Loose Leaves Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Rob_C_Kelly 

Cover art for Loose Leaves lyrics by Bright Eyes

i got the no beginning... ep before the album, but knew what the album was going to be called, and assumed that the title (lifted or the storys in the soil, keep your ear to the ground) came form the first line of this song and the ending of We Are Free Men, but then when i got the album, about half of the songs mentioned lifted - i think thats his theme of the new album, (just like the theme of the last one was reflection) - things are bad but could get better.

i also haven't seen a mention of keep your ear to the ground in lyrics - although it is close to the line after the story is in the soil, loose leaves cover the ground.

am i just trying to read to much into this now?

(also the ep title can be found in track two of the new album, method acting... im definetely overdoing this now...)
