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.
Here is the house where it all happens
Those tender moments, under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
And is it happens, it happens here in this house
And I feel your warmth and it feels like home
And there's someone calling on the telephone
Let's stay home, it's cold outside
And I have so much to confide to you
With or without words I'll confide everything
Here is the house where it all happens
Those tender moments, under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
As it happens, it happens here in this house
So we stay at home and I'm by your side
And you know what's going on inside
Inside my heart, inside this house
And I just want to let it out for you
And I feel your warmth and it feels like home
And I feel your warmth and it feels like home
Home
Home
Here is the house where it all happens (here is the house)
Those tender moments, under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
Here is the house where it all happens (here is the house)
Those tender moments, under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
Here is the house where it all happens (here is the house)
Those tender moments, under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
Home
Home
Home
Those tender moments, under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
And is it happens, it happens here in this house
And I feel your warmth and it feels like home
And there's someone calling on the telephone
Let's stay home, it's cold outside
And I have so much to confide to you
With or without words I'll confide everything
Here is the house where it all happens
Those tender moments, under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
As it happens, it happens here in this house
So we stay at home and I'm by your side
And you know what's going on inside
Inside my heart, inside this house
And I just want to let it out for you
And I feel your warmth and it feels like home
And I feel your warmth and it feels like home
Home
Home
Here is the house where it all happens (here is the house)
Those tender moments, under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
Here is the house where it all happens (here is the house)
Those tender moments, under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
Here is the house where it all happens (here is the house)
Those tender moments, under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together

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"

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Straightforward song.
What I see underscoring the narration is the sense of loss. This is illustrated more in the cadence of language and melody than the lyrics. Ostensibly this is truly some form of ballad - ode to love - but underneath there seems a tinge of regret/nostolgia that elicits sadness.
It is this physical union the narrator longs for - "feels like home" - and this intimacy occurs "with or without words". In this sense it is special. The other person "feels like home". If one simply reads the lyrics they might misunderstand the song. Not to read too much into DM (I love them but they are relatively easy to comprehend).
