In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
What up?
How's everyone doing?
You are now in the world I'm ruining
Take a minute to adjust for the wondrous
Cluster fuck of fun and enchantment
I promise this some generation X shit
Speak for the seller who I left with
Parallel levels in a dark dark place
Tripped all you niggas to a dark dark fate
And guided you all with a smile upon my face
As the sun kisses us on the foreheads gently
Gentle with the drugs, heavy with the love
And my speeches on stage, rock mountains from a club
Money doesn't move me except on the literal
G4 flights, now we're off to Australia
I wanna see more of the world
These are more than just words
These are facts from a winner
This is our journey into the horizon
Hope you can see past if it's real to you
We can meet on the other side
On the other side, ayy
This is our journey into the horizon
Hope you can see past if it's real to you
Then we can meet on the other side
On the other side
What up? How is everyone feeling?
I hope you understand what you're hearing
Take a minute to roll up for the wondrous
Clusterfuck of darkness and evil
I will play the Yin and the Yang for ya
And my jeans will be off with the little skinnies
Upgraded, fitted into the T
Work hard, making sure I don't become a memory
Hard to press on when the memories remember me
And they always find the perfect moment
High speed I'm a minimal slum
Lost in the wind, I've lost all my friends
Maybe they were never meant to be acquainted
Money seems to make everything tainted
Everybody mad 'cause they stuck where I knew 'em last
Took what I wanted and I did it all blunted, oh oh
This is our journey into the horizon
Hope you can see past if it's real to you
We can meet on the other side
On the other side, ayy
This is our journey into the horizon
Hope you can see past if it's real to you
Then we can meet on the other side
On the other side
This is our journey into the horizon
Hope you can see past if it's real to you
We can meet on the other side
On the other side, ayy
This is our journey into the horizon
Hope you can see past if it's real to you
Then we can meet on the other side
On the other side
How's everyone doing?
You are now in the world I'm ruining
Take a minute to adjust for the wondrous
Cluster fuck of fun and enchantment
I promise this some generation X shit
Speak for the seller who I left with
Parallel levels in a dark dark place
Tripped all you niggas to a dark dark fate
And guided you all with a smile upon my face
As the sun kisses us on the foreheads gently
Gentle with the drugs, heavy with the love
And my speeches on stage, rock mountains from a club
Money doesn't move me except on the literal
G4 flights, now we're off to Australia
I wanna see more of the world
These are more than just words
These are facts from a winner
This is our journey into the horizon
Hope you can see past if it's real to you
We can meet on the other side
On the other side, ayy
This is our journey into the horizon
Hope you can see past if it's real to you
Then we can meet on the other side
On the other side
What up? How is everyone feeling?
I hope you understand what you're hearing

On the other side, ayy
This is our journey into the horizon
Hope you can see past if it's real to you
Then we can meet on the other side
On the other side

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
"This is our journey into the horizon, hope you can see that."
is supposed to be, "you can see past."
thanks.
