| Iron & Wine – An Angry Blade Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| I love how short and concise the lyrics are and how simple the sound is, but how heavy the message is regardless of the soft singing voice. | |

Some of it sounds like it's addressed to someone that hangs on to fears/problems from the past, hence the "dust", as if the problem has been there for a long time. And the lyric "little voices left to rot and plot" implying that there are internal anxieties that have been around for a long time that are still bothering the person who is being addressed in the song. A lot of it I'm still thinking about, really, but I figured I'd put this out there just for the sake of discussion. Anyone else have some interpretations? |

| Scarling – Stapled To The Mattress Lyrics | 9 years ago |

To me it kind of sounds like it's someone fighting alcoholism in the person they're involved with and identifying that even though they love them very much, they can't help them. Mainly the verse "You traipse on your loved ones Most who will disown you You’ll search for a family, those you can destroy Methodically sickened, by their inhibitions But rather then fix it- you will just avoid" "You traipse on your loved ones, most who will disown you" - to traipse is to stumble or walk slowly or clumsily, like trudging or stumbling, much like a drunk does when under the influence. And although it's often a very sad decision, friends and family may distance themselves from someone who is too lost in their own sickness. "You’ll search for a family, those you can destroy " - they want to find someone to feel sad and sick with, and on a subconscious level, they want to make that "family" just as sick as they are so they don't feel alone in it. " Methodically sickened" due to alcoholism often being referred to as an illness of sorts, and then going down to "But rather then fix it- you will just avoid" How a lot of alcoholics drink to avoid thinking about why they drink, and avoid getting to the root of the problem. That's just how that specific excerpt sounds to me though. |
