this is my favorite song on the album... simply amazing...
I like the fact that this band is actually lyrically stronger than most bands of the same genre, like Bright Eyes or Death Cab, and musically more beautiful.
It's hard to say, for me, what this song about, but lines that jump out at me are:
And what's the use of a good, strong noose
when your problem's too much hanging around?
~pretty basic, why think about killing yourself, if you are only thinking that because you aren't doing anything.
'Cause if home's where hearts is
beating like a bird's wing,
then I've many homes
~he gives his heart to many people & places, and that's why he is able to be happy.
Wisdom: it comes
but age don't unlock it.
You've got to spend all the passion you've found.
With more change in their heads
than in all of their pockets,
~people with potential just need to exert their strengths in order to learn, instead of waiting to get old.
