No Room In Frame Lyrics
There's too many things that I can't remember
As I disappeared like a trend
In the hum of the 5 in the early morning
Up through Coalinga through the valley
This highway lived in my mind
It takes me back to the place that made me
When the cameras turned to face you?
No room in frame
For two
Speeding south bound lanes with abandon
It catches you on the coast
Or on the cliffs of the Palisades you killed the engine
Reeling bodies failing to discover
The thing they once knew as love
Raising their voices to convince one another
When the cameras turned to face you?
No room in frame
For two
In the sun
When the rain flows
All through my veins
It's true
And we'll both go on to get lonely with someone else
With someone else
When the cameras turned to face you?
No room in frame
For two
In the sun
When the rain flows
All through my veins
It's true
And we'll both go on to get lonely with someone else
With someone else
This song is obviously about his break up with Zooey. The 5 is a freeway that runs from seattle to LA and I think he wrote this on his way home to seattle. I think this was about him not really fitting in to the hollywood lifestyle that she had and she really skyrocketed to fame with the New Girl. While he wanted to stay out of the spotlight, she wanted all the attention. Hence there wasn't room for two. The sun refers to LA and his home is Seattle ( where it constantly rains)

Some people play music, and some people are musicians.
Some people play music to have fun and make others sing along and dance to catchy hooks. Usually that amounts to nothing more than clichés and platitudes that last no more than a generation. If you're a musician, however, you HAVE to write about how you feel, in order to expand on the human experience.
This is an emotional album, of course, in a specific way, and I understand that. The question is: to what end?
The most telling line is the very last (musically and lyrically) of this song.
It's unresolved in a way that makes perfect sense.
This is an big Death Cab for Cutie Song Analysis project and the interpretations of songs here are pretty on point. If you're a fan, you'll definitely appreciate it.
