Death Cab for Cutie – You Are a Tourist Lyrics 14 years ago
See I got this feeling that he was saying, no matter what the choices you've made, stick with them. You have to disregard your doubts, and let the fire grow. Like in a relationship, and you don't think it's going anyway, you have to kill the doubt, and let the fire grow.

however personally I have a hard time agreeing with that. But that's the meaning I get from it.

As well as that fits, I don't think ben is referring to john.

I don't see the tone shift from 3 to 4, however i agree in your statement. Both the aggressive, and the reserved can both end up alone. However if that's so, could it also mean that the aggressive AND the reserved can end up with someone. It almost seems to level the playing field, so to speak.

Death Cab for Cutie – Codes and Keys Lyrics 14 years ago
Very interesting interpratation and I agree with you.

Emily, I think the part "children throw stones at the sky.." could it be that maybe children don't know much about how the world works, and they believe that perhaps by throwing a stone at the sky, it will keep going, but little do they know, it will always come back down.

I don't know, just an idea.

Death Cab for Cutie – Codes and Keys Lyrics 14 years ago
Maybe it's about both of them facing the world. But who protects who when the codes and keys cannot. is he who protects her, or she protects him. who pushes the first one out into the world. Do they go out together? I agree with risearise, they are definately One. "you and me" "we are one, we are alive"

but the part that confuses me is "seperate rooms of single life"

Death Cab for Cutie – I Will Possess Your Heart Lyrics 14 years ago
This song allows Death Cab's musical talent shine. The long intro is used to symbolize the distance, the patience, and the long wait this "admirer" has to endure before he/she confronts his/her love. The muic video capures it very well.
The long intro almost forces you as the listener to pay much closer attenion to the lyics themselves. And understand the story. This admirer has the 'lyrics' well thought out and his heart is gradually quickens as he/she gets closer to confronting this love of his/hers.

absolutely amazing song.

Death Cab for Cutie – Passenger Seat Lyrics 14 years ago
I used this song for my mother/son dance at my wedding.
It was between this and Simple Man.
This song had a more personal meaning. My mom driving me home, most of the time it was after getting into trouble. The 'driver' leaves the listener a chance to tie their own personal memory to the song, which i absolutely admire. You can make the driver whoever.

Death Cab for Cutie – A Diamond and a Tether Lyrics 14 years ago
I feel this way toward my very own relationship.
The 'boy' can't commit, however can't let go at the same time.
This song is the boys way of just telling her how he feels in a way he think she might understand.
And she's so fed up with the back and forth feelings he has for her, but because of the good times, she stays.

I absolutely love Death Cab, and their lyrics.
This song is very straight forward, and there's little room for analyzing.
