| Death Cab for Cutie – Cath... Lyrics

This is a common story. Everyone knows somebody who got married because "it was time". Even though there is nothing worng with the relationship and both people could be very good to each other, it it not necessarily a good idea to start a life together if the fire is already going out. I do think that at least title must be a Wuthering Heights reference as well. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – Brothers on a Hotel Bed Lyrics

Well, there's about 7 pages of right on interpretaions here so this was probably said at least 50 times. but I think the simplified meaning of this song is just when a couple grows old, they don't have as much in common as they used to and they kind of grow apart. Lives change and feelings fade. It causes the couple to be awkward towards each other now like brothers on a hotel bed. It's a sad truth. |

The music in this song is fucking great!!! Sounds like being the typical human being controlled by a higher power. You think you're moving up, but you're actually right where they want you to be...where they allow you to be! |

Sounds like when you want something so badly for so long (probably sex with the dirty mind reference) , that once you have it you realize you don't want it that badly afterall. The desire has gone. The thrill is gone! |

Just because of the line "take me and you'll get relief", and the fact that IS music, it makes you automatically think of drugs. I think it's proably much deeper than that though. I like Martin's poltergeist interpretation. Sounds very much like some sort of medium or in-between worlds being where you can see somethng so beautiful, so powerful, but it still scares the shit out of you. Also, the title alone is clearly a death reference. |

Sounds like when you're at a bar/club and you notice someone and your eyes meet and you have the instant connection. Maybe even someone you already knew or saw before but never hooked up with. You want this person really bad but it sounds like there's a bit of a negative vibe in it as well. Like maybe you're at this club/bar looking for revenge because someone at home has wronged you...I don't know, just thinking out loud. |

Hands down, one of my favorite songs of all-time. I guess it is from a dream Thom had. It sounds like he is telling the story as from a ghost or spirit's point of view. Or it could be when your thinking about someone who has passed and you think you see them. They are warning you (mentally, sub-consciously) that it is not real. You are not really seeing them, just thinking of them...but then it is like they are contacting you anyway, so they are kinda real....groovy!!! |

I figured it was just simply about any kind of temptation, addiction, etc. But knowing Yorke it is probably much more like fedism states. |

Defintely sounds suicidal after a loved one does that just that. Could also be that a significant other did soemthing awful, betrayal or something and then he asks "Why should't I do the same?" This whole album is definitely about love/sex/relationships and all that crap that comes with it. |

This is probably my favorite off in rainbows which is saying a lot because it is one of their absolute best albums (which is also saying a lot). It sounds like he or the protagonsit in the story is in love or obsessed with someone that may not have all the feelings in return...also could be a bit stalkerish. And the line about "I only stick with you..." sounds like they would get over that person if they only had someone else...the typical relationship rebound reflex embedded in humans. May be a bit of sarcasm in that line, like "hey, if I only had someone else, you'd be meaningless to me!" |

I think this is a pretty obvious one. Wants to be with someone so badly that they don't care how it happens of what comes of it. Just need to leave their "house of cards" behind so they can be together if even only for a brief time. |

It could be a way out of a situation with your lover or a way to be with a lover when you;re with someone already. Definitely a lot of affair refernces on this album as well, which is typical I guess with an album theme of relationships. |

Sounds like mind-control, like being basically dead while someone else is controlling you. Not much more to add to this song that hasn't been said already...just felt like commenting. |

I think it has to be a reference about nuclear bombs/war, but it could be a metaphor about just trying to run or get away from any negative situation in your life. It seems as a lot of radiohead songs have multiple meanings...also, this song is incredible, dark, i love it! |

I was listening to this song today for the first time in a really long time. I think the message is obvious and clear cut, but I actually came on here because I couldn't understand some of the lyrics! Thanks for clearing that up and @ bongo-hahaha-I think it started out innocent but he definitely boned her at least once...twice...i mean, drinks, reminiscing..it had to happen!!
Oh and the message is surprsingly dpressing!
Also, this is my first post..hope they get better than this! |
