Latter Days
Latter Days' Reflection: A Tale of Resilience and Connection
Lyrics
How long? Is what you asked
Expressing a query about the duration or extent of something
How long do you think it's gonna last?
Asking about the expected duration of a situation or circumstance
You at the corner store
Describing the person being at a local store
You were stocking up before the storm
Preparing for an upcoming storm by stocking up on supplies
Stacked yourself against the odds
Facing challenges and difficulties, confronting unfavorable circumstances
Talking back to an act of god
Challenging or questioning fate or a higher power
You and your clever mouth
Referring to someone's witty or intelligent speech
You were laughing when the lights went out
Reacting with laughter during a moment of crisis or darkness
I recall it all forever
Reflecting on a past experience with a sense of permanence
How it found us where we lay
Recalling how a significant event found the speaker and someone else
With our arms around each other
Depicting an intimate moment with arms around each other
In the latter days, in the latter days
Referencing a period of time, possibly challenging, in the future
How high? Is what you said
Pondering the extent or intensity of a situation
How high do you think it's gonna get?
Questioning the potential height or escalation of something
You at the water's edge
Depicting a past moment near the water, possibly in childhood
On the jetty when you were a kid
Specifically recalling being on a jetty during childhood
Passed around a plastic cup
Describing a communal or social moment with a plastic cup
Passed out spinning in the house where you grew up
Illustrating a state of unconsciousness in the familiar house
You in your childhood bed
Depicting a person in their childhood bed
And the wildest dream you ever had
Recalling a particularly vivid or fantastical dream
You recall it all forever
Continuing the theme of remembering significant moments
How it found you where you lay
Describing how a momentous event found someone
And you called out for your brother
Calling out for a sibling during a challenging time
In the latter days
Repeating the reference to a challenging period in the future
I recall it all forever
Reiterating the idea of permanent recollection of past events
How it found us where we lay
Reflecting on shared experiences with another person
With our arms around each other
Depicting closeness with arms around each other during challenging times
In the latter days
Repeating the reference to a challenging period in the future
How high, do you?
Repeating the inquiry about the potential intensity or escalation of a situation
How high, do you?
-I recall it all forever
Continuing the theme of remembering significant moments
How we sheltered in our place
Recalling a time of seeking refuge or protection in a specific location
And we called each other lovers
Describing a supportive relationship during challenging times
In the latter days
Reiterating the theme of challenging times and intimate connections
I recall it all forever
Repeating the idea of permanent recollection of past events
How there was no hiding place
Recalling a time when there was no place to hide from challenges
So we called each other brothers
Referring to close relationships and support during difficult times
In the latter days, in the latter days
Repeating the reference to a challenging period in the future
