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.
In the dark days
I'll part ways with the blame
Trying to maintain
But it's still all the same
It's all a game
Hear my name in the rain and the pain
I wear on my face with a tear stain
You feign fondness, honestly it's time to give you a piece of my mind
And show you that you're blind
And in the design of the world I call mine, know that you can't stand
On both sides of the line
Everything is my fault
(It's all the same, just pass me the blame)
The problems have two faces
Everything is my fault
(It's all the same, just pass me the blame)
The problems have two faces
Pass all the blame over to me, it will come eventually
Take the time out to examine all these questions honestly
With my eyes shut, I'm seeing the truth in your words
The absurd, slurred into beauty to be heard
You swim through deceit, the lies that you tell
The stories you sell, knowing you well, I keep distance
And every instance you keep your thoughts concealed
What I feel, just another spoke in the wheel
All or nothing, thrown down and trampled by your heel
And eaten away by my own version of the real
Everything is my fault
(It's all the same, just pass me the blame)
The problems have two faces
Everything is my fault
(It's all the same, just pass me the blame)
The problems have two faces
Pass all the blame over to me, it will come eventually
Take the time out to examine all these questions honestly
Who is to blame?
Nothing, thrown down
It's all the same, just pass me the blame
Trampled by your heal
Play the game and wear the tear stain
Eaten by my own
Pass the blame 'cause you'll feel it if you don't
Version of the real
Nothing, thrown down
It's all the same, just pass me the blame
Trampled by your heal
Play the game and wear the tear stain
Eaten by my own
Pass the blame 'cause you'll feel it if you don't
Version of the real
I'll part ways with the blame
Trying to maintain
But it's still all the same
It's all a game
Hear my name in the rain and the pain
I wear on my face with a tear stain
You feign fondness, honestly it's time to give you a piece of my mind
And show you that you're blind
And in the design of the world I call mine, know that you can't stand
On both sides of the line
Everything is my fault
(It's all the same, just pass me the blame)
The problems have two faces
Everything is my fault
(It's all the same, just pass me the blame)
The problems have two faces
Pass all the blame over to me, it will come eventually
Take the time out to examine all these questions honestly
With my eyes shut, I'm seeing the truth in your words
The absurd, slurred into beauty to be heard
You swim through deceit, the lies that you tell
The stories you sell, knowing you well, I keep distance
And every instance you keep your thoughts concealed
What I feel, just another spoke in the wheel
All or nothing, thrown down and trampled by your heel
And eaten away by my own version of the real
Everything is my fault
(It's all the same, just pass me the blame)
The problems have two faces
Everything is my fault
(It's all the same, just pass me the blame)
The problems have two faces
Pass all the blame over to me, it will come eventually
Take the time out to examine all these questions honestly
Who is to blame?
Nothing, thrown down
It's all the same, just pass me the blame
Trampled by your heal
Play the game and wear the tear stain
Eaten by my own
Pass the blame 'cause you'll feel it if you don't
Version of the real
Nothing, thrown down
It's all the same, just pass me the blame
Trampled by your heal
Play the game and wear the tear stain
Eaten by my own
Pass the blame 'cause you'll feel it if you don't
Version of the real

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"

He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
