Different Names For The Same Thing Lyrics

Performed by Death Cab For Cutie

Alone on a train aimless in wonder
An outdated map crumpled in my pocket
But I didn't care where I was going
'Cause they're all different names for the same place.

The coast disappeared when the sea drowned the sun
And I have no words to share it with anyone
The boundaries of language I quietly cursed
And all the different names for the same thing.

There are different names for the same things
There are different names for the same things...

Different Names | Reviewer: Z. Bunny | 3/10/10

Hes talking about how he has traveled to so many places and seen wonderful things but when he see them he can't express himself and share it with other people because he can't speak the native tongue of the country hes in. He can't name what hes seeing because there are so many names for the same exact thing all across the world.

Well it's got to mean we're all one, all equal, although languages and different places seperate us from each other in are own indiviadual way way, underneath we're all fleash and blood. The same thing.

I love it when he sings "but i didn't care where i was going". i think all of us have felt that at least once in our life. that we don't care, that we don't know. that we just wanna go
