Death Cab for Cutie – Scientist Studies Lyrics 12 years ago
I don't know about the rest of the song, but I thought "I may have got an invitation but I wasn't invited" refers to the wedding the narrator attends later in the album, of the girl that was using him to cheat on her fiance?

I'm basing this off an interpretation of the album as conceptual I read somewhere.

Freelance Whales – Ghosting Lyrics 12 years ago
I always assumed this was a song about drug addiction. The lyrics to me suggest a codependent relationship between two people possibly smoking meth. Their house is falling apart, they're reassuring each other that they're "doing okay," but their health is deteriorating and they're not going anywhere. The reason they're so sick is that they spend too much time with their group of user friends, 'ghosting' hits of whatever their drug of choice is.
