I came across this song completely by chance one night. I had only heard DCFC's 'The New Year' before so I wasn't really a big listener. However, one of my closest friends was telling me about her depression and how she'd been cutting and such, I got so worried about her and then I somehow came across this song. My friends name is Sarah.
The way I interpreted it is through the line, "that love is watching someone die", and that I (the only person to know about her depression) was in fact watching her slowly waste away and die. This song is now the most played on my iPod and Death Cab are my favourite band. I have fallen in love with Bens lyrics just like I am now in love with Sarah. I showed her this song, and it is now our song. It means so much to both of us. And we eventually realised, that at 3:10, the exact middle of the song, Ben sings, "love". We share that love through this song and it always brings me peace of mind.
I hope everyone finds this song as meaningful as I do.
