I hope I'm not the only one to ever comment on this haha. I was one of those kids who loved hellogoodbye in the very very earliest of beginnings when people considered them "indie" and not well known at all haha. Back in the EP/Cali only days. They were a favorite for a lot of us back then i think. Finally zombies came out and we all loved it but it was also popularity extraordinaire so fast. Que twelve year olds. Okay now fast forward like 3+ years. All of us who loved them as young music-whore high school kids are in college now. There is new indie music to love and HG is definately not "cool" to like as it once was, yet if you ever had a connection with this band you still secretly listen to them on your ipod when you're feeling happy go lucky or nostalgic. Now que this new EP.....years later.....we've all grown up....yet.....we listen........the first time i listened to the song "When we first met" i thought it was "ok", but would i ever listen to it? eh maybe if i was still 16. When i heard this song, i actually liked it. Like genuinely. A more mature sound. More mature song. It sounds and feels a lot different from the old hg but i still liked it and I was actually surprised about it. Good job hellogoodbye. As for the meaning? the part about the stars obviously reflects the fact that it seems to move so slow to us but its really moving at the speed of light. That's why it conflicts slow and swiftly. Also i think it could be about unrequited love and its just not going to work again. That is why they are never going "home" or to the way it used to be.
