Bon Iver – Bruised Orange (Chain of Sorrow) (John Prine cover) Lyrics 15 years ago
from the diamonds in the sidewalk to the dirt in the gutter
and you carry those bruises to remind you wherever you go.

Bon Iver – Hazelton Lyrics 15 years ago
You wreak and you run is the end of the song, I think that is all about how when things get out of control or out of hand we tend to run from any given bad situations.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR HELPING MAKE A LITTLE SENSE OUT OF THIS SONG! :)

Bon Iver – Hazelton Lyrics 15 years ago
I think this song may be about his father honestly.

Settle up, we're calling up the pain
Stealin' dad? You're single, hide the strain
You came, you saw, you sawed her brain
You cut out all the parts that held your stain

Settle up as in get ready for pain, for heartache.
If this part is what I feel he is saying, He is talking to some woman or something that is stealing his dad away from someone or something.
This is where I feel that he is discussing how he was "cutting out all the parts that held his stain" such as memories and ties to that person/thing.


sitting clad you're feeling wild to blame
She's crying now you're climbing down your claim
Sitting up you're counting up your names
Seen enough to bend him off the frame

The woman who is stealing dad is caught or something along those lines and is crying (could even be adultery, dunno)...Seen enough to bend him off the frame....of the picture. We "picture" families together ect...

You came, you saw, you sawed her brain
You cut out all the parts that held your stain

You clipped, you clawed to no applause
You lost the will to bolt the lying gauze.

They fought and clawed to no end to make the relationship work but unfortunately, nothing seemed to get better. Eventually loosing the will to try to fix the relationship (think of whatever the situation as a wound)

so try to be somebody
so try to fee somebody
so try to leave somebody
so hard/try to be somebody

Life is tough.

The Tallest Man on Earth – Burden of Tomorrow Lyrics 15 years ago
Personally I feel this song is about Mother Earth.

"Oh I was sent to find the lonesome place" is our galaxy and in terms of life the only one with any for billions of miles away (or even at all).

"Oh but rumor has it that I wasn't born
I just walked in one frosty morn" Specifically Christians believe that God created the earth and all life that resides on it.

"But I will fight this stranger that you should fear
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow dear" For me, this is my favorite part of the entire song. I'm not entirely sure who/what will fight the stranger but I feel the stranger is us and we are the burden of tomorrow. We have literally changed the face of the earth. Some of this to me even is a stretch, but for me this is what this song has come to mean for me.
