This song gets to me every time... This is actually one of my favorite songs my death cab, even though it isn't from one of their original albums. This is a completely accurate description of how I imagine it would feel permanently leaving home for the first time. No matter who you are, complete lonliness and isolation does not feel good. We all need some sort of human relationship- another person we can share our thoughts, opinions, and emotions with. This song is about lonliness in its greatest form. Also, I think this song suggests that it is human nature to be selfish in that once we are out of sight, even our own friends eventually stop thinking about us- they don't completely forget we existed, but as soon as we're gone, we are no longer one of their priorities. They may call us up once a year around the holidays to wish us a safe one, but the sad truth is that most likely the other 364 days of the year, they are not thinking about us. Selfishness. They have their own lives to worry about. Eventually, they'll stop calling alltogether- even around the holidays. This song lures out many emotions that I have buried in me.
