Flume Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Steve0h 

Cover art for Flume lyrics by Bon Iver

I agree with dragonfly on the pregnancy interpretation,

"I am my mother's only one", rarely twins.

His "Sky is womb, and she is the moon".

Redness abounds, "Only love is all maroon", "Reddish ruse".

Amniotic fluid, "I move in water, shore to shore", "Lapping lakes like leary loons".

That umbilical cord, "Leaving rope burns".

All I will say is that a Flume is a narrow water channel.
