Covered As: The Shins - We Will Become Silhouettes by The Postal Service
We Will Become Silhouettes by The Shins
I've got a cupboard with cans of food
Filtered water, and pictures of you
And I'm not coming out until this is all over
And I'm looking through the glass
Where the light bends at the cracks
And I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
Pretending the echoes belong to someone
Someone I used to know

And we become silhouettes
When our bodies finally go

I wanted to walk though the empty streets
And feel something constant under my feet
But all the news reports recommended that I stay indoors
Because the air outside will make
Our cells divide at an alarming rate
Until our shells simply cannot hold
All our insides in, and that's when we'll explode
(And it won't be a pretty sight)

And we'll become silhouettes
When our bodies finally go
Give Up

This is a bad analogy, but the lines "but all the news reports recommended that
I stay indoors
because the air outside will make our cells
divide at an alarming rate" remind me of the San Diego fires when we couldn't leave our houses, too much smoke

This song's pretty good, but not one of my favorites. It just doesn't catch me.

the music isn't all that great - it's the lyrical appoarch that really takes the grade for this track...

I thinkthe music in it is great. The organs are something that you don't hear all that often anymore.

Jenny Lewis' contribution to the vocals is beautiful.
God I love that woman.
