its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Jynx me something crazy
Thinkin' if it's three then
I'm as smooth as the skin rolls across the small of your back
It's too bad it's not my style if you need me
I'm out and on the parkway patient and waiting for headlights
Dressed in a fashion that's fitting to the inconsistencies of my moods
It's times like these where silence means everything and no one is to know about this
It's times like these where silence means everything (so no one is to know about this)
It's a campaign of distraction (distraction)
Revisionist history, oh (and revisionist history)
It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
It's a shame I doubt they even care
No one is to know about this
It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
It's a shame I doubt they even care
Don't let me down
But whatever I have been gettin' myself into lately
Has been slicing inches from my waist
It's my face vs. the bottle (and thank God you weren't there)
And that's how bad could this hurt
Against I won't feel a thing (and thank God you weren't there)
I tell you all about
It's just not working out (to watch me hit bottom)
Not working out
It's a campaign of distraction (distraction)
Revisionist history, oh (and revisionist history)
It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
It's a shame I doubt they even care
No one is to know about this
It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
It's a shame I doubt they even care
No one is to know about this
Don't let me down
Better than
This is we why (we why)
We were taught so much better than this (so much better)
This is going anywhere (than this)
We like to rewind (better)
We were taught so much (so much better)
Better than, better than this (better than this!)

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
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.
the beggining means hes a mess and drunk just outside waiting for headlights to remind him of reality. hes glad of the silence so that he can think about what a mess hes in."and thank god you werent there to watch me hit bottom""no one needs to know about this" hes aware he needs to sort it out alone and that no one would understand "its a shame i dont think that they notice, its a shame i doubt they even care"
distractions such as drinking anesthetise him to the hardships of life and hes bailing out behind alcohol. this song amost gives the impression he finds his life to much to bear without help of alcohol. and he knows it
although there is someone he hopes wont let him down and understands.
"this is why we were taught so much better than this" "this is what living like this does" living how he is makes him realise that this is why people are taught so much better than that.
if someone could clarify that id love to know!
