Bon Iver Holocene lyrics

 
"someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me"
You're laying waste to Halloween
You fucked it friend, it's on it's head, it struck the street
You're in Milwaukee, off your feet

... and at once I knew I was not magnificent
Strayed above the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/bon_iver/holocene.html ]
3rd and Lake it burnt away, the hallway
Was where we learned to celebrate
Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
That night you played me 'Lip Parade'
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
Saying nothing, that's enough for me

... and at once I knew I was not magnificent
Hulled far from the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles

Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
Above my brother, I and tangled spines
We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
Now to know it my memory:

... and at once I knew I was not magnificent.
High above the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles

This song means that you are all self absorbed, self-loathers who try to pretend you aren't, and who think much too highly of themselves as to try to discern meaning of a song you had no part in creating because you have nothing better to do than to wish you could have created it. Instead, go create something you really know the meaning of. Yeah, this song probably has deep meaning about something, but take it as you see it and embrace it, don't try to "educate" the rest of the web world with your unbridled wisdom about a personal feeling that someone else created for you.

The skies give me meaning
the distance shouts direction
the cold sets my blood alive
the ice blinds my sight
yet i can see for miles and miles.. I'm stronger when i die
i'm weaker when i sigh
i'm loving to become
i m me and him and them !

How are people getting any meaning from these lyrics?! It's gibberish. Lovely song though.

This song has profound meaning about the relationship of man and woman. As a man he cannot live up to her expectations of the life that she was raised in: a life of privilege, self indulgence, narcissism and vanity. He is feeling inadequate because his manliness is miniscule and insignificant. He cannot live in her world of access and excess. His de minimus physical member does not service her adequately. She needs a bigger member. Much bigger.

To me this song touchs many different feelings... Feelings of disappointment in oneself but yet learning about my life , the struggles and the help along the way , the memory's and the thoughts of a life that should of been

When you realize, that you're a part of something bigger than yourself, your own problems appear no longer relevant. It does not matter where you failed in your personal life. All your problems vanish, when you look out into the vast space - and jagged vacance? - of mountains. There's only you, the nature - maybe mountains - and your memory. But there's no remorse, no guilt in you. In this moment of clarity you feel the peace of the nature.

I love the melancholy of this song and the humility in "saying nothing, that's enough for me". I can't get enough of its mood. Thank you, bon iver!

It's about broken dreams. The dream of early youth, to find the love of your love only to find that it doesn't last. To find that you've hit rock bottom and off on your own. I could see miles, miles, miles means the emptiness that comes from the dissillution of this experience. This is referenced as halloween as a metaphor for autumn which comes with the fall and morphing of nature around us. When the beauty of color is lost and nothing is left but empty branches.

The second part references winter or christmas. The cold and lost of innocence and youth. The reference to his brother stands for the family essence as in the end everyone can leave but your brother, tangled spines, will never leave your side. Together both stare out into the emptiness of what is left from life.

This song is about a man in love with a women who lost her for one reason or another and he feels he was not good enough for her or didnt do all he could to save her from the clutches of what was bringing her down. -jm

I feel like it talks about the true meaning of finding yourself and realizing ones restrictions or limits
