Shall we beat this or celebrate it?
You're not the one to talk things through
You checked your texts while I masturbated
Manelich, I feel so used
Found myself on spencer's butte
Traced your shadow with my shoe
Empty outline changed my view
Now all of me thinks less of you
On the sheet I see your horizon
All of me pressed onto you
But in this light you look like poseidon
I'm just a ghost you walk right through
Saw myself on spencer's butte (all of me wants all of you)
The landscape changed my point of view (all of me wants all of you)
Revelation may come true (all of me wants all of you)
Now all of me thinks less of you (all of me wants all of you)
(All of me wants all of you)
(All of me wants all of you)
(All of me wants all of you)
(All of me wants all of you)
You're not the one to talk things through
You checked your texts while I masturbated
Manelich, I feel so used
Found myself on spencer's butte
Traced your shadow with my shoe
Empty outline changed my view
Now all of me thinks less of you
On the sheet I see your horizon
All of me pressed onto you
But in this light you look like poseidon
I'm just a ghost you walk right through
Saw myself on spencer's butte (all of me wants all of you)
The landscape changed my point of view (all of me wants all of you)
Revelation may come true (all of me wants all of you)
Now all of me thinks less of you (all of me wants all of you)
(All of me wants all of you)
(All of me wants all of you)
(All of me wants all of you)
(All of me wants all of you)

Such a beautiful song! Lyrics are kind of sad though. Sounds like it's about his relationship with a man (a certain Manelich?), someone with whom he has a strong physical connection: All of me pressed on to you, But in this light you looked like Poseidon... pretty straightforward in its homoeroticism. But there's a disconnect. Manelich isn't a good communicator and Sufjan is having doubts - Now all of me thinks less of you - despite the good sex. I think that ultimately the song is about empty, lonely sex. Also, something is linked to his childhood summers with his mom in Oregon at Spencer's Butte, maybe through an old photo he saw, but I think only Sufjan understands how exactly the landscape changed his point of view. This, paired with All For Myself, make a pretty strong case for Sufjan's sexual fluidity, imho.
