Why? – Light Leaves Lyrics 13 years ago
I accidentally posted the last one in a reply, so here it is again.
He's talking about the girl from Gemini, look at the comments there and you will understand this more.

"Each of these old light leaves is dirt,
barely held together by
tiny bone hands that used to be alive"

their relationship is at it's end, they both know it, and it's being barely held together by nothing more than physical pleasure.

"Holding hands
loose gripped
at the deja vu dream scene end
of a lifelong relationship"

Once again with the barely held together thing. And they are remembering their beloved memories together, this is one more thing holding them together.

"These light leaves
is my hair on the bathroom floor,
my smaller selves down the sewer somewhere,
under berkeley, cincinatti, or on tour
Airplane rear
and hotel lobby ladies rooms: beware,
as these light leaves bagged up in plastic,
never to decompose or fertilize"

He's talking about masturbation. or sex. look above to see others' interpretations.

"And when I finally do it
I wanna do the dirt
like the dead leaves do
and if you do leave the earth
when the earth leaves you"

He's not only talking about ending the relationship, he's also talking about ending his life.

"cold and hard as a marble table top
with nothing on top,
there's no hip-hip-hop-hooray
keeping Heaven's golden-barbed gateway,
no bright confetti, high-step march, ticker tape parade
There's no mound of clouds to lounge on,
no mound of clouds to lounge on"

The best part of the song. He's talking about if he does it, he fears he won't make it to heaven. He was raised Jewish and the ideals of Heaven and Hell almost scare him, so he can't leave, just yet.

I fucking love this song.

The fact that he is talking about the one in the old testament doesn't surprise me, he was raised Jewish.

Isaac Brock never changed the words he spoke, he just changed the style. And it just so happened to draw a bigger crowd. Like Mynameisyou said: Love it all.

I fucking love you.
The song is just a progression of how all of these things that he has feel worthless. All that he tried for is worthless. even his girlfriend.

He tries making everyone happy
He can't make everyone happy
He can't make himself happy
"I'm not sure who i am"
