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"
Usher (Lil Jon, Ludacris!)
Yeah man, once again it's on (it's on)
You know we had to do it again right?
(We had to do it again boy!)
Uh-huh, uh, yeah
(I want you to sin' to these ladies man)
Uh, oh-oh-oh
I guess I'm up first, let me at 'em
Uh, oh-oh-oh
Check me out, let's get it
Baby, how you doin'? Hope that you're fine
Want to know what you got in mind and I
Got me feenin' like Jodeci, girl I can't leave you alone
Take a shot of this here Patrón and it's gon' be on
V.I.P done got way too crowded
I'm about to end up callin' it a night
She should holla at your girl tell her that you're shakin' the scene
Pulled off, beep-beep, shotgun in the GT with me
She said, "Oh, I'm ready to ride" (I was like) Yeah
'Cause once you get inside, you can't change your mind
Don't mean to sound impatient but you gotta promise baby, oh
Tell me again (tell me again, my baby)
That we'll be lovers and friends (oh, I gotta know baby, oh yeah)
Tell me again (make sure you're right, oh before we began)
That we'll be lovers and friends (oh, oh it's a good look baby)
It's a really good look baby, look here
Sometime wanna be your lover, sometime wanna be your friend
Sometime wanna hug you, hold hands slow dance while the record spins
Opened up your heart 'cause you said I made you feel so comfortable
Used to play back then now you all grown up like Rudy Huxtable
I could be your bud you could beat me up
Play fight in the dark then we both make up
I do, anythin' just to feel yo' butt
Why you, got me so messed up?
I don't know but you gotta stop trippin'
Be a good girl now turn around and get these whippings
You know you like it like that
You don't have to fight back
Here's a pillow bite that
And I'll be settin' separate plays
So on all these separate days
Your legs can go they separate ways
Tell me again (tell me again, my baby)
That we'll be lovers and friends (oh, it's a good look baby)
Tell me again (tell me over and over and over again)
That we'll be lovers and friends (make sure you're right before you choose)
I's been knowin' you for a long time (shawty)
But fuckin' never crossed my mind (shawty)
But tonight I seen somethin' in you (shawty)
That made me wanna get with you (shawty)
You ain't been nothin' but a friend to me (shawty)
And a nigga never ever dreamed we'd be (shawty)
Up in here kissin', huggin', squeezin', touchin' (shawty)
Up in the bathtub rub-a-dubbin' (shawty)
Are you sure you wanna go this route (shawty)
Let a nigga know before I pull it out (shawty)
I would never ever cross the line (shawty)
Shawty let me hear you tell me one more time
One more time
Tell me again (tell me again, my baby)
That we'll be lovers and friends (oh, it's a good look baby)
Tell me again (make sure you're right, oh before we began)
That we'll be lovers and friends (tell me over and over and over again)
Ah, ah-ooh, ah, ah-ooh
Ah, ah-ooh, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Please tell your lovers and friends
That Ursher, Jon and Luda had to do it again (hey!)
Uh, please tell your lovers and friends

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.
