ok here's a little more: "Don't want to get out of bed Less he feel like it justified" -he doesn't want to try again unless it justifies the earlier bite on the leg, i.e. the bad thing that happened. I'm not sure what the dog represents in all of this. "Here comes the loaf again Drip a lot, drip a lot" -the loaf (like a loaf of bread that a dog would eat) could be a vice/weakness that caused the earlier failure, and he still wants it, "Drip a lot" could be like a dog salivating for food (the loaf) |

Ok, here's my interpretation: (it's pretty vague, I'll have to listen to it another million times to fully realize it) "This dog got bit on a leg He got a really big chip on a leg Don't want to get out of bed Less he feel like it justified" -something bad happened, (This dog got bit on a leg He got a really big chip on a leg) and he doesn't want to get up to try again, what's the point- I'm not yet sure about the justified part. "Here comes the loaf again Drip a lot, drip a lot Become an oaf again Trip a lot, trip a lot" -not sure about the loaf and the drip, but the "Become an oaf again Trip a lot, trip a lot" part sounds like he's making a bad decision (becoming an oaf) and messing up again and again, (Tripping a lot) "So wide to the other side Shuts an eye" -it's so far to a goal, "shuts an eye" could mean a change in perspective. "But he stays like a stump inside" -even with a changed perspective, he still feels dead inside, like a tree stump. "Upon the gusts he glide" -pulled by whims and outside forces, "Brittle mind, brittle mind" -an unwillingness to change, this correlates to the "Stump Inside" line the tone of the lyrics change drastically in this part of the verse. "Toward a bigger sign Every time, every time" -this is a pretty easy part, (or so i think) the bigger sign is a divine message that he tries to reach, again and again, "So much for the safest vibe Tossed aside" -with this sign/ goal as his destination, he abandons the familiar and safe things to reach that goal, "But he burns like a blaze inside -he's on fire now, straining towards his sign/goal, full of fervor and passion for his cause. the apparent theme of this song, and many of his songs, in continuing and, despite repeated failures, pushing forward. this is all my opinion, and I'm most likely very wrong about a lot of the meanings in this song. lastly, when I say "he" I don't necessarily refer to Noah, I'm using it as a general term, but as the song is titled "Mr Noah", I assume that it's about him. I hope that this all makes sense; what do you think? |

This is an amazing song... I'll try to decipher it later... i just want to say that, in the past year, events have happened in my life, and right after each one, i would hear a Panda Bear song that I haven't heard before, and it would completely relate to my situation. I won't share everything, because it's personal, but here's 2 instances: I had just learned something shocking about a girl that I really, really liked. this information caused me to not like her, in a painful way. the next day, I heard "Last Night At The Jetty" for the first time. This one is even better. The first time I smoked weed, I wanted to pack a lot of experiences into my first high, which included listening to songs from my favorite artist. I go on youtube, and what should I find? Yup. Cosplay. that was practically a religious experience. There were other, more personal experiences that corresponded to me finding/re-appreciating more of his songs, including "You Can Count On Me" I know that this song will apply to my situation, as I've been writing this I've been trying to decipher the lyrics and they're already connecting. :) Panda Bear Bliss :) Also, we share the same first name, so there's that. |

| I think that It's about visiting his sister, Abby Portner, in the hospital. Prior to this album, she had tear duct cancer, which really depressed David. | |

wow. this song really spoke to me. i recently learned something bad about someone that i really liked. i felt like i was changing myself for this person... I don't want to describe something that I'm not I don't want to hide the hopes that I have I want to enjoy what's meant to enjoy Not try to find slights and slurs to employ those /\ lyrics were the exact opposite of what i was doing... then i learned something about this person, and i started judging them for it but the i realized: You have your ways I have my ways We have our ways And I'll call you my friend i would've considered this person "my dream"... but not anymore... And I'll call you my dream that I once had Did I have it, anyway? Seems that I once had Now I'll have them all the time |
