| Bon Iver – Wisconsin Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
A typical wisconsin bar scenario that happens every else too... He broke up with his girl. He tried to make it easy 'cause he still loves her and she's decided to blatantly "live it up" now despite the hurt it might cause him... getting wasted, dancing on the bar for every grimy word from every grimy guy ("show us your tits! Woo! etc."). Love is all you get for investing in love, kind of like the saying "no good deed goes unpunished" where if you're nice you get screwed over in the end. Now Wisconsin has nothing for him, yet he has no choice but to take this sad memory with him where ever he goes. Everybody has been in something similar and/or had to listen to a sad-sack friend cry over such an experience. Another probably element given the author: Eau Claire, WI isn't that big of a town and if your ex is out making a scene you're gonna hear about it if not actually see if for yourself. |
