The National – Anyone's Ghost Lyrics 14 years ago
i believe this song is about a guy who was in a relationship with a girl, but the girl began to distnace herself, avoiding his calls and him altogether. So he stalks her and follows her around obsessively holding on to the fact that he had gotten close and his motive is that he didnt want to be anyones ghost, he didnt want to be an ex, or just another lover. He has gotten attached so much so that he doesnt want anyone else

Atlas Sound – Quick Canal Lyrics 14 years ago
Like the previous two commmentors I cannot help but to think about Siddharta and Buddhism. Especially this part:

"i wanted to live the life of a prince
because I thought saints were born saints"

It kind of reminds me of Siddharta when he was living the life of a prince before he left and saw the pain and suffering of the world.

Also this part:

"heralding a stage
where consciousness is higher"

Maybe this is about reaching nirvana or the highest state in Buddhism?

Finally,

"i looked in the dirt
and found wisdom is learnt
through a costly process
of success and failure"

To me this is when Siddharta left and he saw the suffering of his native people and he saw that his purpose in life was not to be rich and be a prince but that he would have to learn wisdom through a process of success and failure and he would become Buddha.

Idk, these are just thoughts.

Definetly one of the deepest and most powerful and moving songs there is.

Death Cab for Cutie – Cath... Lyrics 14 years ago
This song basically to me is aboout watching your first love marry another guy who you know will not love her with the same passion that you did.

Ben Gibbard perfectly encaptulates the feelings of sadness, pity, and anguish in a 4 minute song.
