Death Cab for Cutie – Tiny Vessels Lyrics 20 years ago
I think the meaning of the song is pretty straight-forward.. but here's my experience with this song:
I loved this boy, was infatuated. For three years, through two boyfriends I still couldn't get over him. Perhaps a little too romantic? obsessed? maybe... but I laid down next to him and felt myself melt into him. There was something empty about him, though. After we had sex a few times (which is when that "laying" happened).. he played this song while we made love. on repeat. then let it play. devestating. he's out of my life, but that fucking song-- I can't listen to it. crushed and crushed again each time.
recently, in a nice little moment of masochism we all go through... when i learned he had left my life without a goodbye.. i played the song once more... and it was scratched. felt good. it definitely gave me some strange sense of closure.
