    lyrics:
    You'll never have to hear the word "no"
    If you keep all your friends on the payroll
    The non-disclosure pages signed
    Your secret's safe between those lines
    The scaffolding will cheer and console you
    But remember what your mother told you
    That good help is so hard to find
    For people that are so refined
    You're trying to turn into the skid
    In this never-ending grid
    There's a long, slow fade
    To a darkened stage
    And I hear you say
    "Only a fool gives it away"
    Only a fool would give
    Only a fool gives it away
    You said you wanna stake out your claim
    High above the city from where you came
    Don't you know the air's so thin?
    It starves the brain of oxygen
    I know it's such a dangerous place
    For there are more ascensions than there is space
    Angels causing accidents
    The camera phones'll document
    But if I start to levitate
    Pull me down with all your weight
    There's a long, slow fade
    To a darkened stage
    And I hear you say
    "Only a fool gives it away"
    Only a fool would give
    Only a fool gives it away
    You're trying to turn into the skid
    In this never-ending grid
    But you should know it's not ideal
    All those hands upon the wheel
    There's a long, slow fade
    To a darkened stage
    And I hear you say
    "Only a fool gives it away"
    There's a long, slow fade
    To a darkened stage
    And I hear you say
    "Only a fool gives it away"
    Only a fool would give
    Only a fool would give
    Only a fool gives this away

    Just saw this during Toonami a few minutes ago. I used to hear this song A LOT on the Radio before, but it wasn't until I saw the video that I took a good listen to the lyrics and realize how much of a heavy hitter this song really is.... :(

    “Be unique, like everyone else”

  • @TrentCoffinanimator
    @TrentCoffinanimator 8 ปีที่แล้ว +97

    He will do anything to stay in the spotlight, even if it means mutilating himself.
    But in the end, he is the one who ends up losing at his own game when he literally rips his own head off, symbolically throwing away his identity, his soul.
    "Only a fool would give it away..."

    • @armsdragon05
      @armsdragon05 8 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Trent Coffin I also took it to mean that everyone is so quick to throw away their own originality just to be "different, just like everyone else!"

    • @TrentCoffinanimator
      @TrentCoffinanimator 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      definitely that too, yes.

    • @ThePigeonBrain
      @ThePigeonBrain 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I thought it symbolized that he was "headless" that is, reckless.

    • @amandalee4141
      @amandalee4141 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      YOU WILL NEVER BE ORIGINAL UNLESS YOU DO NOT CONFORM TO THE LIES... WAKE UP

    • @tmcl6522
      @tmcl6522 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The ending was the best part... You're thinking the character you're following is the original, the first to do all these original things, when at the end his head rolls into a collective of other heads already committed the final act... Either he's been surpassed in his own original thinking by the others OR we just followed a character who was just copying like the rest, we just didn't see where he got the ideas.

    Very socially conscious video. Those who have eyes to see and ears to understand. 😎

    • @peggyfranzen6159
      @peggyfranzen6159 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      One of my favorite songs, however, the irony is true.I told myself@ 5 years old to never give into the pressure-and I don't.As a scientific mind,I think, and I am.( The square root of minus 1.)Thank you.

  • @imawar54
    @imawar54 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I know some people gave Death Cab a hard time for switching to a major label when they did, but In my opinion they are still the same amazing band they always were, even better perhaps, and are still making amazing music. No matter what label DCFC goes with, they will always be my favorite band.

  • @polinapavlenko7290
    @polinapavlenko7290 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      frankieinfrance "Did you exchange a walk on part in a war for a lead role in a cage?" Is a quote from Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. One of the buildings in the background on this video has "Lead role on a cage" written on it.

    Such a good song, Death Cab can't help write at least one song like this per album (no sunlight, sound of settling, alot of codes and keys, for what reason, etc.)
    It also looks kind of like Grapevine Fires animation

    • @derickendric997

    as some one who lives in LA, I can completely relate. last night I went to a very hip bar for ironically enough an Atlantic band single release party. I knew the crowd would all be in the leather and blank black long shirts like the 1975. so I deliberately wore a white shirt! any way I was the only one in white and I wouldn't be surprised if everyone went out and bought a long white T-shirt!
