Highland's Apparition

this song is actually about a sort of haunting they had in the first house they bought together. The house was on highland st. hence the name of the song.

Awoke up certain lays a tomb Her tree holds it Unbeknownst still sending chills

the body of the previous owners father was buried under a tree in there yard. the line " Unbeknownst still sending chills" refers to how each of them felt like they were being touched while they were sleeping, giving them the chills. they were in an interview thing on Octane, where they explained their album

Yea, frodriguez is correct. I live in Virginia, and the band did a 45 minute interview with Elliot in the Morning and they explained the song as pertaining to a house they lived in. Sam and Pete were working drywall at the time in Chicago, and had parties often. They said when friends would stay at the house after a party, they'd wake up and explain the same nightmares they had that other friends had who had stayed in the house, too. Pete said they knew about the hauntings but never told their friends, which is hilarious. They explained that sometimes it'd look like people were walking into the rooms they were sleeping in, and often felt chills and being touched in the house, commonly at night. Pete also said that one day a woman was dancing in the front lawn and he asked "Can I help you?" The woman smiled, asked to come into the house because she used to live there and said her father and cat were buried under the tree in the back yard... They didn't let her in. Anyways, everything I explained comes right from the interview and you can see it in the lyrics.

This song rules, it's tied for my favorite off the new album. The song sounds like how you have to get through be nervous to do things, but still be nervous to be normal. IDK, maybe?

Yeah, like you're already to do something. Idk lol. Like you see something new that you've never experienced before And you're not even nervous when you're looking at it in the face You're just brave without fear or that fear of not understanding. You're just ready without the butterflies. Ex: Like your first day of school lol, everyone's usually nervous but maybe there's always that one kid who's just ready or something.

Lol, aside from that, I'm positive on every lyric I typed except for the word in the end of the chorus "Now pointing [towards]" and the words in the breakdown, "[I'm still pointing], sit and stare". The words in the brackets are the ones I'm uncertain of.

Lol I meant "shudder" I think I typed it wrong lol

it definitely says "search for the soulless ends now point em' toward rest" that makes sence right?

'Tis an interesting song.

Here's the lyrics from the album

See it Startled Afternoon I had to ask Or dare I, ever know Tell us We are demented Watch as attention span Hold so fast Then go up in smoke

I don't think you're Nervous enough It happened to show its own face Search for the soulless ends No point him towards rest

Cuplrits, shudder Apparitions left in time If we're honest, sight unknown Crowing, frozen, bedroom Awoke up certain lays a tomb Her tree holds it Unbeknownst still sending chills

You won't find me curling up A place that should make sense Well excuse me for this Better judgment Night is so worth waiting for A blinding scare so cauterizing Arms out pointing sit and stare at This proof This living proof This proof This living proof

Sun's up Braver Hands and legs untouched Before we forget Save this Unaging proof

Lyrics updated. :)

Can't have a bad trip with pot really, so maybe acid or something if it was about a drug. However, I think the UFO meaning is better. After re-reading the lyrics thinking about UFO's, it sounds like it could be about an alien encounter.
