This song always plays a huge part in stopping me from gambling, or ensure I don't chase losses. It makes me so emotional and Intentional about quitting for good. My interpretation of the song is totally on demons of gambling and how after chasing all the high we always go back to "whatever could it be, that has brought me to this loss?".

I find the part where Bon Iver said "everything that happens is from now on" so powerful. I have to let go of the past, I have to let go of the losses and decide a better life for myself and loved ones starting now while getting every help I can. 

Here is the full lyrics. You should definitely give it a listen

 

"This my excavation and today is kumranEverything that happens is from now onThis is pouring rainThis is paralyzed
 
I keep throwing it down two-hundred at a timeIt's hard to find it when you knew itWhen your money's goneAnd you're drunk as hell
 
On your back with your racks as the stacks are your loadIn the back and the racks and the stacks of your loadIn the back with your racks and you're un-stacking your load
 
Well I've been twisting to the sun and the moonI needed to replaceThe fountain in the front yard is rusted outAll my love was downIn a frozen ground
 
There's a black crow sitting across from meHis wiry legs are crossedHe is dangling my keys, he even fakes a tossWhatever could it beThat has brought me to this loss?
 
On your back with your racks as the stacks are your loadIn the back and the racks and the stacks of your loadIn the back with your racks and you're un-stacking your load
 
This is not the sound of a new man or crispy realizationIt's the sound of the unlocking and the lift awayYour love will beSafe with me"
