Once upon a time I was with you
In a castle built with dreams we had each night
All the walls were water where the moon would dance
And the floor moved every time we touched

There's no sun now
Stars don't come out
I can't hear anyone near

There's no sun now
Stars don't come out
I can't hear anyone near, anyone's near

When you left I tried
To drown that moon each night
And the water turned to ice
That locked me up inside

But there's no sun now
Stars don't come out
I can't hear anyone near

There's no sun now
Stars don't come out
I can't hear anyone near, anyone's near

Now, I found a planet for myself
Where an ocean cares for me
We beat like wounds

And there is sun now
Stars do come out
I can hear everyone near

There is sun now
Stars do come out
I can hear everyone near, everyone near

And there is sun now
Stars do come out
I can hear everyone near

There is sun now
Stars do come out
I can hear everyone near, everyone's near

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
