The band was formed in 2009 and has undergone several lineup changes since its inception. TWIABP's now 9 piece lineup writes the songs collaboratively and often on-the-spot with vocal duties shared by 5 members. The band's sound is easily compared to second wave post-emo indie rock bands of the late 90s and early 2000s and their atmospheric moments are often tagged as "post-rock." The band creates their dense textured sound with multi-layered and heavily effected guitars as well as synthesizer, cello, and trumpet.

Low Light Assembly
The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We can't change this place the way it changes us.
The parking lot where we lay is more than home now.
Breathe in deep.
Please, breathe in deep.
The light bleeds through the window pane, into our eyelids.
Our bodies drown in Sheetz.
Anchored, exhausted.
Count the stains one by one, up on the ceiling.

The echoes race around the room, they sing together: "We are all the same"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Low Light Assembly by The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die talk about the unchangeable nature of the world and how it inevitably changes us. The parking lot where they lay now feels more like home to them than anywhere else. The lyrics also call on you to breathe deep, perhaps as a metaphor for the need to ground oneself in the face of these changes.

The light from outside seeps in through the window, creating a surreal and haunting atmosphere. The Sheetz they're drowning in is perhaps a reference to the gas station and convenience store chain. They feel anchored and exhausted, unable to escape the world's unyielding grip. The ceiling stains serve as a reminder of their temporary existence in the world. The echoes of their voice that race around the room seem to suggest that despite our differences, we are all united in our impermanence and the shared experience of our mortality.

Overall, the lyrics of Low Light Assembly are open to interpretation, and the song provides a space for personal introspection and reflection. The dreamlike atmosphere they create with their words allows for a haunting and hypnotic listening experience that truly captures the feeling of being lost in a world that is constantly changing.

Line by Line Meaning

We can't change this place the way it changes us.
We cannot alter our environment the way it alters us.

The parking lot where we lay is more than home now.
The spot where we rest is now more than a mere residence.

Breathe in deep.
Inhale deeply.

Please, breathe in deep.
Kindly inhale deeply.

The light bleeds through the window pane, into our eyelids.
Sunshine seeps through the glass and onto our closed eyes.

Our bodies drown in Sheetz.
We are consumed by the surroundings we are in.

Anchored, exhausted.
We are held in place and depleted.

Count the stains one by one, up on the ceiling.
Enumerate each blemish on the ceiling, one at a time.

The echoes race around the room, they sing together: "We are all the same"
The reverberations race through the room, chanting in unison: "We are all identical".
