Transpose was recorded in the studio with producer Eric Palmquist (The Mars Volta, Wavves, Trash Talk) and serves as a prelude to the band’s debut full-length slated for 2014. “The writing and recording process is always exciting, because it’s constantly changing and unique to each song. Inspiration comes and goes as it pleases, so a night when a song gets written is a very good night,” says Christo. Comprised of four tracks, Transpose flows effortlessly from start to finish showcasing the band’s stadium ready anthems and undeniably catchy hooks. “Music has the ability to evoke certain feelings in people, a way that not much else can. The pairing of words and sounds can be an extremely powerful tool, when done right. I think the ultimate goal for this band is to make music that causes people to really feel something.”
Aside from writing a record, Bad Suns’ 2013 was a busy one, complete with multiple CMJ showcases as well as sharing the stage with the likes of The 1975 and Vaccines with no signs of slowing down any time soon.
Maybe We're Meant To Be Alone
Bad Suns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can't go in alone
Are we whole or just two halves
Reaching out to the unknown?
No, I can't help my ways
It don't make such sense to me
All these cold and rainy days
I've got a voice inside my head
And a feeling in my gut
I don't know just who to believe
When you're torn in two, who can you trust?
No I can't help my ways
It don't make much sense to me
All these cold and rainy days
Maybe we're meant to be alone
Maybe we're meant to be alone
Maybe we're meant to be alone
Maybe we're meant to be alone
And then I met you, I wanted to love you so bad
But I don't know if I'll let myself
You came here for somebody else
And now I'm trying hard to heal
Sometimes I fantasize about faking my own death
Just to see how it would make you feel
No I can't help my ways
It don't make much sense to me
All these cold and rainy days
Maybe we're meant to be alone
So what's wrong with my ways?
Why can't it make sense to me?
I'm sick of these rainy days
Maybe we're meant to be alone
Maybe we're meant to be alone
Maybe we're meant to be alone
Maybe we're meant to be alone
Maybe we're meant to be alone
Maybe we're meant to be alone
Maybe we're meant to be alone
Maybe we're meant to be alone
The lyrics of Bad Suns's song "Maybe We're Meant To Be Alone" explore the uncertainties and doubts that one experiences when trying to connect with another person. The first verse talks about having a perfect plan but not being able to go through with it alone, which implies a sense of longing for companionship. However, the question arises whether they are whole on their own or simply looking for someone to complete them. The use of the phrase "reaching out to the unknown" suggests that they are taking a risk by reaching out to someone else.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "Maybe we're meant to be alone" three times, which reinforces the doubts that the singer is feeling about their relationship. The second verse introduces the idea that one's inner voice and gut feeling may not always agree on matters of the heart. They express their struggles to find trust when feeling torn between two options. The bridge of the song reveals that the singer met someone they wanted to love, but the other person may have had different intentions. They admit to having indulged in fantasies of faking their own death to see if the other person would care. In the end, the singer remains unsure if they should allow themselves to love the other person or if they are better off alone.
Overall, the lyrics of "Maybe We're Meant To Be Alone" capture the complexity of relationships and the fears that come with opening oneself up to another person.

I've got a picture perfect plan
I have a well-thought-out idea
But I can't go in alone
But I cannot execute it on my own
Are we whole or just two halves
Are we complete individuals or do we need each other to be whole?
Reaching out to the unknown?
Reaching out to the unfamiliar?
No, I can't help my ways
No, I cannot control my actions
It don't make such sense to me
It doesn't make sense to me
All these cold and rainy days
All these melancholic days
Maybe we're meant to be alone
Maybe it's better for us to be alone
I've got a voice inside my head
I have a feeling or intuition
And a feeling in my gut
And another feeling or instinct
I don't know just who to believe
I'm unsure of whom to trust
When you're torn in two, who can you trust?
When you're conflicted, who can you rely on?
And then I met you, I wanted to love you so bad
And then I met you, I had a strong desire to be with you
But I don't know if I'll let myself
But I don't know if I'll allow myself to be vulnerable with you
You came here for somebody else
You came here with someone else in mind
And now I'm trying hard to heal
And now I'm trying to recover
Sometimes I fantasize about faking my own death
Sometimes I daydream about disappearing forever
Just to see how it would make you feel
Just to gauge your reaction
So what's wrong with my ways?
So what's wrong with my behavior?
Why can't it make sense to me?
Why can't I rationalize it?
I'm sick of these rainy days
I'm tired of feeling sad and lonely
Maybe we're meant to be alone
Perhaps we're destined to be alone
