"First of all, thank science for Pandora, because otherwise I would never have known the awesomeness that is The Shins. Consider me highly unqualified as I am just getting into them, but I've known this song for a while now and recently I've really had the opportunity to let it..." (view)

"Fucking awesome song. Ripe for some movie (that unfortunately would probably suck) where the guy is running back to his chick because he fucked up and he realized he was wrong. I know if that happens to me, I want this blasting in the background. Then when the instrumental..." (view)

"Whether they ripped off "Moonchild" or not, what a great song. The haunting lead in to the acoustic guitar is spot on (as well as when the same sound is used again throughout the song). Great relaxing road trip song. Great lyrics. " (view)

"This is very much a song about getting used to being older and/or dying and realizing your youth is gone. The video un-subtly paints this theme, as well. I just can't tell if "there goes the fear" means he's getting rid of it, or like "here it comes again." ???..." (view)

"I kind of like this intro. Kind of a dual meaning, mainly about how addiction is a mean motherfucker, but also I picked up some hints at how celebrities aren't really treated the same with regard to drug addiction, and it's sort of just tolerated and exacerbated...." (view)

"Also more of a fan of earlier/underground Em, trying to get into his new stuff. This song grew on me, but it took some time. Hated it the first time I listened to it (the voice, made worse by the chorus) but it's not bad. I like..." (view)

"LOVED this song ever since I was 14 and made the mistake of seeing Batman and Robin and buying the soundtrack (for the other version of this song and the Bone Thugs song). This easily eclipsed the rest of the CD and actually justified buying it w/ the other..." (view)

"The lyrics posted for this song are definitely bunk. Easy meaning: two people drawn together because of either a tough youth, or they're both just crazy (in the good way, like idiosyncratic, or maybe just a couple of cynical misanthropes, whatever). They "savor" each other's pain because they grew up w/..." (view)

"2nd favorite Killers song, easily the easiest to project ur heartache all over. Reminds me of an evil succubus that ripped my heart out, cheated on me, etc (first girl i actually loved, too), as I heard this shortly after we split, but it's still a good all-around "shit..." (view)

"Oh yeah, phenomenal sunny day driving song. The meaning? Sounds to me like he's saying, "I fuck up. Oh well, (and then perhaps in a Cartman voice) I do what I want!" Or maybe he's really happy about something that pulled him out of some funk he was in, and when..." (view)

"I'm not exactly the most spiritual person, but this song is beautiful. " (view)

"Coming into this site, I just passively thought this was a love song about "fading together," or kind of getting away from it all with each other. Now I'm not so sure. He's saying that he badly wants the love to fade. Instead of "let's fade together"..." (view)

"Definitely heavy on the post-apocalyptic theme. Great tune." (view)

"Wow, how can nobody even at least say comment on the awesomeness of this song. He's in love. The end." (view)

"Agreed." (view)

"Between this and ghost, these guys know how to lay down some kickass music to accompany their lyrics. NO idea as to the meaning. Obviously the zenzella is onto something, but can't really pick up on the disposition shared by the person singing the lyrics. Do they want the..." (view)

"The melody couldn't fit the song more perfectly. Very haunting, to tie in with the title. I had initially thought it was someone recalling a horrible event in their life, losing someone, and the memory of the deceased haunting them like a ghost. But the lyric "and..." (view)

"Not that I'm judging :-)" (view)

"chez269 called it. And those who think this is about drugs, you need to put the bowl down." (view)

"AdanaC called it. Beautifully done song." (view)

"Could be dreadfully mistaken, but even though other lyric sites post this line as being so, I'm pretty sure that the part "and all the moons on earth" is really "and often as I pass." Makes way more sense. That being said, I know this isn't exactly a deep song,..." (view)

"Taught to be = Come to be You'll have to set us free = No one to set us free Let our bodies crumble away = And our bodies crumbling I will take the cold for you = I will take the blow for you Beautiful song. Sounds like some relationship issue. But the..." (view)

"First, I'm amazed that people can get a political meaning from this song. I know art is left up to broad interpretation, but this song strikes me as an obvious relationship song. But still, kudos to those who went outside of the box. That being said, I'm also going..." (view)
