Der Songtext "Transatlanticism" von "Death Cab for Cutie" beschreibt eine Metapher für eine Beziehung, die sich auseinan...

The atlantic was born today and I'll tell you how
The clouds above opened up and let it out
I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
When the water filled every hole
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean making islands
Where no islands should go (oh no)

Most people were overjoyed: They took to their boats
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat
The rythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door
Have been silenced forevermore
And the distance is quite simply much to far for me to row:
It seems farther than ever before (oh no)

I need you so much closer...
