An indie band formed in the late 1990's, Death Cab For Cutie got its name from a band known as the Bonzos. Its lead singer is Ben Gibbard, who primarily writes lyrics for multiple bands, including the Postal Service. Many people mistake Death Cab For Cutie as an emo band, mainly because of their name and their emotional lyrics. However, their lyrics are more creative and deep than emo gets, and is characterized by emotional thought rather than pure emotions alone. Their sounds are quite diverse, ranging from a pop rock sound to a soft rock sound, but most of their songs cannot be categorized easily (i.e. "President of What" or "Two Cars")
Their only negative side is that they apparently support veganism and animal rights... Damn them!
Arrogant Moron: Ugh, Death Cab For Cutie is just a stupid emo band... They're such pussies!
Guy: If you'd just read their lyrics-
Arrogant Moron: I mean their name says it all! No one names themselves after the shutting down of the heart and brain, taxis, and adorable things without being emo!
Guy: Have you even listened to-
Arrogant Moron: And Ben Gibbard's glasses-
Guy: SHUT THE FUCK UP, JACKASS.

depression like symptoms that arise from prolonged exposure to beautiful but mildly depressing music, ie Bright Eyes, Death Cab for Cutie, and Modest Mouse
i spent a good hour replaying Narrow Stairs and it put me in an hour long funk and rabid death cab syndrome until i plugged in the rapture...

the act of combining the switcheroo with a riding the bull. this involves two men and a women. you fuck a chick doggy style in front of a glass window. you tell her to wait a minute while your friend takes your place. you go in front of the window and wave while your friend whispers in the chicks ear "i have AIDS." the next is obvious.
Jordan: yo max and jon used the switch half cab on paris last night.
Sam: what the fuck is that.
Jordan: i dont know i saw it on urban dictionary. that shits unforgivable.

A way to relive every past heart break while appreciating the journey that brought you to the point in your life where you have learned and moved on from past relationships. Death Cab for Cutie defines the matters of the heart that surface when your mind is wandering somewhere between past and future and you stop and truly feel a fraction of those painful feelings again. A talented bunch who should be sampled by those who have the time to listen to the albums through and through. They cover all relationship issues from long distance to growing up.
OMG, I mean seriously no one gets me! It's just so frustrating.- frustrated girl
Really? I used to think that, but seriously now I know...Death Cab for Cutie understands me. And how I really feel at night when I am laying in my lumpy bed...alone.-understood guy

The act in which you are driving a couple home in the backseat of your car and as she straddles her partner you formally invite yourself into a threesome by reaching back while driving and fingering her from behind.
"Dude, I gave this girl The Indian cab driver for 20 minutes last night and her boyfriend had no idea!"
A great indie band that gets more popular by the album. Their greatest wave of popularity came after appearing on The O.C. playing "Title And Registration".
Some emo kids listen to DCFC, which is total disrespect for the band. DCFC is NOT emo, they are INDIE, almost pop-ish rock. I'd say that DCFC is more for preppy people, or just people with real musical tastes in general.
Many people say they love Death Cab, but they're liars unless they've heard Death Cab's old stuff, and not just their two most recent albums. The old stuff is gold.
My favourite song by Death Cab For Cutie is the original "Title And Registration". But you've never heard that version before, have you?

An extremely awesome band to listen to when you need a break from the loud music with great cds and songs varying from 'Marching Bands of Manhatten', and 'I Will Follow You Into The Dark'.
I listen to Death Cab For Cutie every waking moment because they are so awesome.
