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.
Dime ¿porque lloras?
De felicidad
¿Y porque te ahogas?
Por la soledad
¿Y porque me tomas
Fuerte así, mis manos?
Y tus pensamientos
Te van llevando
Yo te quiero tanto
¿Y porque será?
Loco testarudo
No lo dudes más
Aunque en el futuro
Haya un muro enorme
Yo no tengo miedo
Quiero enamorarme
No me ames, porque pienses
Que parezco diferente
Tú no piensas que es lo justo
Ver pasar el tiempo juntos
No me ames, que comprendo
La mentira que sería
Si tu amor no merezco
No me ames, mas quédate otro día
No me ames, porque estoy perdido
Porque cambie el mundo, porque es el destino
Porque no se puede, somos un espejo
Y tú así serías lo que yo de mí reflejo
No me ames, para estar muriendo
Dentro de una guerra llena de arrepentimientos
No me ames, para estar en tierra, quiero alzar el vuelo
Con tu gran amor por el azul del cielo
No sé que decirte
Esa es la verdad
Si la gente quiere
Sabe lastimar
Tú y yo partiremos, ellos no se mueven
Pero en este cielo sola no me dejes
No me dejes, no me dejes
No me escuches, si te digo "no me ames"
No me dejes, no desarmes
Mi corazón con ese "no me ames"
No me ames, te lo ruego
Mi amargura déjame
Sabes bien, que no puedo
Que es inútil, que siempre te amare
No me ames, pues te hare sufrir
Con este corazón que se lleno de mil inviernos
No me ames, para así olvidarte de tus días grises
Quiero que me ames solo por amarme
No me ames, tú y yo volaremos
Uno con el otro y seguiremos siempre juntos
Este amor es como el sol que sale tras de la tormenta
Como dos cometas en la misma estela
(No me ames, no me ames, no me ames)
No me ames (no me ames, no me ames, no me ames)
No, no me ames (no me ames, no me ames, no me ames)
No me ames (no me ames, no me ames, no me ames)
No me ames (no me ames, no me ames, no me ames)
De felicidad
¿Y porque te ahogas?
Por la soledad
¿Y porque me tomas
Fuerte así, mis manos?
Y tus pensamientos
Te van llevando
Yo te quiero tanto
¿Y porque será?
Loco testarudo
No lo dudes más
Aunque en el futuro
Haya un muro enorme
Yo no tengo miedo
Quiero enamorarme
No me ames, porque pienses
Que parezco diferente
Tú no piensas que es lo justo
Ver pasar el tiempo juntos
No me ames, que comprendo
La mentira que sería
Si tu amor no merezco
No me ames, mas quédate otro día
No me ames, porque estoy perdido
Porque cambie el mundo, porque es el destino
Porque no se puede, somos un espejo
Y tú así serías lo que yo de mí reflejo
No me ames, para estar muriendo
Dentro de una guerra llena de arrepentimientos
No me ames, para estar en tierra, quiero alzar el vuelo

No me ames (no me ames, no me ames, no me ames)
No me ames (no me ames, no me ames, no me ames)

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.

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.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
so emotional... so sad... but it reminds of of my wacky high school days because this is what my group used to sing out loud in class.
