But just now I started listening to Death Cab for an inspiration to help solve this problem I have and what tessa said sums up both aspects of my problem and explains what I know realise this song means re: sarah | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/3/09 sarah said: 'It's interesting how people have their own interpretations of the song! Personally to me it seems as though this girl does indeed mean a lot to him, but he knows his visit is coming to a close and it would be difficult to form a real relationship based on a 2 week fling. The repetition of "you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me",seems as though he's affirming it to himself as to convince himself. Like that old Shakespearian adage "thou doth protest too much."' i agree with this interpretation particularly because of the way it beautifully flows into transatlanticism. Rob - Doofy | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/24/09 I listen to so many different types of music, this not being one of my favorite, and I was listening to all of my songs, when I caught this. Usually I am outgoing and energetic, but when I listen to this song, it makes me feel...kind of sad, and realizing. I fell so shy when I listen, it helps me relax though. It's just about how you see "hot" women, and your friend will say "I'll take her." It's just that. That so called "love" means nothing but a physical attraction, when never works out. How you play along just so you may seem to be liked by her. I can't believe it, I finally fully understand people. Just makes me wonder, why all people don't listen to this song. interesting... | Reviewer: Sarah | 7/28/09 It's interesting how people have their own interpretations of the song!

My boyfriend of 3 years didn't love me, and in the end he did tell me, but even then he didn't want to. It must have hurt him a lot, because I know he did care for me deeply, but in the end he just couldn't love me. love lost | Reviewer: Tessa | 7/20/09 i always felt when i listen to this song two different feelings depending what i was feeling at the time. 1. was that he was using the girl to get over lost love and he wanted to so bad to mean what he said to this new girl but he was only really doing it to try to keep his mind off who he really loved his voice seems like it's in pain so i would never say in my opinion that he did it out of spite he feels bad over what he's doing. 2. shes like a best friend who admitted feelings towards him and she means so much to him he wanted to see if feelings could develope towards her but there not even tho he wishes they would cause shes the kinda girl hes always imagined being with. Beautiful. | Reviewer: Katie. | 7/10/09 I never thought of this as insensitvity. Maybe he believes someone could have loved her better. Maybe she loved him, and he wished to love her back, but in the end he didn't mean anything. She could be beautiful and sweet, and kind and gentle. But even that can't make someone love you. Love is more complex. smu | Reviewer: smu | 7/4/09 Before you go bashing ben gibbard for his insensitivity, you should consider that he may have been writing from someone else's perspective. Thats how I always viewed this song. Dark, and sarcastic about a guy who used a girl he knew, and how he could have loved her better. Navel-gazing douchebags! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/28/09 You navel-gazing douchebags (amen and everfading) on this forum, stop projecting your bullsh*t on this plainly self-evident song. It is beyond conjecture. The writer states his views clearly. He does not love her. But he feels guilty because said he did. He was caught up, and he feels cheap about the rough sex they had because he didn't care about her at all. He's sheepish about telling her. Simple as that!
