So I got the new Death Cab For Cutie CD the day it came out! Actually, my dad spontaneously bought it for me because he saw it on my birthday list but at the time it wasn't released yet. Idk, weird considering my parents don't ever buy me stuff out of the blue lol. So my feelings on the cd are that I already knew it was going to be darker compared to Plans, and it yeah it was. But I haven't really fell in love with any of the songs, which I do with great albums pretty easily. Anyways, so I decided to just read the lyrics to the songs, ya know from the inside of the cd cover. Pretty much every song to me speaks brilliant poetry. Maybe it's because I have never really written a really good poem, and I'm just in awe of Ben Gibbards writing skills. So even though at first listen I didn't love the songs as much as I did with the last cd, I give major kudos to the lyrics of each song because I love how they're written, and I enjoy listening to lyrics that aren't always about how much they love someone and blah blah blah. I mean yeah love and such should be sung about, but if so I like if they sing about a situation in particular dealing with love that is not the same ol' repetitive shtuff you hear from R&B singers for example. yeah ok that turned out to be way longer than I planned haha. Well, I was just going to quote some of the songs I enjoyed reading from Death Cab's new cd. :) "-there was no more sunlight anymore/ and it dissappeared at the same speed/ as the idealistic things I believed/ when the optimist died inside of me." "Oh, my talking bird/ though you know so few words/ they're on infinite repeat/ like your brain can't keep up with your beak/ and you're kept in an open cage/ so you're free to leave or stay/------and it's all here for you as long as you choose to stay/ it's all here for you as long as you don't fly away." "-it's hard to want to stay awake when everyone you meet/ they all seem to be asleep/ and you wonder if you're missing a dream you just can't see/-" "I’m starting to feel/ we stay together out of fear of dying alone/ I’ve been slipping through the years/ my old clothes don’t fit like they once did/ so they hang like ghosts of the people I’ve been/ and it’s like my heart cant contain/ I fall in love every day/ and I feel like a fool/ but I have to face the truth that no one could ever look at me like you do/ like I’m something worth holding on to/ there’s times I think of leaving/ but it’s something I’ll never do/ cause you can do better than me, but I can’t do better than you."
