| Death Cab for Cutie – Styrofoam Plates Lyrics

You certainly don't have a writer's perspective, do you? Everything written has to be based on something that's actually happened to the writer? Something can't be meaningful otherwise?
May I direct your attention to Mr. Franz Kafka? I don't think he actually ever turned into an insect... |

Has anyone read any of the fiction of Haruki Murakami? This song is very reminscent of certain themes that come up a lot in Murakami's works. |

It's all the more amazing if it's fictitious, because he can still write with such conviction and emotion even about something that may not have happened exactly this way to him. |

The wording is so amazingly chosen here; it sounds almost... I don't know, medieval, with the phrases like "stable mates," "measly sum," "suffered a swift defeat," etc. |

Yeah, it's one of my favorites as well, but I haven't a clue what it's about. I really like "completely soused," 'cause you just don't hear the word "soused" much these days. |

They were driving, not sailing. The Plymouth is most likely a van, and they were probably crossing a bridge over the Mississippi River, and they broke down near Olympia, Washington. As for Mary Timony, she's a musician - she sang in a band called Helium, she does solo work, she appeared on a song by Stephen Merritt's The Sixths, and so forth. My guess is that they (whoever "they" are) were listening to Mary Timony as they drove. Not a clue as to her being "smaller than a superball," though. |
