| | Tiny Vessels Lyrics Artist(Band):Death Cab For Cutie
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 Grey 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 (x2) If you find some error in Tiny Vessels Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Tiny Vessels to break it down........ | Reviewer: Julia | 11/23/09 in the fist verse he is remembering that time when he held her in his arms and told her he loved her when he didn't....duh, pretty self explanatory. In the second verse he is talking about a beautiful girl that he met at a two week camp, who had a brown tint to her hair. She was beautiful..again, duh. In the third verse he is talking about when they would walk around camp at night with her confessing his "love", and later going to "all his friends" to talk about what happened. He goes on to talk about leaving her with a mark on her neck, which in my opinion, means something more....like a mark deeper than the skin. the forth verse he talks more about the bruise resulting from the sex, and how she was proud of it, and like their "love" it would never fade. But it did, and so did he. the next verse he talks about the camp coming close to an end, his knowing that it would not be longer than that, he still being blind and thinking it would last forever. She asks him what is wrong, he doesn't want to talk about it. the last verse is where he admits that it was "vile and cheep" to use her and leave her, and how even during the last days together he still took advantage of her and let her think what she wanted to. SO, basically it just means exactly what it says. He wished he loved her, but he didn't and he doesn't. Sorry if I offended anyone by breaking it down, it was more for me than anyone else. I get joy out of doing it. Hope I helped some people better understand it though. :] thought | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/14/09 i honestly think it is exactly what he is saying. -he met a girl, he thought she was beautiful. he physically wanted her, but that's it. every word he said to her was a lie, because in the heat of the moment a guy kind of has to say what you want to hear and that's exactly what he did to get what he wanted. he didn't mean to hurt her if he did. but that's just how guys are. @tessa: thank you | Reviewer: Matt | 9/29/09 I love this song and DCfC are my favourite band, I always thought this song was about a guy who suddenly realises he doesn't love his long term girlfriend. 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.
