Here's what I got from it hope it helps.... "There's a cult, there's a cult inside of me Form the salt, sprinkle it around me There's a cult, there's a cult inside of me Form the salt, sprinkle it around me" Salt is a way that our bodies get rid of impurities, in this song salt is a metaphor for getting rid of the impurities that has been instilled into our minds about death "sleep is a welcome gadget in our head bond hood the crawling animals will seek all things warm all things moist I will relentlessly shame myself in rest in wake in front of my truly born beloved for here I lie in wait hush little heart" Sleep is a transition being well ground (down to earth-humble) you'll be able to find foundation.Warm, moist soil is great for planting seeds and letting it grow (water is the foundation for all things living) Continuing without pause or interruption (wake) causes distress that will weigh heavily on the mind/spirits because you reap what you sow. This is caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior. Not being under the control or in the power of another is free will (choice) To except death is to experience the direct communion with all that is one "steal my sweating lips wield my starving hips there's a cult inside of me form a salt sprinkle it around me Salt helps the decaying process because it can dry things out. Sweating is when salt leaves the body therefore you must ingest more salt because the body needs it. plants include just enough sodium that our body needs to survive "Steal my sweating lips wield my starving hips" means, take my craving manage my hunger for what is to come "the creeper's blood is seeping from this undead wooden headboard varnish my forehead red in evening drip down over my jowls bid them writhe and sprout their heavy feathers lift my drooping heart" Out of death comes life disapproval and criticism of this behavior and actions causes sadness and depression so at the end you must let go and let sleep carry you slowly by a current that will lessens the pain from resistance to lift your low spirits "into a bright bound sea surrounded fury our bodies will return" make light of the situation So that beings may still exist there's a cult inside of me form a salt sprinkle it around me.............................................. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – The Employment Pages Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
we spread out and occupy the cracks in the urban streets *meaning- Ben and his band want to cover more ground so death cab is now traveling trying to get actual gigs by performing in the city on the sidewalk for cash Idle now, I rearranged the furniture as you sleep, as you sleep, as you sleep *meaning Ben is unemployed, so he pursues a music career day in and day out hoping things will turn out in his favor. At night Ben rearranges the furniture in order to have enough space for the band and the equipment. Its so appropriate, the way we amplify the sound, * meaning- the time is right the girlfriend is gone off to work, so now the band can practice. but are practicing very loudly And then the neighbors drop by and they ask to turn it down again *self explanatory We spread out and everyone is frightfully more aware. *meaning- the band is out again performing in the city on the sidewalk for cash and they're building a buzz very quickly. So impressed, the cocktail politics and obscure details. * meaning- feeling reassured getting more cash than before so they buy drinks with it and talk about things that aren't important Its so appropriate, the way we amplify the sound, * meaning- certain circumstances prevail, the time is right the girlfriend is gone off to work, the band is practicing loud again And then the neighbors drop by and they ask to turn it down again *self explanatory And it was true that I was truly failing. *meaning- Ben is admitting to being unsuccessful in what he had set out to do which was to find a job You were gone and I was home calling around, *pleading with his girlfriend saying that he was making attempts to get a job when she was out But nothing was found worthwhile. *meaning- none of the job were worth the time we spread out and occupy the cracks in the urban streets *meaning- Ben and his band want to cover more ground so death cab is now traveling trying to get actual gigs by performing in the city on the sidewalk for cash Idle now, I rearranged the furniture as you sleep, as you sleep, as you sleep *meaning Ben is unemployed, so he pursues a music career day in and day out hoping things will turn out in his favor. At night Ben rearranges the furniture in order to have enough space for the band and the equipment. |
