I think that he's in love with his best friend, and even though it hurts he's trying to convince HER that he just feels about her in a friendly way, so that he can still have her in his life, and he's trying to convince HIMSELF that he doesn't love her. Oh, I don't know. This song is so hard to listen to. |

I think there's way more to this song than just a drive through the country. I think it sets up the concept for the whole album, this is where it allllll goes down. |

I'm not sure if anyone has heard "the Falling Snow" by Damien Jurado, but he has a line that says "come down from your mountain, you've been gone too long." and the line is so haunting and perfect- the same goes here, for the line that uses almost the exact same words.. |

I think it's about someone who's gotten hooked on drugs and is realizing what it's making him miss out on- he has to watch everything he should have had go one by |

i'm not sure it DID sound pretentious! very well put-- it's an amazing work of art, and they've clearly put a remarkable amount of effort into putting it all together so well.. i mean i can really feel it all, if that makes sense. |

i think these are the correct lyrics:
You told us that
we were too young
now the night's closing in
and in the half light,
we were one
luck us up safe
and hide the key
but the night tears us loose
and in the half light
we're free
strange how the half light
can make a place new
you can't recognize me
and I can't recognize you
we run through the streets
that we know so well
all the houses hide so much
but in the half light
none of us can tell
they hide the ocean in a shell
the ocean in a shell
our heads are just houses
without enough windows
you say you hear human voices
but they're only echoes
they're only echoes
they're only echoes
only echoes
we are not insane, we are on the streets
we are not insane, we are on the streets
not 100% positive, since i was playing it by ear, but it's still better than copying incorrect lyrics off of wikilyrics *cough* i can't decided if it's "hide the ocean in a shell" or "had" because i can hear both, and make sense of both.
anyhow, the end of this song REALLY reminds me of something very sufjan stevens.
this whole album is a large movement, it's incredible- definitely about growing up and finding yourself, i think, and then finding yourself again (and again) |

I think that this song is about a guy who loves a girl, and the girl is abusing this fact. I think that she's always making promises to keep him there for her, so that she doesn't have to be alone, but she always bails on said promises in the last minute... a giant tease. He does everything she wants, and doesn't come through with it... just keeps him waiting. |

I'm going to say that I think there COULD be a bit of global warming talk going on here, POSSIBLY. I definitely see it as a sad shake of the head in regards to what's going on in our world today. For any of you assholes saying that "Isaac doesn't care about blah blah blah", who are you to say what he does and doesn't care about? You're all what I am, a FAN, and just because you like something that he makes, doesn't make you an aficionado of all things Isaac Brock. Get a fucking grip.
ANYHOW! I think this is a statement on what's happening on our planet, with ALL things- the wars, useless energy waste, etc. etc. Stubborn beauty, indeed. |

what do you mean is she kidding? this is obviously a seriously political album, and she could be pretty spot-on. i'm not saying that i agree, necessarily, with her interpretation of these lyrics but i'm sure there's something in there. |

this song is absolutely haunting. i think it's about a girl who seduces a boy, by getting him to love her as he's never loved before, and when he finally gives into her, it's too much and she has what she wants and she takes off with his child, and he wants something different- he wants it all and she won't let that happen, she just keeps going and he knows nothing else- i think they're both afraid. but hey, what do i know? |

I think this song is about a guy who hates everyone and everything in the world except for this one girl, and he's willing for the first time in his life to go through this 'horrible' life with her by his side, if he can figure out how. "I will walk down to the end with you if you will come all the way down with me" is just so cute.
