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.
Out of gas
Out of road
Out of car
I don't know how I'm going to go and
I had a drink the other day
Opinions were like kittens
I was giving them away and
I had a drink the other day
I had a lot to say
And I said
You will come down soon too
You will come down too soon
Out of road
Out of car
I don't know how I'm going to go and
I had a drink the other day
Opinions were like kittens
I was giving them away and
I had a drink the other day
I had a lot to say
And I said
You will come down soon too
You will come down too soon

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"

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.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I always interpretted this song as him saying he's stuck, and the parts where he talks about having a drink and saying "you will come down soon too" was him saying to people that may be looking down on him for being in a rut, or being a drunk, or whatever it may be, that they too will have their down fall, so they shouldn't judge. That's just my two cents.
I always get the "You will come down too soon" part stuck in my head when I'm high, then later on I think about it again it's so fucking true.
The lyrics of this song may be some of the most creative in all of Brock's writings. The first three lines are the most creative way I could think of to say that he is literally stuck in life, and has no where to go from there. Being out of gas, out of car, means even if he does obtain one, he still doesn't have the other to go anywhere. And in the event he can get those aspects figured out, he doesn't even have road to move on, and so he is still completely and utterly stuck.
So where all roads in life end, in intoxication. he drunkenly is telling everyone around him that no matter how good it is at that moment, they are gonna fall back into the same position he is. And he is telling everyone, like one gives away kittens....
I dunno, that seems less insightful now that I've written it down.
this is about some guy whos pissed at his family friends or watever got a lil drunk and told them exactly wat he thinks of them. Now he's tried to get away from it , but cant. he's out of gas, the little faith he had to escape has gone
This song is awesome. I love the part: Opinions were like kittens I was giving them away
I hate when people think every song is about drugs.
But anyway, I feel this is about some guy who has hit rock bottom and has nowhere else to go, and everyone else that looks down upon him he states that they will "come down soon too".
Issac is a raging alcoholic/addict man, of course a majority of his songs will be centered in drugs in one way or the other
I agree as well. This song does sound a lot like it's about him coming down from a drug and telling other people they will come down soon as well, as in sober up. He had a drink, had things to say, and started talking about coming down. The rest of the meaning I'm not too sure of, but I agree with a lot of the things others have said.
these top ones all nailed it.
^agreed
wow, i always thought it was... "opinions were like kisses i was giving them away" but yeah. i listened just to check and these lyrics are correct, heh. shakes head
