Bon Iver: Perth Meaning

Perth Lyrics

I'm tearing up, across your face
Move dust through the light
To find your name
It's only faint
This is not a place
Not yet awake, I'm raised to make

Still alive for you, love

   I think it's about confusion in the face of death. Although Justin wasn't good friends with Heath, he was curious about what his death meant. It's such an obscure subject which makes us feel a lonely hollowness inside due to our intolerance of ignorance.

   This song was actually written because of Heath Ledger's death. Justin Vernon's manager was very close friends with Heath, and took his death extremely hard. Justin wrote this song in memory of Heath.

   It does not matter what he wants to tell us with the song. I think it is only important to feel it, everyone will create his own story to the song which depends on his present situation or maybe special happenings in the past.

   This is how I feel about this song!
