flume bon iver lyrics

I believe the picture he paints of the sky and the moon symbolizes how he felt about this girl who hurt him so, and he cannot quite get over her. The maroon being the blood, and gluey feathers adding to the image of a hurt loon. When he says "Only love is all maroon", I believe he is trying to convey the message that love scarred him, and he is creating a powerful image of the pain that has come with heartbreak.

I believe he had a hard time facing the "adult world", and feels alone as he travels into maturity, down the flume. I believe this song is about losing his innocence, and the pain and confusion that come with maturity and first love. I do not think it's about a literal pregnancy of any sort though. I'm trying to see how the womb and the mother reference could tie into all of this but I just can't seem to put it together. Maroon could represent the color of the blood, and the consequent pain brought on. It's not a literal bird he's singing about, of course, I think he's just meaning that there's an intense pain or suffering of some sort going on here. The bird has been shot or hurt in some way. The bird explanation makes more sense to me, especially when you refer to the part that says "only love is all maroon, gluey feathers on the flume." What would make the feathers "gluey"? Blood. This wary bird must be symbolic of something. I think it's supposed to say "lapping lakes like LEERY loons." Leery (not Leary) means cautious or distrustful. Also, I don't believe that the line "Leary loons" has any connection to Timothy Leary, as someone else stated. The loon is an aquatic bird, that often dives underwater. I did more research on "loons", which some people think is a reference to some kind of crazy, as in looney but I disagree. Don't hate, it's probably nonsense but I'm trying here. I've skimmed some of the comments and here's my two cents. This song is gorgeous but I'd much rather it be a profoundly beautiful song, as opposed to just a shallow, meaningless one. I'm really hoping that this song means something, and that the lyrics aren't a bunch of nonsense that just sound good.
