Death Cab for Cutie – Wait (Secret Stars cover) Lyrics 3 years ago
@[jcjh20:43825] I agree completely!! This song has nothing to do with love, I think maybe only introverted people see that? I feel though that the narrator, though definitely cynical, is more observational when it comes to his noticing of the character who waits for him hanging out with his friends. Instead of being critical toward the people who stand around on the corners looking “cool” with all their friends, I think he merely notices a separation between himself and them, a certain apathy and empty observation. I think this may be the reason why he wouldn’t care to know about his friends. You’ve really stated all my thoughts though, especially with the lyrics “Sometimes we all feel stupid,” those really strike a chord with me too, and give me major comfort. I love the themes in this song, how they are about a socialite seeking out and even waiting for the apathetic narrator, regardless of all his friends, his style, his position. There is definitely a balance between complete lack of care and extreme attentiveness, and the theme of going at life alone, and thats why the song is so perfect and gives me hope for all the people who have been left behind.
