Death Cab for Cutie – Why You'd Want to Live Here Lyrics 14 years ago
Yikes... lots of people here struggling to understand relatively straightforward lyrics.

Anyway, the reason I created an account was to complain about the last 2 lines-- this really doesn't bother anyone else? So LA is too shallow to swim in, yet you can-- nay, most assuredly WILL-- drown in it? I mean, the words themselves sound clever enough as long as you don't think about the actual meaning at all. Can't believe none of the 50-some prior comments mention this. Or the fact that "degradate" isn't a word-- but that bothers me less because Ben has copped to it in live performances. Not sure why he didn't just use "degrade" in the first place...

All that said, love the song ;)
