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"
You caught my fall making out on alcohol
An innocent mistake
Falling in love on accident, I didn't mean to
Constant danger, constant stranger
It started out so sweet
And now we're both feeling incomplete
I don't know how much I can take
We're on, we're off
We're knocked down and getting up
We try to fight it, the agony and ecstasy
And it's painful but it's worth it
'Cause you're so foxy and I think you're kinda good for me
You're so foxy
Mental Earthquake, conversation mistakes
My army of words
I can't believe you're crawling back for more out of desire
Destiny or chemicals, emotions are susceptible
And you I can't resist
I can't seem to walk away from this
So show me how much you can take, are you in or out?
You're knocked down and getting up
You kinda like it, the agony and ecstasy
And it's painful, I'm sorry
But you're so foxy, I can't let you get away from me
'Cause you're so foxy
You're so foxy to me, I'm so lucky
'Cause you're so foxy
So get out of my way, I'm feeling so in love today
It can't be understood
And when we're feeling good it's really good
The kind of good that feels like fate
We're back and forth
We're knocked down and getting up
We try to fight it, the agony and ecstasy
And it's painful but it's your fault
'Cause you're so foxy and you got yourself all over me
You're so foxy
And I can't take it, it's hard to take it
I can't take it
It's painful but it's worth it
'Cause you're so foxy
I think you must be good for me
An innocent mistake
Falling in love on accident, I didn't mean to
Constant danger, constant stranger
It started out so sweet
And now we're both feeling incomplete
I don't know how much I can take
We're on, we're off
We're knocked down and getting up
We try to fight it, the agony and ecstasy
And it's painful but it's worth it
'Cause you're so foxy and I think you're kinda good for me
You're so foxy
Mental Earthquake, conversation mistakes
My army of words
I can't believe you're crawling back for more out of desire
Destiny or chemicals, emotions are susceptible
And you I can't resist
I can't seem to walk away from this
So show me how much you can take, are you in or out?
You're knocked down and getting up
You kinda like it, the agony and ecstasy
And it's painful, I'm sorry
But you're so foxy, I can't let you get away from me
'Cause you're so foxy
You're so foxy to me, I'm so lucky
'Cause you're so foxy
So get out of my way, I'm feeling so in love today
It can't be understood
And when we're feeling good it's really good
The kind of good that feels like fate
We're back and forth
We're knocked down and getting up
We try to fight it, the agony and ecstasy
And it's painful but it's your fault
'Cause you're so foxy and you got yourself all over me
You're so foxy
And I can't take it, it's hard to take it
I can't take it
It's painful but it's worth it
'Cause you're so foxy
I think you must be good for me

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.

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”

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Oh my God! I adore this song! Can't believe no comments :P Anyways this song pretty much explains itself, you've fallen in love but you don't want to, you've tried so hard to rid yourself of the virus called love, but you can't. Great song!
yeah it's a song about crazy love is! I love this song and I can t believe that they hadn't released it for so many years until the boxed set came out.
wow... this song is for me. this is exactly how i feel right now. it describes everything that is going on with me right now. its such a good song too.
Best song of all time, definitely No Doubt's best. The hyped up music definitely matches up with Gwen's incredible lust for who she's falling in love it. She's definitely adoring this person, and we can all relate to this song whenever we get a crush on someone. This song doesn't forget to mention the crazy feelings, and how she can't resist. I can't explain how great it is.
This song reminds me of how my bf and I met..."you caught my fall making out on alcohol.."
This song is obviously about not meaning to fall in love...and as much as you tried to fight it, love is just inevitable in this case, or fate as she says it, "and when we're feeling good its really good, the kind of good that feels like fate"..
Sometimes you just can't help what the heart wants.
This song describes exactly the relationship that I'm in right now. From the beginning where we fell in love on accident and all the problems she describes here. Me and my boyfriend have our problems too and we love each other but the question is how much can we take?
we're knocked down and getting up we try to fight it, the agony and ecstasy and it's painful but it's worth it 'cause you're so foxy and i think you're kinda good for me
