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.
This is my home
This is where I love to be
Running on the beach
Smiling 'cause you're next to me
This is where you saw my naked soul in Janeiro
(I never want to lose you again)
This is where I love to be
Running on the beach
Smiling 'cause you're next to me
This is where you saw my naked soul in Janeiro
(I never want to lose you again)

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Wikipedia has a pretty comprehensive explanation about the meaning.
"Janeiro" is a vocal trance music track produced and released in 2000 by Solid Sessions.
The song is about a girl who falls love with a DJ on tour who visits Icaraà Beach in Nikiti, Rio de Janeiro State during a chance meeting. She loses contact with him when he goes home and pines for him. She meets up with him again at a later date on the same beach, again by chance. She makes her interest known at this time and asserts her wishes to remain with him. Over the years many fan based interpretations were derived from the original.[1]
The success of the track is largely attributed to the vocal remix done by Pronti and Kalmani, whose studio was next door to Solid Sessions' studio in the same building. Pronti and Kalmani liked the track the first time they heard it but they felt it could use some extra production work and wanted to write vocals for it. They asked Solid Sessions if they would like to collaborate on the track with the guarantee that they would respect the beauty of the original work and that if it was not agreed that both producers liked the remix it would not be released.
In 2002 the song's popularity grew with new remixes by big-name DJs such as Armin van Buuren, Kyau & Albert and James Holden (producer). The song was remixed again in 2006 by 4 Strings and San & Sebastian Moore. In 2009 the song appeared again in a new version on the album 'The new daylight' by Dash Berlin. Dash Berlin later released his 4AM Remix which was featured on A State Of Trance episode 455. A remix by Signum was featured on Corsten's Countdown 149.
Pronti and Kalmani's remix featured vocals by Russian vocalist Vera. The music video was actually recorded in Rio de Janeiro featuring a Brazilian and a Greek super model.
