I think this song is about someone in pain wanting to get over an addiction or evil habit so badly. They know that they need to stop but they can't seem to do it alone, and they know that only with God they can get better. They are so ashamed at their past that they feel terrible begging for God's mercy but still they know it is the only way. They want to feel what they have not felt in a long time or ever: to be free from addiction. "Pull me close and let me hold you in" -- singer wanting to be close to God/Jesus and wants to keep God/Jesus in "Give me the deeper understanding of who I am" -- only God can do this "Yeah, I'm moving back again, I'm waiting, yeah" -- Struggle of recovery is real and they may mess up and fall but they keep waiting and keep getting back up to try |

The song is the epitome of nostalgia. Nostalgia of friends, family, loved ones who may have passed into the next life, the place you grew up, etc. "Rivers and roads" are just metaphors for the different ways in which we cope with the overwhelming feeling of nostalgia (listening to music, doing something that you used to do, trying to remember what those times used to be like) until we find peace. But will we ever find that peace?? |

| Lord Huron – Meet Me in the Woods Lyrics | 10 years ago |

This song is what I think the song is about "I took a little journey to the unknown And I come back changed, I can feel it in my bones I fucked with the forces that our eyes can't see Now the darkness got a hold on me Holy darkness got a hold on me" Although we are cursed with original sin, our soul gives us the power to recognize situations that are evil that we may have been caught up in (addictions, bad behavior, jealousy, envy, etc.). This evil is taking away our ability to stay in the present and focus on our relationships and the simple beauty of life. It makes us not be in the present moment. Honesty to loved ones and personal reflection/meditation is the strongest power that we have against evil forces. "How long, baby, have I been away? Oh, it feels like ages though you say it's only days There ain't language for the things I've seen, yeah Yeah, the truth is stranger than my own worst dreams The truth is stranger than all my dreams Holy darkness got a hold on me" The person has temporarily broken away from the evil force's grasp and realizes all the things that they have missed in their life, and causes them to forget things or special moments in the past and is astounded. "The truth is stranger than my own worst dreams" means that the truth of being in an addiction or grasp of whatever evil force causes you to not be aware of what is actually going on and to pacify your hold on reality. And, as you reflect on the past, you can't figure out how everything went to shit, so it is a very mysterious/powerful evil force that you did not see coming. "I have seen what the darkness does (Say goodbye to who I was) I ain't never been away so long (Don't look back, them days are gone) Follow me into the endless night (I can bring your fears to life) Show me yours and I'll show you mine (Meet me in the woods tonight)" They have made the choice to move on from their past evil ways and has now learned by experience and personal reflection. And the only way to conquer it is to remain in the present and live in the present. Their partner is going to help them overcome it and talk it through while at the same time the partner also may share secrets of their past, and together they will be a stronger couple and individuals because of it. I think the woods is a metaphor for the natural world in general. LIfe can be beautiful, but other times life can by scary. There is fear of the unknown in nature, and naturally we sin without real thought or awareness of what we are doing until we later realize that those actions are not who we really are. The couple although in the dark woods (uncertainties of life in the natural world), will move forward and help each other out and prevent each other from falling back into a relapse of the past sin. |
