He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
She's thunderstorms
Lyin' on her front
Up against the wall
She's thunderstorms
I've been feelin' foolish
You should try it
She came and substituted
The peace and quiet for
Acrobatic blood flow concertina
Cheatin' heart beat
Rapid fire
She's thunderstorms
Lyin' on her front
Up against the wall
She's thunderstorms
Here is your host
Sounds as if she's pretty close
When the heat starts growing horns
She's thunderstorms
She's been loop-the-loopin'
Around my mind
Her motorcycle boots give
Me this kind of
Acrobatic blood concertina
Cheatin' heart beat
Rapid fire
She's thunderstorms
Lyin' on her front
Up against the wall
She's thunderstorms
In an unusual place
When you're feelin' far away
She does what the night does to the day
She's thunderstorms
Lyin' on her front
Up against the wall
She's thunderstorms
Thunderstorms
Thunderstorms
Lyin' on her front
Up against the wall
She's thunderstorms
I've been feelin' foolish
You should try it
She came and substituted
The peace and quiet for
Acrobatic blood flow concertina
Cheatin' heart beat
Rapid fire
She's thunderstorms
Lyin' on her front
Up against the wall
She's thunderstorms
Here is your host
Sounds as if she's pretty close
When the heat starts growing horns
She's thunderstorms
She's been loop-the-loopin'
Around my mind
Her motorcycle boots give
Me this kind of
Acrobatic blood concertina
Cheatin' heart beat
Rapid fire
She's thunderstorms
Lyin' on her front
Up against the wall
She's thunderstorms
In an unusual place
When you're feelin' far away
She does what the night does to the day
She's thunderstorms
Lyin' on her front
Up against the wall
She's thunderstorms
Thunderstorms
Thunderstorms

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"

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Alex Turner on 'She’s Thunderstorms':
"I remember writing this one when there was a storm going on. They get like mad storms over there [in New York], like, apocalyptic. I’m always trying to think of different interesting ways to like describe somebody but compliment them too. So in that one, I like the idea that she’s not even a thunderstorm, she’s more than one. I quite like the fact she’s plural. 'Thunderstorms’ meaning just, y’know, awesome!"
