"Take us Back" Song Theory *** UPDATED***
Remember that song at the end of episode 5?
"Atop the crags and cliffs the air is thin
So we'll find a mountain path on down the hill
Meet me where the snowmelts flows
It is there, my dear, where we'll begin again
Skipping stones, braiding hair
Last years antlers mark the trail
I've a friend who lives out by the rivers mouth
He knows the fiddle's cry is an old sound
A lonesome bow, the creaks and moans of empty houses
Are songs like falling rain
Wind blown buildings, muddy ground
The strength of water can sink a man
When the higher hills have turned to blue
And the waves are lapping where the children grew
All that we have known will be an echo
Of days when love was true
Muted voices, just beyond
The silent surface of what has gone"
So, it may be strange, but I think there are some tips about Season 2 on this lyrics. One examples:
"Meet me where the snowmelts flows
It is there, my dear, where we'll begin again"
"Snowmelts flows... where we'll begin again... " Cold it be Wellington?
"So we'll find a mountain path on down the hill" Wasn't Episode 2 all about the Ski Resort and mountain?
"I've a friend who lives out by the rivers mouth" Well, the Cabin Group was near a River....
That's what I was able to find on the "Take Us Back" song.
Am I just seeing things or this is actually some tips about what happened/will happen?
What do you think?
Complete Season Update:
The strength of water can sink a man - As @Clemy-Clue150 said, Luke gets drowned...
When the higher hills have turned to blue
And the waves are lapping where the children grew -
"Children grew?" Well: 
And the last one:
"The silent surface of what has gone"
The silent surface?

Take my like for taking the time to write this
I've listened to the song many times and never thought of the lyrics being a hint in S2.. Nice find
Another one:
"Wind blown buildings, muddy ground" Wouldn't wind blown buildings be ruins? Amid the Ruins, maybe?
iorek21 is one smart son of a bitch, makes a mean can of beans too.
Now if you follow me, I'll show you the beds.
Yeah that's a true theory
Or it could just be a song that the folks down at telltale like?
"The strength of water can sink a man" Now, this part has no meaning for now, but if you think about All That Remains end credits song "In the Water" (that song talks a lot about sinking)
Yeah, it could be...
yeah that's to a theory !
i just excited to see No Going Back and Amid The Ruins
And Carver will make them say 'take us back' through various methods? I dunno o.e
Wow this is actually a really interesting find. If telltale planned for that, I would be seriously impressed and in awe.
Also later in the song it talks about the "moans and creaks of empty houses".
It might be referring to Kenny, and the water might be referring to the memories he has repressed of Katjaa and Duck and how they might drive him mad?
I think you guys are reaching. It's a beautiful, desolate song, but you're reading too much into it. My 2 cents . . .
Mind blown... Telltale Games are geniuses
You do realize that the song came first, right? So if anything TTG would be making the game to resemble the song and not ask Alela Diane to make the lyrics so that they fit their vague ideas for an upcoming season. I highely doubt that it's more than a song that fit beautifully at the end of season one. There's no literal meaning in it regarding season 2.
At this point you people make connections out of vague words in a similar matter as Nostradamus-believers do with his vague texts that have "foreseen" any number of things. Always after they happened of course.
not only a song man, everyhthing in the song will hapen or i should say "happening"
You do realize that no-one (or at least most of the people here) has claimed what you think they have claimed, right? The only things that people are saying are that Telltale could be putting in references to Take us Back in their game, thereby giving us hints to what comes next. Alternatively, other opinions displayed here say that they had season 2 vaguely planned beforehand, and Take us Back happened to fit, adding even more reasons for Telltale to use the song.
Personally, all that is is certain is that elements of the song refer to elements in season 2. Whether this is an accident or (sort of) planned by Telltale, I don't know, but Take us Back is pretty relevant to season 2. Especially episode 2, considering one of the themes of Take us Back is Old Friends/reunions (Or at least wishing for one).
That could be Wellington or the Cabin.
Interesting. Damn Telltale and all their foreshadowing, I fucking love it!
Yeah, some parts of the song are too similar to what happened to be mere coincidence...
But, again, I could be wrong
Guys! I found another lyric that coincides with Season 2!
The strength of water can sink a man
Could that be referring to Luke?
I don't know if the developers knew that far back what the story of Season 2 would be, but that's just a really awesome theory and I choose to believe it!
I wonder if they did that, they always foreshadow.
Lukes not dead.
Nice find!
I'll put that in the op
It seems that they took some details to make the plot for Season 2.
Although it's just a theory, I think it's too much to be just a coincidence
