Time for the final bow,
Rows of deserted houses,
All our stable mates highway bound.
Give us our measly sum,
Getting the air inside my lungs is heavenly,
Starting out, with nothing but crippling doubt.
We'll rest easy justified.
Suffered a swift defeat,
I’ll endure countless repeats,
The gift of memory's an awful curse,
With age it just gets much worse,
But I won't mind,
I won't mind,
I won't mind,
I won't mind.

Review about Stable Song Ben Gibbard capturing Kerouac | Reviewer: Brian Anderson | 11/17/2008
Yea this song is pretty clearly about On the Road illustrating the gloominess around the protagonist's journeys and the defeats and misfortunes he recieves on the way. If you've ever read the book you would know this song hits it right on.
The music itself almost makes you cry with its strange, simplistic beauty. a slow, carrying tempo with a chord structure that just touches you.
seems to be about someone moving on, collecting a week pay, and whos had a tough life. a drifter? some sort of place to place worker? in the end the song says "I wont mind", an take what you get attitude. short and deep, melikes.

this song is amazing. it's so gentle and relaxing and the chords are perfect- they enhance the lyrics instead of blaring over them like some other songs. beautiful.

It's so beautiful. The best thing is the tempo (speed)... it just drifts along, sweeping you gently into its arms. I liked what they did in Stability also, but this version is definitely more understandable. Pure melody.

This is about as pretty and unpretentious as it gets. Death Cab seems to ignore all conventional structures and derives its lyrical rhythm from the right place (unlike most groups): the poetry itself.
Beautiful, understated, haunting.
