Awesome song, defenitely my favorite off of No Cities Left. As to what is means...the lyrics "Going where we lost it all; yet things before are with us now" really speaks of some of the deep overall meaning of the song for me...Lightburn is remembering a relationship that is gone, that ended badly, where things fell entirely apart and now there is nothing salvagable left. Most importantly, no matter what anyone says, even if what they say is something like "you're not alone," the fact that that relationship is gone will never go away. And now the memory of this floats back to the surface as perhaps it always does.
Just noticed this while scanning the lyrics...so I'll just throw it out there and I'd love for someone to say what they think: could this song be about anger at God, or more specifically, Christ, for seemingly leaving us 2000 years ago? (This would explain the rather arbitrary change from 1st person singular to 1st person plural after the first stanza.)
