Death Cab for Cutie – Monday Morning Lyrics 8 years ago
My interpretation is as such...
This song is about the whole universe, which began on a monday morning, according to some religions. It is about the massive size of the universe compared to our short lifetimes. "She sees mirages of mountain ranges, within the blink of an eye it changes."

"The night is gonna fall and the vultures will surround you" - You will die and be recycled

"Looking in the mirror what you see is gonna astound you" - Everything in the universe is one and unified, so when we look at the world we are looking in the mirror. He could be referring to real life or some sort of energetic afterlife where we take a step back and understand everything.

"They are the maps of our design" - Since we are all one universe, including the rocks and trees and birds and bees, everything shares the same patterns within the mechanisms that support life. Fibionacci shit.
