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"
I swallow razor blades and spit up blood
Cut out my heart and gave it to my love
I hung myself with an extension cord
And dangled high above the Quija board
I heard the wind through the trees and it made me scream
I'm wonderin' if it's real life or just another dream
I need something...someone
To help me with my brain because it's falling apart
I fall apart
I'm falling to pieces and I don't know why
It's all because...
It's all because we're all afraid to die
And if you think...
And if you think about it, it'll eat you
From the inside out till you don't know what to do
You fall apart
I'm drinkin' gas, smokin' square after square
I'm lookin' for this place but I don't know where
I'm just a soul in the land of the lost
I feel the blood in my lungs when I cough
I cut my hands off in the dark and just sat there and bled
While the whole world fell apart inside of my head
I need something...someone
To help me with my brain because it's falling apart
I fall apart
I'm falling to pieces, and I don't know why
It's all because...
It's all because we're all afraid to die
And if you think...
And if you think about it, it'll eat you
From the inside out till you don't know what to do
You fall apart
I cut my rib cage open with a butcher knife
And opened up the wound to show my life
I'm not the devil, but your mama swear we're one in the same
And we didn't make it this way so we're not carrying the blame
I been down and out
I know what that's all about
I need something...someone (You fall apart!!)
Help me wit my brain
Help me wit my brain
I need something, someone (You fall apart!!)
Help me wit my brain
Help me wit my brain
I need something, someone (You fall apart!!)
Help me wit my brain
Help me wit my brain
I'm falling to pieces and I don't know why
It's all because...
It's all because we're all afraid to die
And if you think...
And if you think about it, it'll eat you
From the inside out till you don't know what to do
You fall apart
Jumped out a twenty story window today
I got back up, and then I walked away
My head was screaming for a Tylenol
Opened the bottle and I ate 'em all
My head was spinnin' in a daze and I need to relax
So where's my chainsaw, butcher knife, and muthafuckin' axe?
Something...someone
To help me with my brain cause it's falling apart
I need something...someone
To help me with my brain cause it's falling apart
I fall apart
I'm falling to pieces, and I don't know why
It's all because...
It's all because we're all afraid to die
And if you think...
And if you think about it, it'll eat you
From the inside out till you don't know what to do
You fall apart
I'm falling to pieces, and I don't know why
It's all because...
It's all because we're all afraid to die
And if you think...
And if you think about it, it'll eat you
From the inside out till you don't know what to do
You fall apart
I keep fallin' apart (I never wanted to die)
I keep fallin' apart
I keep fallin' apart (I never wanted to die)
I keep fallin' apart
I keep fallin' apart (I never wanted to die)
I keep fallin' apart
I keep fallin' apart (I never wanted to die)
I keep fallin' apart
I keep fallin' apart (I never wanted to die)
I keep fallin' apart
Cut out my heart and gave it to my love

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
agree with Meow and Twizidclown.
