Death Cab For Cutie- The Sound Of Settling

I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots
that my tongue was tied off,
my brain's repeating, if you've got an impulse let it out
but they never get past my mouth

Ba ba, ba ba, this is the sound of settling x3

Are you this fleeting?
Old age is just aroung the bend, I can't wait to look grey.

I'll sit and wonder of every love that could have been,
if only i could have thought of something charming to say.

Ba ba, ba ba, ba ba this is the sound of settling x5

I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots.

This is what I was trying to do.
I can't explain better than this song.

And no not just the lyrics Decius.

Listen for the humility in his voice.
It sounds like he has lost, but he is ok. Like he is finnaly happy because of it.

Lately this song has meant a lot.
A girl I know.
This paints her picture.

When I was younger I liked this song a lot. thought it sounded cute.
Then it made me sad.
How could someone do that? How could they just give up?
All of the pain they had to go through.. It was all too much to take.

And now, now that I hear his happyness. I feel empathy for them and I understand what it means, what it really means.
It is beautiful.
Letting go.
But I am still aware of the pain.
I have not yet settled. But I can see so much. And it makes me want to die sometimes.
Other times, it gives me hope.

That is what this song is. Settling. Truely.

Tell me if you hear the same thing, or what you hear in general.

Read the linked thread as you listen to this. It gives it a whole new feel.
Kinda cool.

I'm going to make this into a music video.
