Still Lyrics
I'm up in the woods
I'm down on my mind
I'm building a still
To slow down the time
I'm down on my mind
I'm building a still
To slow down the time

Well, a still is used to make homemade alcohol, so it basically means:
I'm in the woods. I'm sad. I'm making booze. To get drunk.
But the way Justin writes it, it's a bit more elegant.
"Unfortunately, the lyrics probably don't mean anything. :P"
...how the hell would you know? I'm sure you're a nice person but you come off as a dick saying that.
this is a beautiful song....
This is Bon Iver's "Woods" with different music behind it. It's a cool new sound but I think I may like the original better.
its definitely got something to do with him moving into a lodge with his dad and how he was surrounded by woods?

I think the "building a still" is in reference to the still feeling of the woods, and the forest. He is creating a still moment, in nature, to slow down the fast pace world that exist outside of that still.
The lyrics to this song are the same as the beginning to Kanye West's "Lost in the World" from the CD that Justin Vernon worked on. Doesn't take away from the song, which is great, just thought it was interesting.
Agreed. Probably my favorite off of their album, at least for now. Unfortunately, the lyrics probably don't mean anything. :P
