Modera disbanded in 2005 when the members graduated high school and went to college. They probably could have kept going if they really felt like it, but dorm life was so fun we couldn’t waste our time on other things.
The band is basically back together, now in the form of Everyone Everywhere (based out of Philadelphia). Luke isn’t in the band, but he’s a successful photographer now, so he’s better off than all of us.
Intruder
Modera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They come passing by
One after the other
On the left side of my heart
When I lay at night
They come take my hand
They don't make a sound
When I sleep at night
They're passing by
One after the other
On the left of my heart
When I sleep at night
At night
At night
At night
When I sleep at night
When I sleep at night
Modera's song Intruder contains lyrics that reflect on the haunting presence of someone or something that follows and visits the singer in their sleep. The lyrics suggest that the entity is both elusive and mysterious - appearing without warning and vanishing before they can be fully understood.
The lyrics "they come passing by, one after the other, on the left side of my heart" indicate that the singer feels a physical and emotional connection to the intruders. The phrase "on the left side of my heart" suggests that the entity is close to their emotions or feelings, something that is very personal and intimate. The line "they don't make a sound when they lie with me" implies that the intruders may be calming to the singer or may provide comfort, despite their intrusiveness.
The repetition of the phrase "when I sleep at night" in the chorus reinforces the theme of the song, emphasizing that the singer's nighttime encounters are the focus of the lyrics. The sparse instrumentation in the background of the song allows the vocals to take the forefront, adding to the overall tone of the song as eerie and otherworldly.
