Bon Iver – Blood Bank Lyrics 12 years ago
all but the part about the blood didn't make sense to me, but the pregnancy thing or car crash or whatever, they all sorta fit. but as for the actual blood bank part, i think in a way, he's trying to say that right down to the very core of our being, we're all, i dont wanna say the same, but we're similar in how we act and think, even if we desperately try to portray ourselves as being different and soley, unique individuals. like we use all of this fake stuff to mask what we really are. cuz he was writing about how the blood all resembles each other even if it's all dressed up in these plastic bags. and that was my favorite part if you think about it we're like all born the same tree. but our mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters and friends and just other people prune out branches until we're old enough to prune our own, but by that point we've really only learned how to prune the way they do so we just blindly follow them but we play it off as we're doing something different for ourselves. but in the end we're all still the same tree. if that made any sense
