Bon Iver – Big Red Machine Lyrics 13 years ago
Here's how I interpret this song:

[Big Red Machine] Symbolizes the heart, love.


[We're safe when love would come in] - We feel happy and hopeful when we have love,
[We read my mind so many times] - and we learn everything about the people we love.
[The Earth is only sand]
[Fucked up and puked up in dismay] - even when the earth is a cold and dark, messed up place,
[And resolve to slowly run in circles]
[So slow] - even when you are forced to live the same painful life day after day.


[The fence that you sent me] - the fence of love a person gives you protects you from the painful things in life,
[Rolling along the bottom] - when we're down and out,
[Jesus]
[For I'm feeling sad]
[So many killed] - we feel bad for the people who are dead inside from what's been done to them in the world.



[They're running their engine] - those people have hearts just like everyone else,
[Just like you ought to be] - just like you should.
[To me, my heart]
[Could I correct the dawn] - if I could stop the pain I get from being a loving person
[My body]
[The sorry might do it] - I would be a sorrier person without it.
[Long lift one line] - a funeral
[Big red machine] - of the heart


[That's all I've learned: To suffer]- as a loving person you spend a lot of time loving and suffering because of the sadness you feel for others pain.
