    Lyrics:
    The phone slips from a loose grip.
    Words were missed then...some apology “I didn’t want to tell you this no it’s just some guy she has been hanging out with...I don’t know...the past couple of weeks I guess.”
    Well thank you and hang up the phone. Let the funeral start. Hear the casket close. Let’s pin split-black ribbons to our overcoats.
    Well laughter pours from under doors in this house. I don’t understand that sound no more. It seems artificial like a T.V. set.
    Well Haligh, Haligh, Haligh, Haligh
    This weight it must be satisfied. You offer only one reply. You know not what you do. But you tear and tear your hair from roots. From that same head you twice removed a lock of hair you said would prove our love would never die. Well Ha Ha Ha.
    And I remember everything...the words we spoke on freezing South street. All those mornings watching you get ready for school.
    You combed your hair inside the mirror, the one you painted blue and glued with jewelry tears. Something about those bright colors would always make you feel better. But now we speak with ruined tongues the words we say aren’t meant for anyone. Just a mumbled sentence to a passing acquaintance, but there was once you. You said you hate my suffering you understood you’d take care of me. You would always be there, well where are you now?
    Haligh, Haligh, Haligh, Haligh. The plans were never finalized but left to hang like yarn and twine dangling before my eyes. As you tear and tear your hair from roots, from that same head you twice removed a lock of hair you said would prove our love would never die. And I sing and sing of awful things, the pleasure that my sadness brings as my fingers press against the strings another clumsy chord.
    Haligh, Haligh, an awful lie. This weight will now be satisfied. I'm gonna give you only one reply, I know not who I am but I talk in the mirror to the stranger that appears. Our conversations are circles and always one sided, nothing is clear. Except we keep coming back to this meaning that I lack. He says the choices were given and now you must live them or just not live. But do you want that?

    I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up listening to Bright Eyes. I remember the original felt like it voiced my pain at the time. This is a wonderful, well rounded new version of this song. Still painful and emotionally but more mature as well. Bright Eyes constantly makes me fall in love with their music with each new release.

    Fevers and Mirrors is still my favorite Bright Eyes album. It's a rare kind of album that is perfect all the way through, not one weak song. It's also their most raw and emotional album and despite being depressing it is so cathartic to listen to.

      interesting take - and i envy your perspective, as mine was a big cringe at this release. Felt like a perversion of a classic quintessential bright eyes track, and raw emotional folk song of my childhood.
      I'm not a purist, I was excited to hear a re-imagining of a classic but boy did this miss the mark for me. Felt super lackluster, but i suppose Ive just grown in a different direction than conor and most current fans.

    God.... When I first heard this back in 2000 at 19 years old that final line sounded so dark and full of pain and suffering and I pondered it myself many times. And now it's completely transformed and instead of the ponderous and brooding dark question which might even be dangerous to answer, it instead is no longer even really a question but instead an encouragement to hope and live

It's like he took all the angst out of the song and this song is one of the most angsty! It encompasses The angst that is Bright eyes! Without angst there is no Bright eyes. Sorry, Phoebe I love you you sounded great on the hook. But if it's not broken don't fix it. I love you bright eyes so much you've got me through life and I will always love you guys but this, idk.
