Lyric discussion by davidecoyote 

Cover art for No Room In Frame lyrics by Death Cab for Cutie

Some people play music, and some people are musicians.

Some people play music to have fun and make others sing along and dance to catchy hooks. Usually that amounts to nothing more than clichés and platitudes that last no more than a generation. If you're a musician, however, you HAVE to write about how you feel, in order to expand on the human experience.

This is an emotional album, of course, in a specific way, and I understand that. The question is: to what end?

The most telling line is the very last (musically and lyrically) of this song.

It's unresolved in a way that makes perfect sense.
