Death Cab For Cutie - Some Boys Lyrics






Some boys are filling, some boys are filling the hole
They're making the killing at the top of the billings
Their role, and that's all that they know
But some boys don't listen, some boys don't listen at all
They don't ask for permission, they lack inhibitions
No walls, and they get what they want

But some boys don't know how to love

Some boys are singing, some boys are singing the blues
Joylessly flinging with the girls that they're bringing to their rooms
And then leave them, they're through
Some boys are sleeping, some boys are sleeping alone
Cause there's no one that's keeping them warm through evening
They know that they're on their own

Some boys don't know how to love

Some boys are filling, some boys are filling the hole
Some boys are sleeping, some boys are sleeping alone

Some boys don't know how to love [x4]

They won't get what they want

  1. S.... P....

    To be one of those boys, hurts like hell.

    Rat Trap supervisor not even CLOSE to the truth

    raped and molested always take up for their predators

    A.... ....

    Rat Trap supervisor um please take your homophobia else where that'd be great hun

    A.... ....

    and homophobes? what do they lived in them childhood to grab that andry about people that only want to be happy?

  5. T.... ....

    some boys are sleeping alone...

  6. E.... ....

    The seems to erroneously assume that all men want or need the validation of being useful to a woman. A man is not, and should not, be defined by his relation to women, and there isn't anything "wrong" with him for not wanting to conform with the traditional relationship/marriage/family model. This because everyone is unique, and we don't all need the same things out of life.

    There may be men out there who want that, and don't understand how to get it, but don't assume that it is the role all men should conform to or else be judged negatively.

    E.... ....

    And vice versa. The sooner we come to understanding that grouping people and characterising them is silly the better this experiment gets. I agree with that in the big picture, but that is not what this song is about and assuming that they are speaking for all when the song deliberately says some is a bit of a stretch.

    E.... ....

    There is a group of people, however that wants to find joy in a long term companionship but can't and wish they could

    E.... ....

    Um.... That's why this song is called SOME boys

  7. s.... ....

    They know that they're on their own ...

  8. T.... H....

    So true. And sad.. And kind of cute. 

  9. A.... ....

    I love this song, but it makes me so sad when I listen to it.  AHH!

  10. D.... W....

    btw what is your interpretation in that case? and why're you so upset and aggressive about it??

  11. D.... W....

    ... free speech. I'll give my interpretation of whichever track I want to, whenever I want to.

  12. D.... W....

    thanks for the different interpretation. I think you're onto something there for sure

  13. m.... ....

    Thank you for your contribution. I don't really care about artistic sensibility to be honest. Lighten up man :)

  14. k.... ....

    You've completely missed the whole meaning of the song.. The song is basically about a bunch of guys in general and how they deal with love/relationships. Pay attention to each verse. They're all about different types of guys. In fact, the notion that there are only "nice guys" and "douchebags" goes completely against what the song is trying to say. There are many types of guys in the world, and however good or bad they are, they're just looking for "love" or at least what they think "love" is.

  15. N.... G....

    Like if u heard this song on Smash first :)

  16. K.... D....

    That Katharine McPhee version SUCKED compared to DCFC's version!

  17. K.... P....

    Check out the show Smash on NBC this Tuesday....Katharine Mcphee is going to be covering this song! :)

  18. j.... ....

    Maybe give Nickelback a go, they're a little easier to understand.

  19. j.... ....

    Look at Paul's comment, he gets the gist. I'm not the only one.

  20. j.... ....

    sounds like you don't have any artistic sensibility. I do think he meant it literally, and metaphorically. He says it so plainly because there is no emotion in the act. The whole nice guys finish last idea, while douche bags who could care less are just "filling a hole".

    I get it - but some people aren't analytic or empathetic enough to understand these things.

  21. C.... G....

    Go home Diction, you're drunk...

  22. C.... ....

    Eatmydiction1

  23. P.... N....

    wrong? There's obvious sexual connotations. There are blatant references to unsatisfying sex throughout the whole song.

  24. M.... ....

    Stiles Stilinksi brought me here! great song

  25. m.... ....

    Sounds like you don't have a sense of humor :D

  26. j.... ....

    sounds like your friends are losers

  27. B.... B....

    GREAT SONG 5*****'s

  28. d.... ....

    @patrickzaucha lmao! I never even noticed. but still. I love dcfc

  29. M.... A....

    I told by friends to listen to this.. they took "Some boys are filling the hole" soo wrong :/

    M.... A....

    And yet... is that interpretation actually wrong in this case? If all you're doing is 'filling the hole', chances are, you'll probably feel like your relationship is missing something, or are trying to compensate for a different part of the relationship with sex. Multiple meanings to 'filling the hole'.

    love them!! they are my favorite band :) just sayinn!
