its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Welcome to hell
Welcome to hell that's what I heard them sing
Welcome to hell yeah
Oh we're so happy that you're here today
There's a warden waiting to meet me
As I make my way inside of the jail
He smiles at me ever so sweetly
And sends to me on route to my cell
Welcome to hell
Welcome to hell that's what I heard them sing
Welcome to hell yeah
Oh we're so happy that you're here today
Grins all up on their faces
Lookin so delighted I'm here
Murders, robbers and rapists
All shouting up in my ear
Welcome to hell
Welcome to hell that's what I heard them sing
Welcome to hell yeah
Oh we're so happy that you're here today
Put my brave face on
Can't let 'em know that I'm scared
Put my brave face on
Cos if they know then I'm dead
I put my brave face on
Can't let 'em know that I'm scared
I put my brave face on
And don't I know, don't I know, don't I know
Just how low, just how low, just how low (just how low)
I've fallen down, I've fallen down
And I can see, I can see, I can see
What's in store for me, oh for me, oh for me
Fallin out, there's no way out now
Welcome to hell
Welcome to hell that's what I heard them sing
Welcome to hell yeah
Oh we're so happy that you're here today
Welcome to hell yeah
Welcome to hell that's what I heard them sing
Welcome to hell hey

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"

@[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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
The song and album are pretty much self explanatory.
The album is a story of Strickland Banks, who is falsely accused of a crime and spends time in prison. It takes you through stories of his prison sentence
