..And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Hulled far from the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles

from Bon Iver – Holocene Lyrics on Rap Genius

Meaning

Bon Iver suddenly realizing his insifnificance once again. Away from the hustle and bustle of urban life (as represented by the highway), he now only sees frozen isolation. He sees trees and nature that seems to only go on and on, and is in complete wonder of it.
