Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Can you lick my wounds please
Can you make it numb
And kill the pain like cortisone
And grant me intimacy
How'll we split your chromosomes
Yeah, more sweet narcosis
Yeah, more sweet narcosis (I'll turn a stone I'll find you)
Yeah, more sweet narcosis (I'll turn a stone I'll find you)
I turn a stone I'll find you there
Into reflected light I'll stare
You blind me with flash bulbs
And puzzle me with syllables
Back to sleep
Yeah more sweet narcosis (I'll turn a stone I'll find you)
Yeah more sweet narcosis (I'll turn a stone I'll find you)
Yeah more sweet narcosis (I'll turn a stone I'll find you)
My heads between my knees again
Got needle set to zero
And you can shoot me hurricanes
Don't spare me the details
Yeah more sweet narcosis (I'll turn a stone I'll find you)
Yeah more sweet narcosis (I'll turn a stone I'll find you)
Yeah more sweet narcosis
More sweet
More sweet
Iconography fucks with me
You look great in bloodstains
Can you make it numb
And kill the pain like cortisone
And grant me intimacy
How'll we split your chromosomes
Yeah, more sweet narcosis
Yeah, more sweet narcosis (I'll turn a stone I'll find you)
Yeah, more sweet narcosis (I'll turn a stone I'll find you)
I turn a stone I'll find you there
Into reflected light I'll stare
You blind me with flash bulbs
And puzzle me with syllables
Back to sleep
Yeah more sweet narcosis (I'll turn a stone I'll find you)
Yeah more sweet narcosis (I'll turn a stone I'll find you)
Yeah more sweet narcosis (I'll turn a stone I'll find you)
My heads between my knees again
Got needle set to zero
And you can shoot me hurricanes
Don't spare me the details
Yeah more sweet narcosis (I'll turn a stone I'll find you)
Yeah more sweet narcosis (I'll turn a stone I'll find you)
Yeah more sweet narcosis
More sweet
More sweet
Iconography fucks with me
You look great in bloodstains

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.
one of those toxic yet utterly addictive relationships one can't help but stay in. 'antistar', to me, is about a dysfunctional, all-consuming romance - the singer is addicted to the other ("can you make it numb? / and kill the pain like cortisole") in spite of the ultimately destructive nature of their relationship (hence "iconography / fucks with me / you look great in bloodstains").
mostly i just adore the strings and the beats in this song - sweeping, anguished, a perfect closing track for '100th window'.
