![]() She's very real in his memory and imagination, so real that he cannot focus on the 2 inches in front of his face, the future or any other relationship) She existed in the past and with all of these thoughts flying through his head, he's having trouble keeping his feet on the ground. Maiden is the woman from his past and, no, he didn't make her up. The fall from grace wasn't made up, nor the faded luck of the relationship. The past relationship wasn't merely made up in his imagination/dreams, it was real and he's having difficulty dealing with it. No it wasn’t maiden-up, the falling or the faded luck nose up in the globes indicates, to me, that his head is not where it should be, it's out there somewhere in the cosmos and he's no good to anyone, especially himself) (He tried, but it failed anyway so he turned to alcohol or other substances and they battled - fleshed it out. Nose up in the globes, you never know if you are passing out (It seems to me that it was just the start of the new relationship and already this early on, he's having difficulty during the time when relationships are generally the most exciting, when they're new)Īiming and it sunk and we were drunk and we had fleshed it out (He's hoping for a little sweetness during this difficult time which might fill the semi loveless pale which, at this stage, is all he can offer to his current relationship since he's still shaking from this one in his past) Honey in the hale could fill the pales of loving less with vain (He's still searching for the strength from within and is contemplating not starting another relationship as he's not ready and may never be) Searching for an inner clout, may not take another bout He's second guessing himself, replaying the relationship again and again, wondering if he were a different person, if circumstances were different, what he could have done, etc.) "I hadn't the breadth to shake" He didnt have the strength to battle these spookey ghosts). The inner claims that he's making are ghosts/demons. (A raze is an area that has been destroyed. Resting in a raze the inner claims I hadn’t breadth to shake Pane obviously rhymes with Pain I don't this is a coicidence as we see further on). He's watching something bad, but doesn't really have the power to influence a change. (Conveys images of someone pressed against glass while looking out at something beyond their control. Pressed against the pane could see the veins and there was poison out This short relationship will influence his vision of the future and other relationships he will have in his life, as we will see later on in the lyrics). When it's frigid and blustery, your eyes start to water and this distorts your vision, the cold blurs your sight. He keeps replaying it in his head (something I've had trouble with throughout the years). "it'd all be back" I'm assuming that this part is the difficulty Justin had/has of lettting this short but momentous occurrence in his life go. ![]() He fell in love fast and it appears that the relationship ended just as quickly. (He was waiting to fall in love, or waiting for sex. Hurdle all the waitings up, know it wasn’t wedded loveĤ long minutes end and it was over it’d all be back The second line conveys images of skinny dipping, youthful fun) ![]() Melic in the naked, knew a lake and drew the lofts for page I was unafraid, I was a boy, I was a tender age you did it more than justice.My Interpretation judging from everything I know about the first album and Justin Vernon's life: This has been one of my fave bon iver tracks 4 a looong time.

A minute would mean the world to me :D I make and do EVERYTHING myself! I'm 15 you will be very surprised, it takes so much hard work and its hard to get noticed even if it is good quality. I felt that such an open-ended song deserved another version, so here it is, a little gutsier." I love the tranquility of the original version, but the way it comes out whenever I try to sing it is always kind of bold and raw. This song is one of my favourites to play late at night on the deck or at a campfire. It's such a beautiful song that it almost transcends meaning it is open to interpretation, but arguably better without it as just a wash of vowels and consonants. "A friend and I once chatted about this song and it made realize how vague and cryptic the lyrics are at face value, while somehow being resonant and evocative at some deeper level. ![]()
