I remember travelling by your side
I was your disciple and you were my guide
Now the choice is made and the wrong is done
and I will meet you next year in Zion
Next year in Zion

And I remember the drugs we did
I was drinking opium and you were smoking weed
There are healthier things I now get high on
And I will meet you next year in Zion
Next year in Zion

I have no home and I have no house
and I am quiet like a mouse
but I can fight like a giant
and I will meet you next year in Zion
Next year in Zion

Now no one has a thousand friends
and something starts where another ends
I was wrong when I said you were the one I could rely on
and I will meet you next year in Zion
Next year in Zion

Now drink your wine and drink your beer
And kindle your candle on the chandelier
It looks like gold but it's made of iron
I will meet you next year in Zion
Next year in Zion

I have no home and I have no house
and I am quiet like a mouse
but I can fight like a giant
and I will meet you next year in Zion
Next year in Zion

I have no home and I have no house
and I am quiet like a mouse
but I can roar like a lion
and I will meet you next year in Zion
I will meet you next year in Zion
I will meet you-

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”

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
