Creature Fear

The 'anonymous' creature metaphor is something I've seen pop up in multiple lyrics before, and the lyrics often revolve around the same interpretation of this creature. In this song, I think of this creature as being the collective subconscious. It's the inner self within us that we don't want to reveal to others out of fear of becoming too vulnerable, so we spend our entire lives mastering the different masks we put on to influence people in ways that are favorable to us. In this regard, this creature could be thought of as this powerful consciousness within us that wants to break out and evolve out of the suffering that has binded the world for so long, but instead we hold back in fear and quarantine ourselves from such madness.

I think it is more simple. He lived in a wood cabin in Wisconsin for three months. He got scared of the wild animals.

I'm not sure if these are right. Maybe they are and I'm hearing things but it sounds like:

I was full by your count I was lost but your fool Was a long visit wrong? Say you are the only

So many foreign worlds So ready to be full So ready for us So ready for us, A creature fear

I was teased by your blouse Spit out by your mouth I was lulled by your low Seminary song

Tear on tear on Take all on the wind on Soft bloody nose Send another form

So many territories Ready to reform Don't let it form us Don't let it form us A creature fear

So did he foil is 'own? Is he ready to reform? So many tourists So many forests A creature fear

eneyeseekaywhy: Interpreting a song is completely subjective. People will take whatever they want from it, regardless of the artists intention. There is no "wrong" interpretation and I fail to see how someone finding parallels between this song and current events is anymore juvenile than chastising someone in an internet forum for having an interpretation of completely subjective material contrary to yours. Furthermore, if any form of interpretation is over used on this website, it's interpreting the song in the context of a relationship. By your logic we should condemn your attempt to simplify these lyrics down into a love song.

Anywho...when SongMeanings sends out the memo informing the rest of us morons that we're no longer entitled to a free thought and the your almighty opinion is the only acceptable way to interpret completely subjective art, I'll be sure to forward it along to the rest of the morons. Until then, STFU.

I was full by your count

I was lost but your fool

Was a long visit wrong?

Say you are the only

You thought I was great or something I wasn't really feeling it but enjoyed playing the role I'm unsure if this is real reassure me

So many foreign worlds

(So relatively fucked)

So ready for us

So ready for us,

The creature fear

The possibilities of the future for us is endless, and many of them are pretty shitty, and they're coming fast, it seems inevitable

I call this concept creature fear

Teased by your blouse

Spit out by your mouth

I was loud by your lowered

Seminary sold

Seduced or something Ridicule of some kind I responded to something know as "lowered" (perhaps expectations or lowered standards of behaviour) Either I'm done preaching or done listening to your preaching

Tear on tail on

Take all on the wind on

The soft bloody nose

Sign another floor...

I love this verse

Basically, go ahead, dive into a new life, "new tail" or "tale"? either way, sounds great and all, until you autograph the fucking floor with your blood (fall on your face)

The so many territories

Ready to reform

Don't let it form us

Don't let it form us

The creature fear

Maybe don't let the fear of the future create the future? Or don't let your rules or per-conceveived notions define us

So did he foil is 'own?

Is he ready to reform?

So many torahs

So many for us

The creature fear

Did I fuck up my own plan? Am I ready to change to fit your previously mentioned vision of who I am? I see this as being restrictive rules for our relationship which is what bothered me in the first place

no marculatroen, i think that creature fear refers to the innate fear in animals that has evolved as a survival mechanism. in humans it can hold us back for fear of failure or embarrassment

it's torahs. it's in the lyrics in the liner notes on For Emma.

there are many meanings to us, because we are each individuals.that's the beauty of art.

(however i think that only4you is closest to bon justin's perspective)

this is what it sounds like hes sayin and what it sounds like it means TO ME. i started listening to this ablum from the beginning to end of a 2 1/2 year relationship (we were still so young.). mainly the breakup lol fuck you if you dont like it, i get emotional to his shit. this is what ive never questioned it meant, cuz it MEANT to me. enjoy

I was full by your count I was lost but your fool Was a long visit wrong? Say you are the only

(probably about love, being full by someones count, your completely satisfied with what they have to offer. but getting so lost in yourself and becoming somebodys fool. then-in my experience- was a long visit wrong? or should i have even visited then at all. please, say you are my only) very retrospective

So many foreign worlds (So relatively fucked) So ready for us So ready for us, The creature fear

(there were so many foriegn roads, distance places, the fucking future, so amazing (so relativley fucked) so ready for us. the creature fear is almost a tool to me, depending on whats goin on it can be and should be versitile)

I'sd Teased by your blouse Spit out by your mouth I was loud by your lowered Seminary sold

(I was brought in, decieved, even, by your beauty, then spit out by your mouth, you tell me to be quiet, i got loud, and now, {seminary has an origin which means "plot where plants are raised from seeds," so your birthing ground, your rock, or everything you have worked for is sold, or taken away from you)

Tear on tail on Take all on the wind on (if you really wanna go, then tear on, tail on, and take all on the wind on) The soft bloody nose seminary flow (seniary also means school, or a higher learning, so your scarred but you've learned from it)

The so many territories Ready to reform Don't let it form us Don't let it form us The creature fear (everyone and everything is always changing, and being scared of change)

So did he foil is 'own? Is he ready to reform? So many torahs So ready for us The creature fear

(did he block his own shot? now is he ready to change? torahs, books to live by, i guess so many lessons we have to learn, and soooo ready, its (the creature fear) Life

Goodness.

How do you guys even begin to fathom the meaning of the song when the lyrics are wrong in the first place?

lol.
