| Arcade Fire – The Well and the Lighthouse Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think Triemsma hit the nail on the head for what this song is about. I just wanna throw in that I think in a very cartoony sense. So therefore, I imagined this character jumping into the well. But, the bottom of the well is the top of the lighthouse. So when he reaches the bottom of the well, his world is flipped upside down and he can see out of the windows that he is in fact, trapped in the top of a lighthouse. All that I'm really trying to say is that I imagine someone who initially fell down but eventually fell upward. Otherwise, the real meaning was previously stated. |

I like ponyup's comment about this being related to burying luck, because I connected the first three songs in my head as well. In Burying Luck, the narrator dreams of the Man in the Hole, who steals his girl and ruins his life. He the wakes up only to find out it actually happened. In Ice Monster, I imagined the Man in the Hole speaking to the narrator of Burying Luck. He tells him that she's gone cross the border, to someplace safe where she can be away from him. With the transition into Knights, I saw the first narrator following her into this beautiful, safe world. The lyrics of the song is him trying to make amends, " I owe you, don't I?" and trying to solve the problems that he most likely caused so that he can at least sleep well at night. Anyway, that probably isn't what Minus the Bear had in mind, but my imagination got carried away when it heard this album. |

| Minus the Bear – Dr. L'ling Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think that the whole point of this song is his stating that he wishes to not become mundane about love. He was afraid of become a casual businessman (boring and routine) on matters of the heart (love.) | |
| Minus the Bear – Steel and Blood Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I originally just thought that this was just a story about a car crash, but I feel like it's really about how much he realizes that he cares about this girl after the car crash. The whole "I'll be by your bedside" part really has a lot of emotion in it. Plus, he uses the wording "two become one" which almost puts a romantic twist on this horrible incident. | |
