| Bon Iver – Skinny Love Lyrics | 12 years ago |

Sagaxfilos, I think your interpretation makes a lot of sense... I just seem to always let this song be more about how one love always tends to be bigger than the rest, the future ones... he sings about skinny love, maybe that's not a name but simply weaker love(s)... It always seems to me he's hoping for these future skinny loves, however difficult, to get him out of ropes of the old one... Pour salt in his wound to eventually get him out of the pain... Yet, I just find that the song has a somewhat hopeless tone. 'In the morning I'll be with you, but it will be a different 'kind'... Even the quotes kinda mock the new loves... 'come on skinny love, just last the year' seems so desperate as well as the final phrases: 'who will love you, who will fight...' I really like your maternal/conjugal reference, which really also seems to underline what kind of love he's looking for to move him forward... maybe one more safe and stabile... I also think it's quite amazing the amount of guilt the song in my view contains... she's owning the fines, her love is wasted, 'who was I?'... Finally, 'staring at sink of love and crushed veneer'... I love this one, but I can't quite figure it out... perhaps just an image...? btw, try listening to this one... I think she really does the song justice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPNhADttvac |
