Beautiful song, of course. Chan Marshall has a disturbingly wonderful and deeply touching voice.
To me, this song is about being afraid of death. "We all do what we can, so we can do just one more thing" just strikes me somehow. People these days are so afraid of the world and themselves that they eat all the right things and exercise just the right amount in the right way so they can live a little longer, as though if they hit just the right combination of things they'll live forever.
To me it seems like the words are trying to tell us, we can be free from that fear, we don't have to worry, there's no point. It's all about changing your mindset.
