Little Lion Man Lyrics
weep for yourself, my man,
you'll never be what is in your heart weep little lion man, you're not as brave as you were at the start rate yourself and rape yourself, take all the courage you have left wasted on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head but it was not your fault but mine and it was your heart on the line i really fucked it up this time didn't I, my dear? tremble for yourself, my man, you know that you have seen this all before tremble little lion man, you'll never settle any of your score your grace is wasted in your face, your boldness stands alone among the wreck learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck but it was not your fault but mine and it was your heart on the line i really fucked it up this time didn't I, my dear? |

I think this song is about that one person you've let slip away, even after they've hung around you for ages, giving you so many chances but you've been too foolish to see it then. Ain't Hindsight a wonderful thing?

rate yourself and rape yourself is like saying that he should see himself for what he is, and suffer because of it, because of how he treated her.
your grace is wasted in your face, he's beautiful, but its wasted, because the inside is ugly.
biting your own neck, pure vampire, draining the life, he used to do it to others, but now he needs to see the error of his ways or he'll only have himslef to feed on/depend on. he'll be alone
that was my train of thought, but i dnt know if its one guy advising another, one man speaking to all men, or a guy talking to himself
either way, this is beauty

I find the clip really captivating too even though it's such a simple set. Long live the banjo!

I base this in large part off the first verse when he says "take all the courage you have left/ wasted on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head". Also, the prelude to that, about "rate yourself and rape yourself" is almost like saying she had no self esteem, or was bi-polar or something similar (well, at least a bit unbalanced). She builds herself up, revels in the praise of it all, then goes completely the other way.
From that I gleam that he was in a relationship that has broken down and in the fallout, the aftermath of it all and the blame game he's sarcastically saying "yeah, it was all my fault, you were the only one with anything to lose in all this, isn't that right?"
It's like she's manufactured reasons to end their relationship and is running away from the consequences of it.

Anyway, very good song. My friend and I were discussing how there seems to be a lot of what he calls 'twee folk' around (Noah and the Whale) while this is the kind of folk music we actually find interesting and want to hear.

just to clarify some lyrics
It is 'rate yourself and rake yourself' although it is true that it really does sound like 'rape yourself'.
'waste it' not 'wasted'
I absolutely love this song :-)
