Weather of a Killing Kind Lyrics
Well I see the clouds, I see the shadow
It's rainin' wolves outside our door
We stand and watch through hesitation
'Cause they'll be spread out there forevermore
You said the sun's behind the fallin'
It's how the creature's heat their paws
And lay their hands on my decisions
And burn right through the books of sober loss
Now there is somethin' in the wild
Here is a weather of a killin' kind
Silently pass their sleeping jaws now
But I hold cymbals in my hands
Don't need no score to play this piece, no
Don't need no violins to lose a man
Now there is somethin' in the wild
Here is a weather of a killin' kind
I drink for something when I'm nothing
I drink for nothing when it's gone
And I feed the clouds, they are my shadow
'Cause I have raised the cubs my self alone
Now there is somethin' in the wild
Here is my weather of a killing kind
It's rainin' wolves outside our door
We stand and watch through hesitation
'Cause they'll be spread out there forevermore
It's how the creature's heat their paws
And lay their hands on my decisions
And burn right through the books of sober loss
Here is a weather of a killin' kind
But I hold cymbals in my hands
Don't need no score to play this piece, no
Don't need no violins to lose a man
Here is a weather of a killin' kind
I drink for nothing when it's gone
And I feed the clouds, they are my shadow
'Cause I have raised the cubs my self alone
Here is my weather of a killing kind

Good song. I submitted these, unsure about a few lines. Specifically the last lines of the second and third verses.
There's some serious word play going on in the third verse.
You said the sun's behind the fallen It's how the creatures heat their paws And lay their hands on my decisions And burn right through the books of sober loss
I think this has the same meaning as "Love Is All". The two songs are strictly connected, I think, like two parallel songs that explain the same situation from two different angles... I think here he's feeling something is wrong with how he feels, he feels there's a "weather of a killing kind" coming, that there are wolves and shadows and creatures "outside their door" (= the "evil" in "Love Is All"), and that he's about to kill (not that I really think he's killing anyone, it's all just a big metaphor of course)... he tries to ignore those signs, but he knows they "will be spread out there forevermore" so at one point he won't be able to ignore them anymore, and that point is described in "Love is all", which is where he's actually killing the relationship...
