Holocene

Holocene
Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me
You're laying waste to Halloween
You fuc*** it friend, it's on its head, it struck the street
You're in Milwaukee, off your feet
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Strayed above the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
And I could see for miles, miles, miles

Third and Lake it burnt away, the hallway
Was where we learned to celebrate
Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
That night you played me 'Lip Parade'
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
Saying nothing, that's enough for me
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Huddled far from the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
And I could see for miles, miles, miles
Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
Above my brother, I and tangled spines
We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
Now to know it in my memory
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
High above the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
But I could see for miles, miles, miles
En 'Holocene' de Bon Iver, la letra nos sumerge en un paisaje emocionalmente profundo. La canción se desarrolla de manera introspectiva, con referencias sutiles a Halloween y a la ciudad de Milwaukee, creando imágenes vívidas en la mente del oyente....
