Postcards from Tiny Islands is about Suicide.

He's walking to another place far from his life the entire song. He's always walking and when he sees the moon he starts writing the letter.

He's a glass ball in the empty sky and when he drops "to the ground below" the tempo of the song increases almost to a free fall.

The tiny islands are bridges and the postcards are his suicide note.

I feel that "The marble (were stone in me?)" I feel like he's saying there's marble and stone in me. He's fucking dieing and he's watching the moon pass by and saying the letter I live in Williamsburg Brooklyn and I walked the bridge tonight because I'm broke. I felt like jumping, It reminded me of the song.

"The marble (were stone in me?)" I feel like he's saying there's marble and stone in me. He's fucking dieing and he's watching the moon pass by and saying the letter explains it all, "It's to much to enclose".

The Holidays flying by are the years, it's time.
