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.
There's a waiting list to the bottom, under you.
Ex-husbands, romantics and perverts and masochists.
I'm gonna be there too.
Where's the stop where the train's gonna hit me?
True, I live for when you bullshit me.
Tell me you want me, tell me you need me.
Undress me with your eyes.
Lie to me.
Here we are, in love again.
Congratulations,
I'm here as the entertaining fool.
Must have broke every bone in your wrist, how romantic of you.
We both got this sickness; goddamn it's addictive.
It's got me bleeding for two.
Where's the truck full of bricks here to crush me?
Don't you fuck with this halo above me.
Tell me you caught me, tell me I'm sorry.
Kick me back in your life.
Torture me.

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
The Night We Met
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"

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.
this guy really likes his girlfriend ;) he knows that she's not good for him, but he can't help loving her. She seems pleased with the situation, because he congratulates her with catching him again. sad really, but good song :D
he's in love with someone, and knows it's headed for disaster. it's a bitter song, since he doesn't want to be in love with her, but he can't help the way he feels. he knows it's a bad scene. he knows it's unhealthy, but can't help it. therefore is very bitter about the situation.
that's what i think anyway :) sweet song
I agree with happy.arm - he's addicted, yet he feels like he's in a rut because of her. "Congratulations" is obviously sarcastic, like "look at where we are, good fucking job."
There should be more comments on this song. One of my favourites from Ruiner.
Excuse the double comment but I forget to mention something.
She's a player/whore.
"There's a waiting list... I'm gonna be there too."
So she's done this before to all different sorts of people, she's known for being a heartbreaker, and he's going to be the next one on her list.
I think this is about an "on again, off again" relationship that is beating him up emotionally.
