In this evocative narrative, Bon Iver explores themes of intimacy and shared experiences that deepen human connections. The setting at a blood bank, where life-sustaining elements are stored, metaphorically underscores the emotional sustenance derived from relationships. The vivid imagery of matching blood bags symbolizes commonalities and familial bonds that tie individuals together. As the scene shifts to a snowbound car, the focus moves to a moment of personal closeness between two people, heightened by the isolation and the serene backdrop. The repeated questioning about a noise upstairs introduces an element of reality intruding on a private moment, suggesting life's continual ebb and flow between personal intimacy and external obligations. Overall, "Blood Bank" beautifully captures the complexity of human connections through simple yet profound moments.
Blood Bank
Lyrics
Well, I met you at the blood bank
We were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags
You said "see lookit, that's yours
Stacked on top with your brother's
See how they resemble one another
Even in their plastic little covers"
And I said I know it well
That secret that you knew
But don't know how to tell
It fucks with your honor
And it teases your head
But you know that it's good, girl
'Cause its running you with red
Then the snow started falling
We were stuck out in your car
You were rubbing both of my hands
Chewing on a candy bar
You said "ain't this just like the present
To be showing up like this"
As a moon waned to crescent
We started to kiss
And I said I know it well
That secret that we know
That we don't know how to tell
I'm in love with your honor
I'm in love with your cheeks
What's that noise up the stairs babe?
Is that Christmas morning creaks?
And I said I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
