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"
We stay up late
We get no sleep
My body's aching
I got no money left
My friends say I'm loosing it
You're so bad for me
But that's a good thing
Love is a good thing
Every room we're in
Gets trashed from floor to ceiling
Your kiss is killing me
When I part from your sweet lips
My dreams of you are censored
Restless end in sight
But that's a good thing
Love is a good thing
Love is a good thing
Love is a good thing
The first law of love
Is all the rules could be re written
The second law of love
Is just what we make it
No question
That's a good thing
Love's a good thing
The first law of love
Is all the rules could be re written
The second law of love
Is just what we make it
No question
That's a good thing
Love's a good thing
The first law of love
Is all the rules could be re written
The second law of love
Is just what we make it
No question
That's a good thing
Love's a good thing
We get no sleep
My body's aching
I got no money left
My friends say I'm loosing it
You're so bad for me
But that's a good thing
Love is a good thing
Every room we're in
Gets trashed from floor to ceiling
Your kiss is killing me
When I part from your sweet lips
My dreams of you are censored
Restless end in sight
But that's a good thing
Love is a good thing
Love is a good thing
Love is a good thing
The first law of love
Is all the rules could be re written
The second law of love
Is just what we make it
No question
That's a good thing
Love's a good thing
The first law of love
Is all the rules could be re written
The second law of love
Is just what we make it
No question
That's a good thing
Love's a good thing
The first law of love
Is all the rules could be re written
The second law of love
Is just what we make it
No question
That's a good thing
Love's a good thing

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
"What Is Love" screams unconditional love, and is interesting because it is such an unlovey-dovey love song. The title must have already been quoted by half the world - I keep hearing over the years.
HoJo songs (despite the sound) are extremely wise and deep and meaningful. His lyrics show his great understanding of life and love. Some of his songs have deep spiritual meaning.
Doggone it! I almost know what he's saying here, but I can't put it into words.
HA! Me too!! For me it's kind of like this. This is a song about a relationship (duh!). Let's pretend it was written after a couple had a fight; perhaps there was a confession of falling out of love. The rest of the song is he or she trying to define what love is in the first place. Love can't solve all your personal problems so why do we fall in love in the first place? It's a song about both hope & fear. These are some powerful lyrics.
