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 don't know what I'm doing wrong
Maybe I've been here too long
The songs on the radio sound the same
Everybody just looks the same
But then last night was so much fun
And now your sheets are dirty
The streets are dirty too but
You never look back over what you've done
Remember when you were young
You'd lose yourself
In the morning, you know you won't remember a thing
In the morning, you know it's gonna be alright
Wake him up, warm him up
Put him on the stage, well
The boy can't help it, it's not his fault
Just a dangerous, dangerous age
But then every night's still so much fun
And you're still out there darling
Clinging on to the wrong ideas but
I never regret anything I've done
Remember when you were young
You'd lose yourself
In the morning you know he won't remember a thing
In the morning you know it's gonna be alright
In the morning, you know he won't remember a thing
In the morning, you know it's gonna be all
In the morning, you know he won't remember a thing
In the morning, you know it's gonna be all
In the morning, you know he won't remember a thing
In the morning, you know it's gonna be alright

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Wow - love this song Cool lyrics as well About drinking? New Album should be good
i think it is a reference to pete doherty,
Lyrics a little inaccurate, but who cares? Awesome song, reference to Pete Doherty makes sense, though it could be about just going out and getting hammered...
i think this song is about having a heavy night out!
In the morning, you know you won’t remember a thing In the morning, you know it’s gonna be alright
as in in the mornign after, you won;t remember a thing cause you were so pissed and so it'l be alright
I'm pretty sure these are the lyrics:
I wonder what I'm doing wrong Maybe I've been here too long The songs on the radio sound the same Everybody just looks the same
And then last nights show was so much fun And now your sheets are dirty The streets are dirty too But I never look back into the sun no
Oh wake him up, warm him up Put him on the stage When he burns his stomach with a cigarette Its just a danger of the age
And then last nights show was so much fun And now your sheets are dirty The streets are dirty too But you never look back over what you've done
Oh wake him up, warm him up Put him on the stage When he burns his stomach with a cigarette But the boy can't act his age
And then last nights show was so much fun And now your sheets are dirty Ohh, your dirty too But you never look back into that sun no
And in the morning You know you won't remember a thing
In the morning You know you won't remember a thing
In the morining You know it's gonna be alright
In the morning You know you won't remember a thing
In the morning You know you won't remember a thing
In the morining You know it's gonna be alright
It's gonna be all.. It's gonna be all.. It's gonna be all.. It's gonna be allright
well im pretty sure my lyrics are more accurate than that...
where on earth did you get the 'burns his stomach with a cigarette' bit, or the 'never look back into the sun' bit?
Have you actually listened to the song
Up The Bracket's lyrics are from the video while clojoe's are from what I think is a demo version. I have both of them so I know ^__~
I always just thought this was about relationships. And how at night you would lose yourself but then during the day it would revert to being a hassle again.
However the Pete Doherty thing makes sense, especially when looking at the 2nd verse.
no offence to those who think this is about pete doherty, but im there are other razorlight songs which people have sed 'this is about pete' when im sure the song could just be interpreted that way, which isn't difficult. This song may well be about him, although i personally think its about drinking, im just saying..
ive heard two differnt versions of this song,a radio edit and one has the lyrics 'burns his stomach with a cigarette' and 'never look back into the sun' bit.
