Cover art for Line of Best Fit lyrics by Death Cab for Cutie

This song is the perfect description of depression and its roots. In fact its a description of whats lacking in modern society and it has nothing to do with some hedonistic ideal of happiness. The drive to settle and seek the path of least resistance prevades the contemporary world like ebola. In the name of progress we choose the second best love, second best job and teach our children if they dont choose a career by middle school the same will happen to them. "I remember being inside something more than you" sums it up, we experience bliss in small doses and seek only to return to it yet we never can because we have no patience and after a while we believe that we were never meant to feel such contentment in the first place.

Finally, someone who truly realizes the deepness that is the "Line of Best Fit." As I've been experiencing this song in my life as a daily struggle lately, I too, find it to be more about the lack of happiness in one's life, instead of the struggles in a relationship. Somewhere along the path from childhood to adulthood, we all seem to lose faith, or hope, in the dreams that we once held so close to heart.
