The song "Seek Another" by James Vincent McMorrow talks about the dangers of going out alone and facing the unknown. The lyrics describe a mysterious waterfall where people throw themselves from the top of the stream. McMorrow warns the listener to not go out alone, as he has seen terrible things happen before. The song also touches upon the idea of boundaries and who sets them. The line "Who built the wall that reached the sea? Who placed it here beneath my feet?" alludes to the idea that sometimes, the boundaries that we face are not of our own making. As the song progresses, McMorrow describes the feeling of being disrupted and interrupted by something deep within him, and the fear of what happens when courage leaves. However, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, there is a glimmer of hope and the possibility of finding something valuable, represented by the diamond ahead. Ultimately, the song seems to encourage the listener to seek out companionship and togetherness, rather than going it alone. As he repeats the line "back to our horses, back to sleep," McMorrow seems to emphasize the importance of having a safe and secure place to return to. Overall, "Seek Another" is a haunting and introspective song that explores themes of fear, uncertainty, and the importance of companionship.
