With a gradual, powerfully growing intensity, this new indie-rock single about personal and universal challenges by the Washington band fronted by Ben Gibbard, heralds the upcoming 11th album, I Built a Tower, produced by John Congleton, and out on 5 June via ANTI- Records. The band explain that: “Riptides is about the challenge of dealing with personal struggles as the world around us experiences tragedy and loss on an unfathomable scale. And how when these two elements intertwine themselves in our psyches, it feels utterly paralyzing.” To explore and enjoy more by Death Cab For Cutie, see also the other embedded links below.
These days I say goodbye without opening my mouth
I just stare into the distance 'til you figure it out
'Cause I feel as invested as a border guard
Who's seen too many people leaving to take it to heart
I'm too tired to talk, I'm too tired to end the war
And I can't seem to hold it together anymore
And my old haunts, each one's a trigger and I'm holding the gun
Like a perp frozen in your headlights who forgot to run
And I'm overcome by the voices multiplying in the crowd
It's been swelling in between my ears and growing frighteningly loud
I'm too tired to talk, I'm too tirеd to end the war
And I can't seem to hold it togethеr anymore
I'm too tired to start, I can't bring you up to speed
There's too many riptides in this ocean to proceed
And though I'm feeling fine
Roughly half the time
There's a fatal flaw
In my heart's design
I'm too tired to talk, I'm too tired to end the war
And I can't seem to hold it together anymore
I'm too tired to start, I can't bring you up to speed
There's too many riptides in this ocean to proceed
There's too many riptides in this ocean to proceed
