| Band of Horses – Our Swords Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think this song is about more than "humbleness" or "suicide" because if you listen to the rest of the song, "Out on the wall sounds of banging is constant coming from your head And desperate the calls came and ringing from those wanna wring your neck" probably means a you are fighting a constant battle with people but no one else besides you seems to care, "traffic stepping on your name" like they're bypassing him/her not even noticing the problem. And no matter how bad your life is you try and keep your head high, but struggling "Stepping on our own toes tonight" "Falling on our own swords tonight" probably also means that no matter how many people your in a conflict with your still struggling with yourself over all, whether you succeed or not. |

| Band of Horses – The Funeral Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think it's about, how a man is so depressed and ready for death that the only thing that's keeping him alive is making sure his (maybe suicidal) loved ones are still alive in the morning hence; "I'm coming up only to show you wrong" And how he's so ready for some sort of death to take toll in his life on any day of any time, "every occasion brilliant day funeral". |
