For Dan and Jill, the hunt led them to one another. The duo turned 4 piece band are forging an exciting, dreamy electro-pop sound that is attracting listeners on both coasts. Less than 48 hours after releasing their debut single "Lost" it was played on University Of Pennsylvania's WXPN. Since then, the track has received blog acceptance by Pigeons and Planes, Indie Shuffle, The Burning Ear and Neon Gold. They are embarking on their first tour this spring supporting Capital Cities and are releasing their debut EP in early April.

Slow Dancing
Scavenger Hunt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I start to believe my lies
And the secrets in my heart there
In a place that I can't hide
There's not enough rain to wash you away
Not enough tears to make you stay
We loved and we lost and we threw it away
Meet me in my dreams tonight
I always seem to find you there
I'm alone but that's all right
I know a place that we could share
Where we're slow dancing
Slow dancing
Slow dancing
Like we're ghosts tonight
Not asking
Not asking
Not asking
We expose to know
The shapes there, the outlines
And so many shades of gray
In the corners, in the angles
Will be slowly fading away
I don't have the strength to wash you away
I'm not the one who can make you stay
I love you, I lose you every day
Meet me in my dreams tonight
I always seem to find you there
I'm alone but that's all right
I know a place where we can share
Where we're slow dancing
Slow dancing
Slow dancing
Like we're ghosts tonight
Not asking
Not asking
Not asking
To be exposed to know
The memories fade
But I don't know you touched like the back of my hand
The pictures have fade
But I don't know your breath on the back of my neck
The memories fade
But I know you touch like the back of my hand
The pictures will fade
But I know your breath on the back of my neck
Meet me in my dreams tonight
I always seem to find you there
I'm alone but that's all right
I know a place where we could share
Where we're slow dancing
Slow dancing
Slow dancing
Like we're ghosts tonight
Not asking
Not asking
Not asking
To be exposed to know
The lyrics to Scavenger Hunt's song Slow Dancing describe the struggle of letting go of a past love and the lingering feelings that come with it. The singer is haunted by memories of their former lover and cannot seem to fully let go, as they keep appearing in their dreams. The chorus describes a desire to slow dance with their lost love, but acknowledges that they may just be ghosts. The line "not asking to be exposed to know" could mean that the singer is not trying to understand the truth behind their failed relationship, as it may only cause them pain.
The verses highlight the struggle of accepting the reality that their love is gone. The singer cannot hide their feelings as they are in their heart, but they also cannot wash them away. The line "in the corners, in the angles, will be slowly fading away" could suggest that the memories will eventually fade, but it will take time. The chorus expresses a desire for the lost love to return, even if it's just in their dreams.
Overall, the song captures the bittersweet feeling of missing someone who is no longer there, and the struggle to let go of the past while still holding onto the memories and feelings.
Line by Line Meaning
There's a weakness in the darkness
The darkness brings out my vulnerabilities and flaws
And I start to believe my lies
In the darkness, I begin to believe the lies I tell myself
And the secrets in my heart there
My secrets remain hidden in my heart
In a place that I can't hide
I cannot conceal my secrets from myself
There's not enough rain to wash you away
No amount of sadness can erase the memory of you
Not enough tears to make you stay
Crying won't bring back the love that we lost
We loved and we lost and we threw it away
Our love was lost due to our mistakes
Meet me in my dreams tonight
I hope to see you in my dreams tonight
I always seem to find you there
You always appear in my dreams
I'm alone but that's all right
I accept that I am alone
I know a place that we could share
Yet, I believe that we have a place in which we can connect
Where we're slow dancing
We are moving slowly, gravitating in a dance towards closure
Slow dancing
Slowly closing a chapter in our life together
Slow dancing
Gently letting ourselves move forward, without the past hurting us
Like we're ghosts tonight
We move together like the people we used to be, but no longer are
Not asking
There is no need for questions
Not asking
Silently acknowledging our emotions
Not asking
We understand each other without words
We expose to know
We reveal ourselves in order to understand and move on
The shapes there, the outlines
We are breaking down the complex forms of our emotions
And so many shades of gray
Our feelings are not black and white, but a spectrum of colors
In the corners, in the angles
Our deepest emotions are hidden in the smallest details of our being
Will be slowly fading away
Our attachment to these emotions will slowly disappear
I don't have the strength to wash you away
I am unable to completely forget you
I'm not the one who can make you stay
I cannot convince you to stay with me
I love you, I lose you every day
My love for you causes me pain every day
The memories fade
My memories of you are slowly disappearing
But I don't know you touched like the back of my hand
I remember you so well, as if you were a part of me
The pictures have fade
The images of you are slowly disappearing from my mind
But I don't know your breath on the back of my neck
I can still vividly imagine your presence and intimacy
To be exposed to know
We need to expose our emotions to fully understand them
