Manchester Orchestra – I Can Feel a Hot One Lyrics 13 years ago
"The way that song is written is, in the first half I'm basically just describing touring and kind of my relationship with God and my wife," he explains. "And the end is about this dream I had about us being in the van and getting sideswiped and hit by a huge truck. I dreamed my wife was pregnant at the time and I lost her. But this life was inside her, and in some weird way I was able to celebrate that there was some new life coming with one ending."

That's a direct quote from Hull. I can't believe people really think this is about drug addiction. It's so much more intimate than that.

The Follow Through – So High Lyrics 13 years ago
So, turn the lights down low
Turn the lights down
I got a movie we can watch until you fall asleep on my chest
So tell me right now
So tell me right now
Is there any place that you'd rather be other than here?
Lets forget the rest
And I swear, I swear
When I first saw you and talked to you
You gave me purpose with every single word you'd say
You took my breath away

I am so high
I am never coming down
Because you're mine
You decided to stay, decided to stay around
And as time is ticking away
You stay the same, you stay the same
You stay here with me

And our futures are splitting us apart as we speak
We'll get to that when it comes around
None of that really matters now
Because you're here with me
So tell me you love me
'Cause it makes me feel alive
For the first time
I love you too

Tell me how long we have up here
Away from everything we fear
'Cause I don't wanna come back down tonight
I swear, I will fight until we're the last to stand
Until it's you left holding my hand
And our love, our love will burn so bright

Bright Eyes – Easy/Lucky/Free Lyrics 15 years ago
I think most of Oberst's stuff is "up for interpretation" because that's just how he writes.

So, my interpretation is that this song is about various "sad situations" like at first, the war. Next, he talks about the loss of his father or someone close to him. And it kind of gives off that "be strong" vibe. He's saying don't let it get in the way. Maybe it's even someone telling him to be strong.

Just my thoughts.
