He Has No Time: Tiny Vessels

Death Cab for Cutie - Tiny vessels

This is the moment that you know
That you told 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 Silverlake
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.

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
And 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 grey clouds
In the distance moving closer with every hour
So when you ask "was something wrong?"
That 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 [x2]

Whoa, and i always thought the song was sung beautifully, i didnt realise that the lyrics meant something else. Maybe i didnt listen carefully, cause i all i can ever decipher our is that last phrase of the chorus. But that doesnt mean anything to me either. It's just a very nice song, with a somewhat, interesting lyrical content. But hey, Death cab for cutie is an awesome band. It is sung with such...rigor. The singer's voice itself is very alluring, adding to the lyrical and melodious nature of their songs. Go get a listen, and i dont think you will regret. Unless of course, you dislike such music, which then i cant say much cant i?

In a whole different topic altogether, i was watching the illusionist yesterday, some movie that is somewhat similar to the prestige in a sense, but much...mellowed down if you will. The twist was kinda unexpected yes, but there are a bit of logical flaws in the show, especially the parts with the ghosts and him disappearing, but hey, its a show about magic, there are bound to be logical flaws.

In any case, the main lead actor told the female lead, his childhood love, this "I went around the world, and i have seen alot of things. But everywhere i go, i always hoped to find the last mystery that i wanted to solve, why my heart can't seem to let you go."

I thought about that, and i have no idea whether it was cause i never really went to explore that feeling further, or maybe, just maybe, i found the right person. But hey, i dont think i might ever find out, not unless i am gonna do something about it. And being such a fuckin pussy, i dont think i will be finding it out anytime soon.

But, life's like that. With my illness almost gone, all i have to do now is to concentrate on my work, and proceed on to the second year of my university life. Funny how time files. Funny how time flies and all you seem to gain are just memories, and not knowledge that you are supposed to gain in university. haha.

Books, or rather, photocopied notes, here i come.
