No Bones

Dinosaur Jr.

Hey babe, thought maybe
Can't feel, not today
Wish it didn't faze me
Can't handle either way

With life surrounded
Entombed in war
Don't lie to her
No bones, no bones

The vast expanses
It can't be too grand
To go together outside
Hey babe, can't do it

Can't put you there again
Can't feel, can't go through it
If there only was a way
If there only was a way

With life surrounded
Entombed in war
Don't lie to her
No bones, no bones

The vast expanses
It can't be too grand
Or I'll send them back

    General CommentI can't see any way to edit this so I'll just post correct lyrics here

    Hey babe, thought maybe
    Can't deal, not today.
    Wish it didn't faze me
    Can't handle either way.

    With light surrounded, Entombed and warm
    Don't lie to her, no bones, no form.
    The vast expanses, they need to grind
    to glow together, melt our minds

    Hey babe, can't do it.
    Cant put you there again.
    Can't deal, can't go through it
    If there only was a when.

    With light surrounded, entombed and warm.
    Don't lie to her, no bones, no form.
    The vast expanses, the need to grind
    They're inside our minds.

    General CommentI believe this song is about war and how the man wants to protect his lover from the horror and death that results from war. Though I may be wrong.

    General CommentI think this song is about a man who has to inform a woman that her husband was killed in a war. I think the "no bones" part refers to the fact that the husband's remains were never found.

    General CommentI thinks he means "no bones" as in "we make no bones about it".

    My Interpretationi think it has a lot of similarities to Thumb from Green Mind. it's self-deprecating. he knows he's in love with this chick, but he also knows that he's no good for her. he's too much of a loser. too unambitious. too spineless. he's not worth it
