Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
And awake in your mouth
Hello Seattle, I am a manta ray
Deep beneath the blue waves
I'll crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound
And construct a summer home
Hello Seattle, I am the crescent moon
Shining down on your face
I will disguise myself as a sleeping pill
And descend inside of you
Hello Seattle, I am a cold seahorse
Feeling warm in your sand
I sing about the tide and the ocean surf
Rolling in the evening breeze [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/o/owl_city/hello_seattle.html ]
Hello Seattle, I am an albatross
On the docks and moored boats
I sail above your inlets and interstates
Through the rain and open wind
Hello Seattle, I am an old lighthouse
Throwing beams of bright lights
Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun
Taking heed for everyone
Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
Take me above your light
Carry me through the night
Hold me secure in flight
Sing me to sleep tonight
Take me above your light
(Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer)
Carry me through the night
(In the hills and highlands)
Hold me secure in flight
(I fall asleep in hospital parking lots)
Sing me to sleep tonight
To me it is about how amazing seattle is. =]
btw it totally is. I go there like every month (i live in tacoma)
it is so beautiful, and green, and big, and the view of the pudget sound from the boardwalk is awesome. X]

Obv-course the song isnt literal! If it was then he would be a light house or a manta ray or something like that! Do you really think a manta ray or a light house could write a song or sing it?! Think people!!!

Seattle's a place's name, boredperson2 . It's a metaphorical song. Maybe it's too deep for ya.
