I'm really upset that no one here has gotten the obvious reference that Ben Gibbard has ingeniously alluded to throughout this song! "Cath" does not allude to catheters, (I couldn't stop laughing when I read this) but rather to Catherine Morland. Catherine Morland is the protagonist of Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen, its about a girl who gets married to a dreadful man and turns her back on so many men that would have loved her more. The reference is so direct that I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet here. Its a good read, probably one of Austen's best, but then again, I am a guy and Victorian novels are brutal. To really understand all the undertones and allusions of the lyrics you should at least give the wikipedia page of Northanger Abbey a look. And for goodness sake, don't mix up Victorian heroines with catheters! |
