Bon Iver – Holocene Lyrics 9 years ago
wow... halfway through reading this, I wanted to comment on it, thinking it would mean something. I thought I would be the only one, but thats because of how rare it is for anyone on the internet to be anything but cruel. I see that its far from the case, people can treat each other with respect and appreciate what they say. I think you nailed it... the best and worst moments. we all have a story to tell. me, 4 months ago I discovered a brain tumor. I was in a relationship with this girl for six years. I knew from the start she simply didn't want to deal with it. it was an obligation to her. I let her go, which was one of the hardest choices I have had to make. but all I am trying to say is... it doesnt matter. at some point we will be able to look at all of our shit with clarity we never imagined. thats what I think it is about. we cant prevent anything, but nor should we want to.

Mumford & Sons – Lovers' Eyes Lyrics 10 years ago
there are many good insights here. I agree, it can't simply be about a relationship. the price to be paid for a relationship when we are young, I don't believe can have the sort of outcome described in the song. unless eithers lives were drastically changed for the worst, but then the song could be taken literally. but its a great way for him to express what he wants--a relationship is somewhere we have all made mistakes. when we are young, we think we know better, but we never actually do.
