Superchunk – Every Single Instinct Lyrics 15 years ago
I'll leave some of your interpretations even if I am not sure of them, but surely:

Oh what did I think (would happen)
Bank robberies and a few drinks (slip back in)
Every page torn out in a planner penciled in doubt,
Color slides, and India Ink
Landscapes strung up and still wet
Former ranges now lay flat
Barely spring but green enough
Obviously scarred but not too tough

Every single instinct, rung them out like rags-- every one I ever had
Every fork and turn-off following your lead, evergreens and _____ foam seas
Formulas and foul-ups tied in canvas bags shredded into tiny scabs
Every single instinct, rung them out like rags-- every one I ever had

Every single instinct

Superchunk – Unbelievable Things Lyrics 15 years ago
As much as I prefer your take on the line, "And I: a bird without wings", I believe it's actually, "Exotic bird without wings".

Uncle Tupelo – Chickamauga Lyrics 15 years ago
"When jousting is for pleasure then pleasure is way out of hand..."-- love that line. Jousting is essentially fighting over nothing real... baubles and trophies. Jay's saying if we're fighting for fun, our definition of fun is totally out of whack.

According to Jay's website, it's "Appalachian-soaked patience." Which means either NO patience, or alcohol-soaked patience. Appalachians are stereotyped as moonshiners, and as always feuding between clans.

The song is obviously about Jay and Jeff... trying to put out fires between them by throwing matches at each other from opposing trenches. Being entrenched symbolizes being unwilling or unable to discuss peace terms. They can't come face to face. Jay feels like he's been fighting the bloodiest war ever and is sad to see his own solitude ahead, though he clearly is tired of fighting.
