Cover art for The Most Trustworthy Tin Cans lyrics by Maps And Atlases

pretty sure this is about a friend or significant other leaving, across the pond, or the ocean. there's a lot of imagery i associate with aeroplanes, iike the air conditioning hum and 60% glass. "tin cans" is an ironic reference to means of communication, referring to the old-school method of communication whereby people would talk through two tin cans connected by a taut string.
