Outside I look lived in.

Yes, extremely introspective and curious.

 

And it's piss and blood

 

(not pretty, but the staccato stab of someone's reality)

Yes! I loooooved this line ever since listening to I Might... so gritty and perfectly placed.

 

"My eyes have seen the fury so flattered by fate"

I love how his vocal goes low on faaaate.

Really love this one, too. I think the lyric is "Mine eyes have seen the fury...", likewise with the repeat in the third bridge: "Mine eyes deceiving glory..."

That's what I heard when I listened to it, and it was confirmed-ish when that article was posted about the lyrics to this song: http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2011/09/watch-wilcos-new-born-alone-video-and-read-the-story-behind-its-lyrics/244656/ (for those who missed it)

 

The top right of the page: "Mine eyes have seen the menace flare of glory"

 

Really cool! Don't know why the choice of "mine" over "my".

"I know I won't be the last cold captain tied to the mast"

 

that's probably two lines so I guess I broke the rules. So ban me if you must.

 

That's it, yer outta here. :realmad

 

:lol

 

Actually I wasn't sure how to word the "rules" of this thread...that to me is one line. All one "sentence", one thought. You can stay for now.
