED ITS JUST SO EFFING GOOD. ADKFJHGAKDFJHF


so bascically: Life is a fragile thing, and you never know what will come of it, including after this mortal life is finished. But because of this, you've gotta love the ones you have and not to waste a minute of this precious thing. when it comes down to it all, it's almost very cliche, but ben is such a fucking ingenuous writer that his words make this entire concept x670956873547575736536767643986304978 more beautiful than any way else you could describe it.

Death Cab for Cutie – For What Reason Lyrics 15 years ago
i know your comment was from 2005 and it is now 2010.. but i feel like analyzation! :p


"When your apologies fail to ring true,
(you're) so slick with that sarcastic slew
of phrases like "i thought you knew"
while keeping me in such hot pursuit"

-the "when your apologies" line sort of means when somebody does you wrong, and you are upset, and you're like, hey that really wasn't cool, they just totally screw something up and their apologies are only said because they have to, but because they really mean it.
-you're so sic with that sarcastic slew, when they apologize and know theyre wrong but they switch the blame and make you look like the bad one.
phrases like "i thought you knew" kinda like that bitchy heartless thing that does that kind of place swaping thing,
"while keeping me in hot pursuit" but they keep you hanging on, keep you wanting them, lead you on, taunt you, etc etc etc

hope thats good enough, and not TOO too late... (5 years isnt so bad right)

Stars – Your Ex-Lover Is Dead Lyrics 15 years ago
At this point, my comment is the 174th, and nobody will probably ever read it. Yet I feel compelled to say what this song means to me.

This song seems to be about a relationship, a brief one that didn't last too long, but there was something behind all of it and was real, but individual problems kept them from having a relationship. Although they both felt like there was something there, it's sort of too little too late and the way things worked out told them that it just wasn't meant to be. They move on, meet other people and maybe fall in love with someone else, totally moving on from this relationship. But when they see each other, all of the things they forgot about came rushing back in, first the good memories, maybe a little anguish, and then finally the realization that it didn't work out for a reason.

They decide to stay in touch as friends, and maybe it meant a little bit more to the girl. In the end, all it is, is simple memory of different times.

"Live through this, and you won't look back"

To me, this means that even through a relationship that meant a lot to you, and can make you feel more emotional pain than any physical happening could ever do... if you can survive an experience that hurts but makes you learn from it, you will have the ability to get through anything without the regret or hard feels.

Part of me almost wishes I was in a situation that I could relate to this by, because it's such a beautiful song, that I know it would have a good influence on me, and help me through whatever.

Well the REAL meaning of this song is hidden.
If you turn this song around and play it backwards, Andrews real meaning comes through. its freaky but true.

The Fray – Say When Lyrics 16 years ago
I think its about a guy and a girl, the girl being very closed and the guy wanting her to open up to him and he wants to help her. And he's telling her like, "Hey, You know you can tell me." And he really likes this girl and doesn't want to let her by, and is just trying to understand her and she just doesn't want to open up to anyone. So the guy is saying "say when" like, tell me when you need be because I'll be there.

The Fray – You Found Me Lyrics 16 years ago
I don't think when he says God, its really refering to God. I think he used it as a symbol for when problems start to go away and your life starts to take a different turn. In which case, Isaac is saying that he was in a bad spot in his life, and just fed up that it took so long for it to go away.

The Fray – Happiness Lyrics 16 years ago
i think that this is saying how happiness is bitersweet and you have to go through bad things to get to the happiness. And also that happiness doesn't just come easy, you have to give it your damn best try and if you don't you'll never be truely happy.
