Cover art for The Night We Met lyrics by 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"

My Interpretation

@bucknut1998 I like your theory, it's actually well thought out. But I don't believe it started out bad. I believe he went into the realtionship great, but it then turned bad. He wants to travel back to the night they met so he can relive that perfect night. The night that made him want to be with her in the first place. But he doesn't just want to relive that night, he does want to stop himself from going down that road.

"And then I can tell myself Not to ride along with you"

I think this song...

these comments will become 20,30 years old and people will still visit the site, upvote the comments. I don't know why the time stamped on the comments terrifies me. How tiny are we compared to the time frame of the universe. Still we get to be in such an era of greatness and melancholy. sometimes i wanna hug the commenter, because the commenter is the only person i can relate to at 4a.m
