Lyrics for "Rosyln" by Bon Iver & St. Vincent

Up with your turret
Aren't we just terrified?
Shale, screen your worry from what you won't ever find

Don't let it fool you
Don't let it fool you down
Dancing around, folds in her gown

Sea and the rock below
Cocked to the undertow

Bones blood and teeth erode
They will be crashing low

Wings wouldn't help you
Wings wouldn't help you down
Down towards the ground, gravity's proud.

You barely are blinking
Wagging your face around
When'd this just become a mortal home?

Won't, won't, won't, won't
Won't let you talk me
Won't let you talk me... down
We'll pull it taut, nothing let out

This song doesn’t make me sad, it makes me feel nostalgic. I get the urge to be outside, lay in the grass, or go for a walk when I hear it

[konoseki]

this song makes me miss my twilight phase. i don't care what anyone says about the twilight movies, they'll always be my comfort movies. i wish i was a twilight character living in forks :(

[kys.lujaina]

for me this song feels like remembering the past, not wanting to let go or let the memories fade, remembering times when you were happy before it all went away, holding on to those small glimpses of feeling truly loved, when you feel nothing but love unconditional love knowing it won't last forever but hoping it will, just holding on to those memories feeling them again like you're still at that moment.

This feels like homesickness for a place you can't go back too, a place that was filled with warm memories and family and you were safe for once.

[taylam]

I find it sad how most people have stopped waiting for their happy ending, they are just waiting for the end.

Winter of 2010. I was in a detox facility, staring out the window at the heavy snowfall. After 10 years of heroin addiction, in and out of jails, treatments centers, and institutions, I sat on my hospital bed and contemplated my life. With headphones on and this song playing, I experienced a single moment of clarity - that part of my life was over. My 10 year relationship had come to an end. The first thing that had ever made me feel comfortable in my skin had hollowed out my soul, and was stripping the life from my bones. It was time to fully surrender to the spirit of the universe and allow myself to accept help. As I sat there watching the snowflakes fall, listening to the incantation of the melody, I cried 10 years of pain and struggle out of my eyes - out of every strand of DNA in my body. That day, I turned my back on the love of my life and decided to learn how to love my life. As I write this, I've been sober now over 13 years, but when I play this song, I can still feel the mix of unmitigated pain and sanguine surrender from that day - that moment. I never want to forget that feeling.

I remember first time hearing this song. It’s when my son past away at birth.
I was just on pandora a week after he past. Sitting outside in a cold December night.
Smoking cigarette
And just hearing this song. Crying.
It made me feel at piece..
Will never forget that moment

who misses the time when you didn’t even know about depression. biggest regret is wanting to grow up.

[miitsuba]

damn. listening to this at 2 AM on the roof is a whole different feeling.

[understatements]

probably one of the best soundtrack from the late 2000s, twilight saga was such a good era so sad we never going to witness an experience like that ever again

[kurapikaswifeandchrollosmo]

"Why are you sad?" "Come on, you have to be sad for a reason!" That's just it, I have no idea why I'm sad, and I'm losing it.

[fayetjcen]

hits different when you don't live for yourself anymore

[Kianav]

this song gives me mixed emotion . It makes me feel like I just want to sit down and cry but then it makes me feel free and want to go outside and count the stars

[yamieden]

This song is heavy. Remembering Bella at 18 feeling deep depression and knowing that I at 18 knew what she felt, and over 10 years later still know.

[jamie]

This song makes me wanna travel the world alone

[juliennechiu]

I pray that everyone who reads this will become successful in their life

[nerimansoykunt]

It is a rainy day, i am watching the drops on the glass and this song is repeating and repeating.. That's what a peace sounds like...

My girlfriend had a miscarriage 4 months into the pregnancy. When we found out the baby was going to be a girl we decided on the name Roslyn. She was going to be born 2 weeks from now. I was so excited to finally become a father at 27, especially to a little baby girl. Unfortunately god had other plans. This song makes me cry almost every time I hear it. What could’ve been. At the same time I’ve made peace within myself that everything happens for a reason. One day we will finally meet my sweet girl

The twilight soundtrack SLAPS, nothing can change my mind.
