Death Cab For Cutie - "Tiny Vessels" (Official Audio)

[@FlatsToLet]

"...it was vile, it was cheap but you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me" Ben Gibbard is a genius

[@memorycloud4173]

This is a beautiful song. One of those tracks that stirs something deep inside...it's like a dream I had last night. A surreal, objective observation from a period in my life that's meant to hurt but it doesn't. Just calmly observing, mindful of the pain but i've got a lingering relief because I know I'm not in that place anymore :)

[@ttt69420]

bruh chill.

I had a dream that a menacing Philip Seymour Hoffman and I were in a group of friends and he kept trying to kick me out of the group. It was set in a small city and I wanted one of the girls in the group and kept trying to run away with her but to no avail.

9 years . I'm done. Heart can't pretend anymore. I kept it going long enough and it took a decade to crumble. If you ever think you aren't brave enough to leave for your own happiness just remember life is quite short.

[@videogun3970]

Thank you so much, I’m in this exact situation. I needed to read this.

[@bobby4116]

[@taniasotelo2124]

The first time I heard this song was in summer school PE class before entering high school. A friend let me listen to her iPod (1st iPod ever) and I fell in love with this song. This was in 2006 i believe.

[@stash3111]

One of their very best.

[@Xhoven]

This, You Are A Tourist and I Will Follow You into the Dark are my favorites of theirs.

[@xramb1e0nx]

This is one of my many favorites! ❤

[@ilikebeingsad]

I hate you. I love you.

[@CamilaFuentes0227]

This is the moment that you know That you told her that you loved her but you don't You touch her skin and then you think That she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me Yeah, she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me I spent two weeks in Silver Lake The California sun cascading down my face There was a girl with light brown streaks And she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me Yeah, she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me I wanted to believe in all the words that I was speaking As we moved together in the dark And all the friends that I was telling All the playful misspellings And every bite I gave you left a mark Tiny vessels oozed into your neck And formed the bruises That you said you didn't want to fade But they did, and so did I that day All I see are dark gray clouds In the distance moving closer with every hour So when you ask, "Is something wrong?" I think, "You're damn right there is but we can't talk about it now No, we can't talk about it now" So one last touch and then you'll go And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more But it was vile, and it was cheap And you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me Yeah, you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me Yeah, you are beautiful, but you don't mean a thing to me

[@vinceadrianmacaso5576]

Been listening to this for the past few days.

[@erinateleven3477]

soundtrack to my youth. fuck I miss being a whiney wee emo...oh wait :)

[@tomgreenfan]

nothing wrong with being depressed but whiny emo is a different story..

[@corenlavolpe6143]

I really like this one

[@HomelessNinjaKennedy]

What's harder, realizing that you're the one that isn't cared about, or realizing that you have to leave someone that you thought you cared about?

[@ichirosuzuki2252]

In my experience the second one

[@michaelproano1449]

takes me back to being a teen, looking for love in all the wrong places

[@yourvirtualdad]

Damn I found this song March I think of this year man I still like this song tho a lot

[@sammyspice640]

This song reminds me of my ex.. and my cousin that passed away. Bittersweet

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

Hopefully they’re not the same person

[@TheDeadTexan]

You know shit ain't going right when you end up here

[@pedrotzexpacial3612]

anyone knows other songs that are like this one? i really like the style of this song

[@kaleightaylor1266]

This is for you KT, im learning this song asap - logan

[@valeriaromero8736]

why do i feel somebody would sing this to me? not fair

[@johnanderson6408]

Vicious.

[@mygoodeyeclosedCC]

Could this be a narcissist’s love letter? He don’t feel anything though acknowledges the beauty of the other. “Is something wrong?” can signal the end of the love bombing phase where the other person feels the shut off and shut out. “Moving together in darkness” contrasted by the “Silver Lake/California Sun” in his face tells me he moved fast yet again with someone, though feigning feelings is on him as a personality flaw. The other person allowed themselves to swept up in a whirlwind romance that was doomed from the start if the partner’s unable to feel anything real.

[@benluckman4772]

I love how everyone thinks this song is beautiful but it’s just about rough sex with someone you don’t care about at all

[@lorsino]

It's not the rough sex that makes it beautiful, it's that feeling when you have to hurt someone...not because you want to, but because you have to for whatever reason

[@mcortezwriter]

god this song is disturbing

[@vando_bando]

Or insatiably beautiful. All of everything is relative:) love and light ✨️

[@Hi-fd4cw]

What disturbs you about this song?

[@nickanthropocene6502]

This would sound perfect if Jesse Lacey were singing it.

[@nxsardella]

Already perfect with Ben Gibbard singing it.

[@tomgreenfan]

Brand new is like a worse death cab now that I think about it

[@tomgreenfan]

that no seatbelt song is a really good song but other then that not much to offer honestly, besides child grooming, and thats not a good thing lol

[@ichirosuzuki2252]

@@tomgreenfanI don't like brand new, really, but Millstone is a good one IMO
