a beautiful song!
the first time I heard it, a friend's mother died..for me personally there's a wire between life and death.
the sing is so mystic.
first someone should complete the lyrics.
"It's cool (STATIC), and, um, it should be really good to see you, man.
Uh, I don't know if I've been away. (STATIC)
But uh, I didn't stay long since I just wanted to tell you that it was good to see you, you know? [Good to see you]
And uh, it's a shame it didn't work out.
But uh, we get together for that little recording, it might've been a good experience.
But eh, maybe after the holidays, um.
Listen, call me anytime, please.
If you're sure you got a really big issue.
If you ever need to, just call me, right?
Bye. Happy holidays, good luck."
I'm german so my english is not that good, but I'll try my best to specify my thoughts.
In my interpretation the song is about death.
maybe "life" after death, after the funeral.
I will still be up by fall
I'll still be up by fall either way
Still be up by fall
I'll be still to hear the call either way
the first par confuses me a lot. maybe the dead person "says" that.perhaps the person died in this season.
centenary of his date of death? so he'll be up,everyone will remind him, cause it's his date.
the season fall is a sad season. simple: the trees are LOSING there sheets.the sheets are a part of them.not sure about this part.
Street of thought
In all your bones
-point:life after death
If you're dead,so you have eternal time to think(streets of thougt) about your past life.
bones/mortal remains ...when you are dead your body will rotten and then there'll be only bones left.
Hold your place and
Save your throne
when you're dead and you're in your grave you can't move.thus you hold your place. you save your last resting-place/ or better permanent site. it's for the eternity it's kinda your personally place, you're the "king" of that resting-place. king/ throne.
with the action of lying there you're saving that from another "enemies" like the kings were saving there kingdom/throne from enemies.
Lie awake supine and golden
Wait for grace
it's describes the situation in the coffin.
you're awake because you're waiting for grace.
as i before said...it's a thougt about life after death.
Sleight of fate
And borrowed clothes
i think sleight of fate is clear.
borrowed clothes...that confuses me a little,
Songs of places
No one knows
symbolic meaning for nescience. no one knows what after death will be.maybe "songs of places" is about the paradise after death like in the bible.songs=music it's a kind of art/creativity--fantasy?"no one knows" there aren't any proofs/the lively people are hoping that they will join pradise after death.the narrrator has not the chance to tell them the truth...the narrator is disapointed about his situation at the moment.
Draped in lace we all lean over
To greet the great
lace is an expensive material.you were poor in your life, it's borrowed from someone. the great are the rich people/people who equaled some status in there life time. you're good dressed to greet them.after death you have no money but you have your clothing.
I know my thoughts are really insane.
Would be good to read some others interpretations.
sorry that my interpretation is mixed up.i'm not content with my writing...I need more synoms and words to describe that, thats really poor..
