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"
If I was your tv I'd be like "Look at me"
If I was a shooting star I'd be like "Peace!"
If I was a fat bitches thong I'd be like "Hell naw!'
If I was a hotties thong I'd be like "Aw..."
If I was a cuss word I'd just be like "fuck"
If I was a rock on the moon I'd be chillin' like "Sup?"
If I was a butthole I'd just be an exit
If I was the D.O.C. I'd be like "man this is bullshit"
If I was the tires on your car I'd be like "NEEEAAAWWW"
If I was the bumper on your car I'd be like "Aww fuck"
If I was a balloon I'd be like "pap"
If I was Allysa Milano I'd be fucking Joe Bruce
If I was a radio DJ I'd probably say "the point 103"
If I was a richy ass bitch I'd be like "umm...ok"
If I was Spin magazine I'd put me on the cover and be like "fuck us! And
I won't read this, even us motherfucker!"
If I was your mental stress I'd be catching up
If I was your headaches every now and then I'd be like "THONNNKK!!"
If I was your tongue I'd be hating your teeth I'd be like "Man why do
you try to bite me every time we try to eat?"
If I was a chair I'd be like "Sit here"
If I was Kid Rock I'd cut my feathered wolf hair
If I was your muffler I'd be like "Shhh, quietly"
If I was a price tag I'd be like "You ain't buying me"
If I was a fresh ass DJ I'd be like [records scratch]
If I was Jam Master J I'd be like [records scratch]
If I was a cheap clock radio I'd be like [static]
"Tune that motherfucker in"
If I was Barry White I'd be like "What up y'all?"
If I was nipple in the cold I'd be like "Boing"
If I was your dead uncle I'd be like "....."
If I was a raindrop I'd just be like "drip"
And If I had an ax to your neck I might say "CHOP!"
If I was, if I was, but I'll never be
If I was, if I was, but I'll never be

If I was, if I was, but you're killing me
If I was, if I was. but you're killing me
If I was a Faygo at one of our shows, I'd fly through the air into and
ocean of juggalos
If I was Andre The Giant "This is how I'd be talking"
If I was Father MC I'd be like "Now what happened?"
If I was a mirror, I'd find another mirror
and look each other dead in the eye, crystal clear
If I was a slider I'd slide out your butt
I'd be floatin' in your toilet lookin' at you like "What?"
If I was a pilot I'd be like "This is air traffic control"
If I was John Denver I'd be like "Nooooooo!!!!"
If I was a switch I'd be like "Flick me, yoo-hoo"
If I was a London cop car I'd be like "Wee-oop wee-oop"
If I was Chewbacca I'd get a fresh ass fade
If I was Vanilla Ice I'd be like "Fuck y'all. I'm still paid"
If I was a stop sign I'd just be like "Stop"
If I was your wooden leg I'd still be giving you the hip-hop
If I was, if I was, but I'll never be
If I was, if I was, but I'll never be
If I was, if I was, but I'll never be
If I was, if I was, but I'll never be
If I was, if I was, but you're killing me

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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
This song is really cool, because it makes me think on..."What if...". After I listened to this song, I sat down for like 2 hours just thinking on "What if..." stuff, you'd be surprised on how much you can learn!
whatever you weird ass
I thought it was cool, but you must have been stoned to sit around for two hours thinking of "what if..."
lmao. that's pretty awesome. ^_~
What?why?
yeah i'm with Twiztid-Juggalette...it does kinda make u think alil bit. and i think its like...well..um..hes kinda saying hes not good enough for someone or something.
insane clown posse. what were they thinking. they have their funny moments, like the stuff they say in between, other than that...what were they thinking?
The only thing this song makes me think is "what if.. ICP never existed?"
If ICP never existed, we wouldn't know about them, so we'd just find some other band to listen to/hate on.
This song is pretty good, although My Axe, Radio Stars, and Mr. Happy are better songs coming from this CD (Bizzar).
If ICP decided to take cheap shots at you in a crappy song, would you care?
I know i wouldn't
