"Doors Unlocked and Open" Death Cab for Cutie

"Doors Unlocked and Open" is a 2011 song about California by the alternative rock band Death Cab For Cutie from the album Codes and Keys.

Commonly assumed to be entitled "California", Death Cab For Cutie's "Doors Unlocked and Open" provides a musical drive through the Golden State to a retro New Wave beat...

... comfortably isolated by safety glass and air conditioning.

The song's "dotted lines", "seas of concrete", "streaking colors blurred into one" and "mile markers counting down" seem to lyrically describe an adventurous observation of California's high-speed car culture.

Covering the realms of the sun-blinded sky, dehydrated earth and undersea motion, the lyrics to "Doors Unlocked and Open" subconsciously open listeners' "wild eyes" to a spectrum within the glint, gleam and glare of California's gilded crowns.

One of the most subliminally captivating California songs of all time, "Doors Unlocked and Open" by Death Cab For Cutie will still be playing at top volume decades from now.
