| The Antlers – Bear Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Think of the animalistic nature of the lyrics. Why would the narrator choose to relate an infant to a cub? There is something being said about the lives of those having the child, which helps further the album as a whole. (concept album) Think of how a 21 year old bear is considered old and how a 21 year old human is understood to be young. There is irony in the fact that the couple having with the child are acting like animals through their selfish nature. Abuse is found not only between themselves, but they are abusing a pure life that is unborn. |

I do not really appeal to the drug high, I think the song heads in more a direction of describing relations among human loss and natural, animalistic habit. You can obviously feel Regan's connection with nature in this song. I believe he is relating the loss of a loved one to the cyclistic nature of animals in the habitat. |

| Bon Iver – Blood Bank Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think that he uses two main metaphors: Blood: life, selfishness and nature of humans Snow: purity, opposite of blood He is just saying that he knows her secrets and thoughts and she knows his blood as well. Maybe even implying that all humans are the same at their core by saying that it is just like his brothers blood. "Then the snow started falling" is the main crest of the song both lyrically and musically. It saying that then the opposite of all of that blood imagery is now covering them. Which means they probably kiss out of relief and joy. She could be pregnant. The moon is a very good hint to that. Moon: Hips: Pregnancy. The most abstract line would have to be the Christmas line. I think that he is just trying to covey how they are now together, and close at that. They are obviously living together and calling each other "babe". Christmas morning is romantic imagery he adds. That is all i have noticed. |
