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"

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“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.
Spitfire was the British plane that helped win the war, to us Brits it's a symbol of defiance and fighting against the odds.
To say if I were in world war 2 they'd call me spitfire is like saying "if I were a golfer i'd be tiger woods" - it's about being top of your game
You are right. Also the spitfire was created under the philosophy small but powerful and efficient. It was among the fastest airplanes of its day. It made a huge difference per plane, yet there were not many compared against the more standardized Hurricane. Still its symbolic work was akin to the US Mustang. It gave people hope in the same way that Achilles would have for the ancient Greeks. We as people are always small. Thus to say 'If I was in World War II, they'd call me Spitfire" is to say that I may be small, but I am still a rallying point and have a powerful fight in me.
X.xroses4thedeadx.X, are you retarded or something? fucking drowning pool and disturbed aren't emo, they're nu-metal (and shitty nu-metal at that, but thats sort of ironic, because all nu-metal SUCKS)...Jesus Christ, kids today are stupid.
Amen. When he started talking about emo I thought this song was on a soundtrack with Dashboard Confessional, Paramore, Chisel, Jimmy Eat World, Fall Out Boy, etc. That would be strange. And yes, all nu-metal sucks. It's not music.
spitfire is a type battle jet used in world war II it is also a battle ship used in world war II so i dont know whcih 1 progidy is reffering to but o well =\
to be exact it was just a fighter plane used by the british in dog fights, it was far from a jet, synonymous with british air forces. though I think this song lacks any specific meaning, still a good song though
I love this song to death....although the lyrics are perhaps not the most creative.
This song is F'n Badass!!!!!
Where do they come up with the amazing lyrics for their songs?
man, i always get this song stuck in my head. i thought, damn, why can't i remember most of the lyrics? now i see that i did know the lyrics! lol this song is so awesome

Ahh i love this song! My older brother introduced me to Prodigy when I was about 9 and ever since, I've loved em. Where the hell do they get such catchy song ideas??!
