No matter how hard he tried, he knew it was all a lie. "I wanted to believe in all the words that I was speaking" Just goes to show. I had an experience like this, with a guy who I wasn't over his ex. He tried to have a relationship with me. But he knew it was all so fake, & though I am beautiful I didn't mean a thing to him. a cry for more... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/8/09 I think of the song as a man realizing that he is gay. I think that he knows he is gay and is having a hard time addmitting it to himself and the world and the girl he is dating. I think that she is his way of testing himself. I think that he knows he should love this girl, but he can't, and he is trying with all his might. This is so sad, and it instantly brought me to tears when I first heard it. similarities | Reviewer: cgrill | 1/4/09 did anyone notice that this song is similar to a movie script ending? here, he writes "So one last touch and then you'll go And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more But it was vile, and it was cheap" in a movie script ending, gibbard writes, "with your hands on my shoulders, a meaningless movement, a movie script ending." that is sort of the same because he wants the movement, or the "last touch" to mean something more than it does, but it doesn't, and it is "vile" and "cheap," just like in the end of those hollywood romantic comedies where the two main characters end up together, but who knows how long the relationship is going to last? they are both beautiful, but their love means nothing and is cheap and emtpy also, did anyone hear that ben gibbard is engaged to zooey deshanel? for someone who doesn't care about looks, he really found a gorgeous woman to marry. Antiquity | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/29/08 I just came across this song on Pandora and decided to look up the lyrics. A very good song. I read several posts/blogs and would like to offer the following - Music is fun to listen to because we can transcend the experiance to our own reality. Eneryone has been in a relationship that did not pan out, and for that reason, you identify with this song. - The writer of this song knows that and is just offering up a peice of his experiance to his listeners/fans. This is what poets/artists do. - To me, This song depicts a very popular band traveling to a hot bed of alternative and punk rock music, Silver Lake, Ca. Here a festival of some type is most likely held (i did not google it because I am pretty sure I am correct). Here, for two weeks, the writer stayed and in that time met girls (of which, one was extraordinarily attractive). He went through his speal that he has given a thousand times to women callers. They slept together and fullfilled her dream of being with a famous rockstar. He fullfilled his dream of sleeping with an incredible beauty. He had to hit the road knowing that the same situation lies ahead in a different city. Looking back on this experiance he realized that he would have never been with this woman if it was not for his status. That made him realize a leak (described by oozing tiny vessels) in the intamicy as being vile and cheap (like a women with a hicky). Yes she was beautiful, but she dident mean a thing to him. - On another aspect, whoever writes the lyrics for this band is an incridable story-teller leaving many ambiguous endtails to their accounts that it's listeners can spin anyway they want. Couple that with a melodic beat and catchy voice, and you have one successful band. -Take care lyrics mean whatever the listener wants | Reviewer: lar | 10/10/08 no offense tanya, but although it shows that guys don't just care about girls beauty, it shows how guys just use girls for their bodies and then kick them to the curb. he takes what he wants and then leaves and tells her lies to get her into bed with him to only let her live a farce. don't get me wrong i love this song and can relate, but it definitely is not saying oh want a girl for her brains not just beauty. it is like no just wanted to get my dick wet and i couldn't just leave it at that, i had to build this experience we had as something more to get what i want and then kick you to the curb. he should have just been clear and said let's just have fun and go on. instead he says these things by impulse and is now reflecting back. either as maybe he thought her beauty was love and now realizes it was not or simply that he feels guilty and all he can settle on is that she was beautiful and he will forever remember her as that and nothing more because that is all he ever really desired from her. a nice time with a beautiful girl :) | Reviewer: tanya | 9/28/08 Wow. I love this song. Reading the lyrics made me think of someone that <i>knows</i> they're not in a healthy relationship, but can't leave for one reason or another. I love how it challenges the notion that guys don't only think about looks in a girl :"yeah she was beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me" It also reminds of someone that really wants to love someone else. You can want it so bad, they can be the most beautiful person ever, they could be everything you need but yet you still can not love them. Also the part about tiny vessels and bruises is just put so well. Everytime I listen to this song and think of the lyrics and meaning, I just go :O Love it. guacomole girl | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/26/08 I've listened to this song. Again and again. when I really need to cry it'll do it and it'll keep me there. I've been in both positions in the song and they are both gut wrenching. It encapsulates that moment when your mind, body, and soul know together what is right and what isn't. and you can't battle it anymore, can't trick yourself and you gotta let it go. it's the love and the hate of that surrender that was inevitable. the door that closes and the one that opens beside it. favourite. | Reviewer: carissa0517@yahoo.com | 7/5/08 this song just makes me cry. i think of alll the death cab ive listen to, and fallen in love with, this, along with transatlanticism remain my favourite forever and ever. its so weird how well it fits. the guy isnt a jerk or anything. hes sorry. he wants it to work. its just not. and yes, girls are just as guilty. this song is beautiful, in every sense of the word. wow. | Reviewer: Sam | 6/22/08 there's something about this song that i'm just... addicted to. the words are so elagantly chosen, and what i love about dcfc is how real their songs are. i agree with y'all all the way. this song doesn't only describe men. i know both men and women who have done something along these lines. to me, it makes me appreciate the love i share with my friends and family. amazing | Reviewer: ray ray | 6/21/08 this song is amazing and describes so many "relationships" that happen to alot of people. I myself have had a fair share of these feelings, and this song is a huge reflection on my past. i really think this song is about a guy who is trying to get over somebody by dating somebody else, but it just doesnt work that way, and i know that for a fact.
