Lead vocalist and songwriter Ben Gibbard has rather liberal politics. He wrote this song in response to the "Paralyzation of fear" after the effects of 9/11. The song tells about "staying indoors" and also, pending translations, the end of the world: "We will become silhouettes when our bodies finally go."
The lyrics could be seen as somewhat dark, but the music turns it into a much more upbeat song.
