Iʼm tearing up, across your face
Move dust through the light
To find your name
It's only faint
This is not a place
Not yet awake, I'm raised to make [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/bon_iver/perth.html ]
Still alive for you, love
Still alive for you, love
Still alive for you, love
In a matter of a month
From forests, for the soft
Gotta know been lead aloft
So rid of all your stories
What I know, what it is, is boring wire it up!
Now breaking new ground

Perth is also a small town in ontario. He has a song called calgary so maybe he had a canadian lover? Just a thought. Canadian lover... What the hell did i just write?

They leave it open to interpretation so each person may relate: originally to me, it was about lost love, but then it seemed to relate more to the loss of a close fried for me, but on occassion, it makes me think about my ex... The lyrics being incoherent thoughts is actually pure genius. They're coherent, but you need to fill in the blanks with what's in your heart...

It's obviously about the western australian capital because who wouldn't write a song about perth? It's lovely

Keep thinking the lyrics are deep. If i wanted to hear this i would listen to some james taylor or jackson browne, and least they tell a comprehensible story and have actual melodies aside from an average falsetto voice drowned in reverb over a cacaphony of below average instrumentation.

I've heard him say it was about witnessing a friend of his grieving the loss of another friend, who happened to be heath ledger.

Losing the one you love and not willing to lose it or give it up for fear that it will not be the same the next time around

It does sound like a song dedicated to someones death
the whole first verse to me sounds like someones died in a war or in some kind of battle
and i think the drums that play support that.

I love how you can play perth and minesota, wi after each other without noticing it has gone to the another track

Heath ledger was a friend of their's, and he was born in perth. Not sure if there's any connection, but it's an interesting fact.
