| Ryan Adams – Save Me Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I'm not sure if the second line of the second verse is correct. I settled on "bend" as if whomever the subject of the song is about is on a heavy drinking or drug binge, as in a bender. I figured it made sense within the context of the song, but I'm not entirely sure it's correct. If someone has something different once the album comes out message me and I'll fix it. | |
| Love as Laughter – Cococunt Flakes Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think it's, "And shake your faith used to steer" or "And shake your faith you use to steer," something along those lines. Meaning the darkness will shake the faith that guides whoever the song is speaking about. |

| Ryan Adams – Silver Bullets Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I can't help but feeling this song is the lament of a vampire. I'd usually be the first to denounce the vampire craze going on right now (yes, I realize this album came out prior to the teen vampire craze), so it kinds irritates me that I feel this way about such a great song. I think the song itself flows with Jacksonville City Nights as a whole, but I also believe RA would write and would get a good kick out of such a double entendre. Here's why I feel like this song could also be about vampires, it should be obvious. Go and get the gun Cause its only getting worse Go and fill it up with silver bullets -Silver bullets kill vampires, werewolves, demons, etc... Cause I cant see the sun But I know its going away And I cant make you love me And you cant make me stay -The narrator can't see the sun because it would harm him. Yet the narrator knows night will fall and he'll become the vampire he doesn't want to be. This causes his lover to no longer love him, although she would if she could make him "stay" his normal self. Alternately I think this line could mean she'll never truly love him, but she doesn't feel that's enough reason for him to kill himself. I'm the wolves at the door You're not supposed to let in But you can't make me feel if I'm not feeling -The narrator realizes they never should have gotten involved. I believe the "feel" that is talked of here, is love, the narrators significant other wants to be loved...but it's really just lust because of the vampire condition. I won't continue on because the song reiterates what I've said just in different words. The narrator in short wants to kill himself because by being a vampire he's robbed of being able to love and be loved like the rest of us. In the end rather than suffer or cause his lover to suffer he commits suicide. Like I said above, I believe this song is more about misbegotten love rather than vampires, but I can't help but see both stories played out here. |

| Bon Iver – Woods Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| To touch on what robbnthahood said. I think the "still" plays an integral part in the song, because when you make moonshine you use the "still" for distilling all the impurities out of the alcohol. First off its illegal to make moonshine, and it's typically done in the back "woods" as to not be discovered or tampered with. I also think it plays into the "slow down the time," because it is a lengthy process that can take weeks. With that said I still believe it's metaphorical for Justin Vernon actual trip to the mountains to find himself. So in short lol, he's in the woods to find himself, and extricate all the impurities in his life so that he can find what makes him pure, genuine, and beautiful; which could takes weeks or months. Just like making moonshine. Either way, it's amazing. | |

Okay, this song is great, it would be better if people put the correct lyrics up. laxgyrl21, and polomajik are both wrong. It's "If I can, what if I can't," just like breezebay11 said. Here are the complete and correct lyrics, from www.answeringbell.com For all the hours here that move too slow There's all this letting go, that don't pass If all this love is real, how will we know? If we're only scared of losing it, how will it last? If I am a stranger now to you I will always be, I will always be Stronger now then me, stronger then you Our love will always be And if we let it go, I will try to be there for you If I can, what if I can't? Today is yesterday when you don't know How to rebuild the walls that someone has knocked down To tell the truth it's hard enough about a lover Who you want to hide your darkness from So they won't let you down If I am a stranger now to you I will always be, I will always be Stronger now then me, stronger then you Our love will always be And if we let it go, I willl try to be there for you I will try and be there for you If I can, what if I can't? For all the hours here that move to slow There's all this letting go, that won't pass If all this love is real, how will we know? And if were only scared of losing it, how will it last? If I am a stranger now to you I will always be, I will always be Stronger now then me, stronger than you Our love will always be If we let it go, I will try to be there for you I will try to be there for you I will try to be there for you If I can, what if I can't? |
