Ben Gibbard is an amazing lyricist. You can contemplate his metaphors endlessly while coming up with a variety of interpretations. Because of this, his songs impact so many people because everyone perceives the meaning in their own way. The man is truly amazing
IMHO: It's a break up, and the singer is trying to ignore the issue and or pain. But, at the same time, he realizes that the person breaking up with him had to move on.
he goes to see his girl, but some guy comes in and has her doorkey. and the dude told him he was just visiting, but why the heck would he have a doorkey and he was finding out why she left him.
that's unfortunate... the reptition of the chorus immediately followed by that last verse is the most poignant part of this whole album. still, to each their own.
this song isn't "related" to death cab for cutie. it's the lead singer of death cab singing the songs that his friend wrote. he just used a different name because it's just him, not him and his band (death cab).
I love this song. And this video is perfect.
