Meet Me in the Woods
by
Lord Huron
Being a soldier for 20 years I hear this differently. To me it seems to resonate as a dark journey. Going from naivety, youth and young ambitions. A soldier trains and is the same person until he goes to war. Time stops or changes. Nothing seems the same. After seeing terrible horrors and noble bravery at the same time you become irrevocably changed. “Fuck with the forces that the eyes can’t see” is about the death of youth through experience. “Come back changed” is what happened to all is us. “Meet me in the woods” means that no one understands but if you want, follow us and we will show you.
