I think there's a play on words in the first line:
"The story is in the soil
Loose leaves cover the ground"
I know the song title is loose leaves, but I think it can be interpreted as "loose leafs," meaning notebook paper. Especially since he talks
about a "story" that "No one reads." Maybe I'm just reading into it too much. The next verse blows me away when he says:
"So I could scatter all my notebooks On the prep school lawn"
I don't even wanna try to interpret it, but I just think it's really profound how many patterns and ideas pop out of Conor's lyrics. If your comparing movie's to music, I think it's fair to say that listening to his lyrics is like watching one of those discovery channel documentaries about space except this time you're watching it at a huge 3D IMAX type of movie theater. When he gets going it's like watching shooting stars leap from the screen and dissolve into my mind. The lyrics have a lot of symmetry in them, kinda like the weird symmetry that's present in life. You know, the type of stuff you see out of the corner of your eye but can't quite put your finger on.
He should be nominated to be a poet laureate or something. I'll be damned if any poem ever hit me right square in the head like Conor's lyrics do. This lyrics aren't catchy and saturated like the musical equivalent of fast-food. They are really wholesome and nutritious. Sweet as honey in their honesty too. I swear, if Buddhist's studied his albums, they would all agree that he is a Bodhisattva.
