| Death Cab for Cutie – The Ice Is Getting Thinner Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
We're not the same, dear, as we used to be The seasons have changed and so have we There was little we could say, and even less we could do To stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you --- the feelings are starting to change. the people in the relationship are starting to be more distant than before. and it is already very evident in the relationship that they are not the same as they were before. We bury our love in the wintery grave A lump in the snow was all that remained But we stayed by its side as the days turned to weeks And the ice kept getting thinner with every word that we'd speak --- but still they try to salvage the relationship, but it just keeps getting worse and worse as days gone by. And when spring arrived We were taken by surprise when the floes under our feet bled into the sea And nothing was left for you and me --- and then the time comes where all their fears is slowly turning into reality, that there is nothing to save anymore... and they knew it is already over. We're not the same, dear And it seems to me There's nowhere we can go With nothing underneath And it saddens me to say But we both know, well, it's true That the ice was getting thinner Under me and you The ice was getting thinner Under me and you --- and they've already accepted the inevitable, that their relationship is not going anywhere no matter how hard they try. And they knew it's time to end the relationship. This is such a melancholic song by DCFC. Very realistic and very straight to the point. |

|
Synapse to synapse, the possibility's thin. I'm dressed up for free drinks and family greetings On your wedding, your wedding, your wedding date. The figures in plastic on the wedding cake that I took were so real. - he's thinking of getting her back, but he knows that it's just not possible. he was there, on her wedding day. he's thinking that maybe this day was just a pigment of his imagination, but it is real. The wedding is happening. And I kept a distance, the complications cloud The postcards and blip through fiber optics, As the girls with pigtails were running from little boys wearing bowties Their parents bought and "I'll catch you this time! - he'd like to distant himself, because he knows what might happen. And it wasn't going to be so good. He will just make everything so complicated. Crashing through the parlor doors, what was your first reaction? Screaming, drunk, disorderly, I'll tell you mine. You were the one, but I can't spit it out when the date's been set. The white routine to be ingested inaccurately. - then ofcourse he came to her at the wedding, he's drunk, confused, not in a proper state of mind. He wanted to confess his feelings. That he still thinks that she's the one for him. But he can't continue, because that date has been set, and the wedding is happening, no matter what. This song tells a sadder story than the first one. Because here, despite the fact that he's battling to distant himself completely, he still decided to fight for her and tell her how he really feels.. but he knows it's already too late for that. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – Company Calls Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
I'll take the best of your bad moods and dress them up to make a better you, 'cause all the company calls amount to one paycheck. - girl is a handful but guy still sees the better in her. Set your sights, destroy this party line, Cause it's so tired. Set your sights, destroy this mock-shrine, Cause it's so tired. - they're not together anymore, but there's still communication. but he's thinking about cutting it as it's getting very tiresome. I'd keep my distance 'cause the complications cloud it all, and mail a postcard sending greetings from the Eastern Bloc. Synapse to synapse: possibilities will thin or fade. Your wedding figurines: I'd melt so I could drink them in, and drink them in, and drink them in - then the girl is about to get marries, i think he was invited or something. But he'd like to keep his distance because he knows that he's still not over her, and everything will get complicated, so he just drowned himself in alcohol. Basically, a story of a guy who's still not over his ex, however, the ex is already happy with her life |

| Death Cab for Cutie – 405 Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
I took the 405 and drilled a stake down into your center, And stated that it's never ever been better than this. I hung my favorite shirt on the floorboard, wrinkled up from pulling, pushing, and tasting, tasting... - There were parts of the relationship that were really great and made hom feel ecstatic You keep twisting the truth That keeps me thrown askew. Misguided by the 405 'cause it lead me to an alcoholic summer. I missed the exit to you parents' house hours ago. Red wine and the cigarettes: hide your bad habits underneath the patio, patio. - But like all other relationships, we were always blinded by our emotions. we sometimes let euphoria takes over our relationship ignoring the fact that our partners also has bad/evil sides. And because he can't accept the fact that it's not always rainbows and butterflies, he found relief in alcohol. |

This won't be the last from me, its just the start. I hope that he keeps you up for weeks like you did to me. - he's getting his revenge. he won't stop until he gets it. Next line, KARMA at its best. He hopes that the other guy would do to her the thing she did to him. He hopes that the other guy would make her feel anxious and paranoid just like what she made him feel. When your apologies fail to ring true, So slick with that sarcastic slew Of phrases like "I thought you knew" While keeping me in hot pursuit. - Her apologies doesn't sound so sincere, instead sounded very sarcastic. But still, he wants him to hold on to her and giving him false hopes. Tracing the plot finds Skin touching skin. Absence follows. -she's probably cheating on him, as absence follows (literally and figuratively speaking) In the end, I win every time as ink remains. Sour tastes prevail as you play back the tape machine. - I think he left a her a very bitter message that will remind her how crappy of a girlfriend she was, and that she was never ever worth it So yeah, this song is basically about the bitterness and rage of a guy over his cheater of a girlfriend :-) |

Idle now, I rearranged the furniture as you sleep, as you sleep, as you sleep - he got nothing to do, and got no job, so he finds something to do. And it was true that I was truly failing. You were gone and I was home calling around, But nothing was found worthwhile. - I think his partner got really frustrated for him being unemployed, and he thinks that he's a failure. Partner left him and nothing seems to be worthwhile anymore. |
