Death Cab for Cutie

Song by them called "Your Heart is an Empty Room" on their album Plans. I like this song because it speaks to the discontentment had by people especially in this era of wealth and plenitude. We venture on this epic chase for contentment (truth) that when misguided results in unsatiated confusion. Many view the grass as greener than their present situation but when they get to the grass you see it isn't that satisfying. Also, independence and individuality in our culture is becoming smug loneliness. Here goes:

Home's face: how it ages when you're away
Spring blooms and you find the love that's true
But you don't know what now to do
Cause the chase is all you know
And she stopped running months ago

And all you see is where else you could be,
when you're at home,
There on the street,
are so many possibilities to not be alone
