from: http://wordsworthmedia.wordpress.com/2008/07/14/bon-iver-excavates-kumran-on-re-stacks/ Bon Iver Excavates Kumran on â€�re: stacksâ€� Posted on July 14, 2008 by Orr | 25 Comments This my excavation and today is Kumran Everything that happens is from now on These lines open â€�re: stacks,â€� the final song on Bon Iver’s debut, For Emma, Forever Ago. Kumran (usually spelled â€�Qumranâ€�) is the site where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in 1947. It symbolizes a personal catharsis for Justin Vernon, the band’s sole member; Vernon retreated to his father’s Wisconsin log cabin for three months to record the album, chop wood, and generally be alone. He explains the Kumran metaphor himself here: When they found them it changed the whole course of Christianity, whether people wanted to know it or not. A lot of people chose to ignore it, a lot of people decided to run with it, and for many people it destroyed their faith, so I think I was just looking at it as a metaphor for whatever happens after that is new shit. The song also hints at a slow shedding of the skin, rather than a complete catharsis. In the last verse, Vernon sings: This is not the sound of a new man or crispy realization It’s the sound of the unlocking and the lift away Your love will be safe with me It’s not a â€�crispy realizationâ€� or a click of a lock in the door – a clean break from the past. In the final line he says that some of the past’s love will continue with him, like a pendant or a memory that won’t fade. Not convinced? Vernon’s mom, Justine Vernon (real name, we assume), totally agrees. In this very adorable feature featuring several â€�indie rock momsâ€� she says, â€�To me, it is not about getting over things and moving forward, it is about going through the sadness, taking some of it with you and being made whole because of it. I cry every time I listen to it.â€� What’s good enough for Mrs. Vernon is good enough for us. |

I agree with linguini ''And when I get scared I can act like I'm crazy '' This can also refer to how people get scared when their (ex-)partner ends the relationship and they act silly in trying to convince their partner to change their mind... |

Queen of Corona = a female who is good (or the best) at giving fellatio (http://www.urbandictionary.com/) So, 2 or more young persons were caught having sex. Could be gay or straight. I don't know. The singer runs away because "it's against the law" Why against the law? 1. under aged sex or 2. Gay sex or both... |
