(Title should be "Eternal Shore")

Crash against her and be broken
Lying dormant in the depths of her consciousness
She always knew I was there
Kept me away
Kept me at bay

Witness the birth of a goddess
What do you know of unlimited power?
She's all she could want to be
She is fire!
Life incarnate!
Now and forever
She is the rock of the eternal shore
Crash against her and be broken

Hunger for the feeling of ecstacy
I crave the ultimate sensation
Lust for the feeling
Lust for the feeling of this destiny
It consumes me

Crash against her and be broken
She is fire!
Life incarnate!
Now and forever
She is the rock of the eternal shore
Crash against her and be broken

An essence of beautiful terror
Her power is a song wtihin herself
Ask not for pity
There is none in her
Ask not for mercy
There is none in her

Crash against her and be broken
What do you know of unlimited power?
She's all she could want to be
She is fire!
Life incarnate!
Now and forever
She is the rock of the eternal shore
Crash against her and be broken
She is fire!
Life incarnate!

    Band stated in interview that each song is about a different comic book character(s), but that the lyrics are also written vaguely enough to be relateable.

    Characters: I am 90% certain this is about Jean Grey becoming the Pheonix. The fire line in particular is telling. The line, "I am the rocks of the eternal shore: crash against me and be broken," is actually a quote from Apocalypse, but the lyrics are written about a female character.

    General message: Taken out of context, this almost sounds like wanting to get with a girl that you put on a pedestal, but she is also either unobtainable or a complete snob/maneater.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

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.

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"
