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're pushing me back
But I pass right through you
I'm slippin' through your cracks
I want to get close to you
But you just won't let me in
You're pullin' away
So my hands can't touch you
So you can't feel my pain
And there's no secrets
Between you and yesterday
How do I get through to you
How do I get through to you
That there's no one in this world
Who wants you more than I want you
You hide behind walls
From the one's that love you
The one you fear you might fall for
And it's hard to ignore
The error in your ways
How do I get through to you
How do I get through to you
That there's no one in this world
Who wants you more than I want you
You must be so lonely
You must be so lonely without me
You must be so lonely
You must be so lonely without me
How long must I wait
For the sun to finally rise behind your eyes... or will you throw it all away
How do I get through to you
How do I get through to you
Cause there's no one in this world
Who wants you more than I want you
But I pass right through you
I'm slippin' through your cracks
I want to get close to you
But you just won't let me in
You're pullin' away
So my hands can't touch you
So you can't feel my pain
And there's no secrets
Between you and yesterday
How do I get through to you
How do I get through to you
That there's no one in this world
Who wants you more than I want you
You hide behind walls
From the one's that love you
The one you fear you might fall for
And it's hard to ignore
The error in your ways
How do I get through to you
How do I get through to you
That there's no one in this world
Who wants you more than I want you
You must be so lonely
You must be so lonely without me
You must be so lonely
You must be so lonely without me
How long must I wait
For the sun to finally rise behind your eyes... or will you throw it all away
How do I get through to you
How do I get through to you
Cause there's no one in this world
Who wants you more than I want you

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

Blue

Ed Sheeran
“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 need to be something more,, to have a relashionship,, but not being able to get through to this person because they are too closed up and dont want to let him or her in. Being so in love with this certain person that you beleive no one else but you wants this person. this song is about desire and the need to get someone to want you as much as you want them. My situation right now,, i hate trying to get through to people,, its so hard once youve already fallen for them and then they never let you in, or you try to get in but theirs no way, and you turn to a song like this because listeing to it gives you the exact meaning of your situatin...
