anyway, good song - don't know if i'd say great, although my opinion could easily change upon a few more listens. I wish the song as a whole just had more of a crescendo effect.

I feel like the song has an emphasis on nature again, like a lot of their other songs and a futility of modernity. The whole swinging of swords for show is only literally taking place in contests of fencing and i dont really thing thats where the song is going. I feel like once again they're just stressing the importance of simplicity.

The song also seems to referrence some frustration with another person. "you will grow mad at me..." and "you just drive." I feel like the second line places emphasis on just which to me sounds like theirs a sort of impatience involved, but this is far too long for an initial analysis of the song so i'll leave it for now.
