Cover art for Talking Bird lyrics by Death Cab for Cutie

Ben has been notoriously shallow when it comes to his choice of women. He explains this vividly in "Tiny Vessels". I think this song is a reflection of himself intertwined with the "stupid" women he choses. I think he feels like he is captive to the women that fall prey to him. I could be wrong, but I totally relate to this..
