I think it's about gambling in general.

Bon Iver – Holocene Lyrics 11 years ago
I think this song is about a disabling trauma...honestly hard to know for sure, but it sure seems to be that way...

Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me"
You're laying waste to Halloween
You fucked it friend, it's on it's head, it struck the street
You're in Milwaukee, off your feet

>>Smashing pumpkins in the street (laying waste to halloween), someone's head hitting the pavement (off their feet)?

And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Strayed above the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
And I could see for miles, miles, miles

>>The recognition that you are forever changed, no longer magnificent, thrown on the highway, thick with ice, between life and death (I can see for miles and miles)

3rd and Lake it burnt away, the hallway
Was where we learned to celebrate
Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
That night you played me 'Lip Parade'
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
Saying nothing, that's enough for me

>>They were going somewhere to celebrate but no more, now the talk is "automatic" like Steven Hawking, no way to speak.
>>Not the stitches that come with the accident
>>No way to speak

And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Hulled far from the highway aisle (Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
And I could see for miles, miles, miles

>>Back to the accident

Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
Above my brother, I and tangled spines
We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
Now to know it in my memory

>>He is looking at his brother, tangled spine
>>Smoked the screen - they did the best they could with it, didn't go deep personally

And at once I knew I was not magnificent
High above the highway aisle (Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
But I could see for miles, miles, miles

>>Back to the accident
