| Bon Iver – Blood Bank Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| It fluttered briefly in the palms of my hands, then was gently carried away by the breeze. My last fuck is gone. I have none left to give. | |

I think the lyrics "Always in a rush/Never stay on the phone /Long enough/Why am I so self important?" is her way of saying that someone she knew committed suicide and she missed the warning signs or they simply died and she never spent time with them when she really cared for them. "Said I'd see you soon/But that was, oh, /Maybe a year ago/Didn't know time/Was of the essence" is her feeling guilty that she didn't take the time to see the signs. Or that she wished she'd spent more time with said person. "So many questions/But I'm talking to myself/I know that you can't hear me/Anymore. Not anymore" is her saying she wish she could ask them why they did or the more she wanted to know about them before they died. "So much to tell you/And most of all goodbye/But I know that you can't hear me/Anymore" is her wanting to tell the person how she felt and and what she wanted them to know. But obviously they're dead. "It's so loud inside my head With words that I Should have said And as I drown in my regret I can't take back The words I never said" she's filled with regret but can't take it back. She said things she didn't mean and is afraid they thought she meant them. "Always talkin shit Took your advice And did the opposite Just being young and stupid" this person was wise, maybe a mentor, and she disrespected them and regrets it. "Oh I haven't been all that you Could have hoped for But if you'd hung on A little longer You'd have had more reasons To be proud" the mentor maybe tried to help her but she wouldn't take it. So they killed themselves or shut her out, only they died before she could improve. "Oh So many questions But I'm talking to myself I know that you can't hear me Anymore. Not anymore. So much to tell you And most of all goodbye But I know that you can't hear me Anymore" Same as before. "The longer I stand here The louder the silence I know that your gone But sometimes I swear That I hear Your voice when the wind blows So I talk to to the shadows Hoping you might be listening 'Cause I want you to know " The more she dwells on it, the more she wants to change it so she imagine they're there and talks to them, telling them what she wants them to know when she's not sure they can hear her. Overall I think it's about a girl who lost a mentor or close friend to suicide or the same person who shut her out and gave up only they died before she could improve and she wants to know more about them and wants them to know how well she is doing. |
