If you listen to the live versions, it's clearer that he's saying careless. I feel like they're at a get together with friends and family, and trying to escape without being noticed, thus the "green-eyed look-alikes" and telling his brother not to be careless. He just wants to escape the niceties of a large reunion and reminisce with his dear brother. But I agree that it sounds like they grew apart, somewhat. I think in the end things turned out right, because Sean made the video for White Winter Hymnal. |

I just discovered these guys on last.fm the other day.. and I'm already a huge fan. This is definitely my favorite song of the moment.
I like how personal, yet unspecific and accessible, the lyrics are. He's just talking to his brother and recalling a winter day in their shared past, but for the sake of reminiscing rather than telling any specific story. |

I always feel very sorry for the speaker. He is trying his best to keep the facade of power, but you can hear him breaking down. I could only imagine how emotionally disturbed he must be. |

I'd have to say my favorite song on the album, especially his wonderful violin skills after the last chorus... they make me melt. And it's definitely relatable subject matter. The fear of commitment and wishing to just be done with it all, and how repetitive and uninspiring the dating scene can be.
God I can't wait for him to release another album! |

perhaps there isn't much to it except a reference
he seems to like adding in little things like that even if they don't have a ton of meaning, like the band name he chose, just because he likes the Final Fantasy game series |

| Owen Pallett – Your Light Is Spent Lyrics

Every time you close your eyes and lie still
This song is beautiful, one of my favorites on the album. Especially because of the delivery on the lines "Scan the skies for signs of heaven/Heaven, what use is heaven for you?"
I also love that it's about how he doesn't want a contract or fame, just a guy to keep him warm and spend time with. |
