This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Ain't no more sunshine, just rain and cold suffering
Generation born to die with their eyes wide open
The clock strikes
The wrong rights
The mob rules
The second Armageddon, igniting the lit fuse
No turning back & every soldier is on point
Ready to die, the confrontation coming, ready of not
It's on again, It's time to say your prayers again
It's not the end, just the beginning of the end
Is it hard?
Yea, I can hold it down like that
Is it real?
Yea, You know I break it down like that
Is it rough?
Don't even try to front like that
I'm on fire baby, a big dog will hunt like that
Another day, another buster wanna battle me
Another mamma crying, now her baby is a casualty
I'm ready nigga, slice like a machete nigga,
got fetty nigga, never spend it on Betty nigga
I hit and run, never stressing to look back
When I look back, I think about the love I never had
Then I wake up, I get fucked up and I get even
Approach you from the front
While in your back a knife I'm leaving
The sky is falling, I don't care
I just want to feel good
Her train's leaving, she don't care
She just wants to feel good
The World is dying, we don't care
We just want to feel good
It's all over, we don't care
We just want to feel good
No- we can't compromise like that
No- we can't conform like that
I'm saying fuck you and fuck the norm like that
Revolt and transform like that
Make a difference
Have a mother fucking impact
It won't stop raining, its flooding, Revelation was all true
You drew first blood, Jesus is coming to take you
Coming to break you, make you just like new
Satan laughing, spreads his wings and gets a new tattoo
A new platinum chain, a new pinky ring, the rolex, the benz,
The huggy bear pimp thing
Nigga it's midnight, never forget where you come from
Keep your mouth shut
Back the fuck up
Watch what you doing
Punk!
Bitch!
Mutha Fukkah!
What!!
C'mon!!

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
American Town

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I was supirsed this one wasn't here already, it never occurred to me to add it, anyway, here's my interpretation:
this is easily a song aobut growing up in poverty, and in a world where the youth is fucked up and constantly fucked with. in a worldd where we're not veiwed so much as teens but as demographics, buisnesses are constantly trying to make a quick buck off us, in our youth obsessed culture.
Violence also plays a major role in this song, there are many images of violence, and near the end there are some issues pof conformity brought up, and a small renouncing of organized religion.
since the song is a (hed)pe song id pretty much say that the verses make it just another pointless rap song but thats not right. i think that the chorus is meant to be from the governments point of view or something.
the sky is falling i dont care - bombs raining down but i got a underground bomb shelter so im safe her train is leaving she dont care - shes being sent off to war and desnt care because we brainwashed her to think that dying for us is right thing to do. the world is dying we dont care - self explanitory its all over we dont care - ditto
I'd think it's more along the point of view of the youth, only living for the moment
(hed)pe is one of the few rap/rock bands like. I like this song a lot.
Morgan Lander, the lead singer from Kittie, is the one screaming "is it hard? Is it rough?" and so one. Morgan's awesome, I love kitte
I stumbled upon this song by accident but i love it sooo much! I love the part Serj sings coz he has a mad voice but i love (Hed)PE as well.. they're mad!!!!! Anyway yeah...
Another pointless rap song? I think not. Read the lyrics. For me it seems to be about fighting, trying to live the way we want to, against the wishes of society.
No- we can't compromise like that No- we can't conform like that I'm saying fuck you and fuck the norm like that Revolt and transform like that
That doesn't sound like 'another pointless rap song' to me
you motherfuckers...
Honestly, I don't even view this song as rap at all. I hate rap, but I love the rock twist this song has, and yeah, Morgan Lander's awesome.
(hed)'s new cd fuckin rules!!!!! EVERYONE GO OUT AND BUY "BLACKOUT"!!!!!
I can't find this song, will someone mail it to me at chlorinebreath@mindspring.com
