Death Cab For Cutie - A Lack Of Color Lyrics

2020 here 😊

For a song called “A Lack of Color” it sure is full of a lot of color!

If anyone has ever had doubts of reality, doubts of others feelings , wishes they could've changed somthing that they couldn't, or maybe just at fault for things they didn't do,nor could control...just remember after this beautiful work of art(favorite album) they didn't crash burn. Don't know if only I had to hear that or someone out there....but i found this in early high school and now as an almost 30 year old man truly feel this pain....

bad year

2014 nostalgia

When I listen to it i feel like I'm on a small boat in the middle of the sea. I'm alone on this boat, but that's good. Sometimes it's good. Have nice day or evening or night 💗

You know you’ve grown up when you don’t want to grow up anymore.

me before this song: :)
me after this song: :(

me before this song: :(
me after this song: :'(

I can't believe it's been 11 years since I bought this. It's just as good as the first day I gave it a spin.

Who is Emma?!? Please tell her to stop sending people here. We don't want you here.

stop gatekeeping

@melted usb Honestly, gatekeeping is bad, but when you have a bunch of people united by their collective interest in a song as beautiful as this, and then a couple thousand people come and start talking about some Instagram story it kind of kills it all... The song should be appreciated for it's beauty, not attributed to someone who "sent" you...

Stay strong 💓

Seems like a supposition, how do they know the eyes invert visual stimuli, I would say rather whatever I look at it's whatever I look at

Came here from my sister listening to death cab for cutie in like 08 not this song but just death cab for cutie

anyone else heartbroken at 2am? just me? okay.

430 am my dude

Tyler's Chalupa not just you

12:09am. Big mood.

Aren't we all?

Everyone

I think the background errata really makes this song perfect

The O.C

Emma sent mee

Who is here bc of emma? Lol

Shut the fuck up nobody cares

thanks emma

Came from Emma Chamberlain's Instagram story and I would like to thank her for this. My mom used to play Death Cab For Cutie when I was younger, especially after my father died. It seemed to help the both of us. (I am aware how dumb this sounds but I've been quite down lately)

It doesnt sound dumb ❤ I'm glad you found this song

Not dumb at all! Music is a very therapeutic.

ɢʀᴀᴄᴇ ᴇᴍɪʟʏ aw...hug to you!

Does not sound dumb. At all. Music heals the wounds.

Nobody fucking cares

Emma chambie sent me :')

Found this because i listened to all of their albums just because i felt like it, got really attached to this song? Then i found out emma put this in one of her vlogs and searched "emma chamberlain deathcab for cutie" and her vlog came up. Lol i literally had no idea emma listened to their music.

"I should have given you a reason to stay"

Emma Chamberlain

Alie Smith I came here from her video lol

This song gets me everytime

*Lyrics*
And when I see you
I really see you upside down
But my brain knows better
It picks you up and turns you around
Turns you around, turns you around
If you feel discouraged
When there's a lack of color here
Please don't worry lover
It's really bursting at the seams
From absorbing everything, the spectrum's A to Z
This is fact not fiction
For the first time in years
All the girls in every gillie magazine
Can't make me feel any less alone
I'm reaching for the phone
To call at 7:03 and on your machine
I slur a plea for you to come home
But I know it's too late
And I should have given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay
This is fact, not fiction
For the first time in years

Songwriters: Benjamin Gibbard

Spit Dragon thx

TREYWAY

The guitar accompaniment is so gorgeous.

This song means a lot to me.

Love it...!!!! Lito

Should have given you a reason to stay...

Aghh, que buena canción, no sé por qué no la había escuchado antes.

One of the best songs.

And we should've know that we'd grow up sooner or later

Happens fast

So good even listing to it on the future

Beautiful... I love songs like these.. feel free to give me more suggestions anyone!

Late night alumni - empty streets

The Mars Volta - televators

Check out my lack of color lyric vid :))

I remember my mom playing this album for me all the time when I was little. Now I steel her iPod to listen to this whole album but I have to say this song is my favorite one. I loved the cover and just how it made me and my mom feel so happy. I miss those days when we were close.

Secret of Nimh anyone?

This is my all time favorite song. :)

The guitar rift from 0:07 - 0:12 sounds very familiar to me, not the picking pattern per se but the progression. Ik this is probably in 20 different songs but does anyone have an idea?

Yeah it's from A Lack of Color - Death Cab for Cutie

TrollStack 😂😂😂

Shane S sorry for the lack reply, but maybe you’re thinking of the beginning of Sedona by Houndmouth?

why doesn't this song have more views?

Robert Juarez people are idiots that's why

Robert Juarez because it's a deep cut from an album released four years before YouTube was invented.

*two years

The music video has 6.5 million views

I have some bad memories tied to this song, but I sing it anyways because it's beautiful

Kitty Harper must have been one of those songs that lifted you out of those dark times.

@teya Harper me as well. I’d listen to this as I’d call my ex while he was binging. It’s been 5 years since that time and It still hurts.

teya harper it’s sad we all have bad memories to such beautiful songs

Favorite song by them, just so beautiful and pleasant to the ears.

John Morgan I'd say that it's different. As a musician, the chord progressions are strange so it's off putting. Still an amazing song though.

@Robert Flavor I'm a musician too, and I think I know what you're taking about, but I still love it haha!

yes, odd progressions, but to me that's part of the beauty of this song. I love the melody line and how the chords support it. It's a peaceful resolve at the end of the day with this one. the piano is simple, but I love it. the octaves at the end.. couldn't be more perfect.

Just goes to show that beauty and art will never be cookie cutter

mine too

poor m2k

Love this song!

10/10 album art

9999/0.000001

i like birds so yeah

Secret of NIMH, anyone? Wonder if it’s inspired by that scene where the crow gets tangled in the red string https://youtu.be/f9pz8CUrKxg
Getting tangled up when falling in love

Seth Cohen....chrismukkah

Lol yes! That's why I looked this song up, and I'm glad I did!

Charlie Matar explain someone pleaae

Robert Flavor there was a show called The O.C. which aired from 03-07. A character named Seth Cohen loved Death Cab, it was his favorite band. This song played in the show in an episode about Christmas and Hanukkah merged together. Seth was Jewish. It truly is a great show, you should watch!

does anyone know the cords to this

E-C#m
B-C/B-C#m-B-A

Chords ;)

Probably XLR's.

No doubt LOL

Someone got the joke in under five minutes, I'm considering myself skilled
