Doors Unlocked and Open Lyrics

Cover art for Doors Unlocked and Open lyrics by Death Cab for Cutie

to me, this song is about leaving, getting away from forbading people. he speaks of going somewhere they can drown out the voices of people who are pessimistic and unsupportive. they can live peacefully without having to be guarded about their actions and braced for other people's reactions.

could possibly refer to Death cab's studio, as a sort of escape from drama and problems. people always feel more at peace when they do things they are passionate about.
