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"
In the end you will be laid to rest where you belong.
bathed in the flames for your hatred and your ignorance. Your the symbol of masculinity, but I can beat king kong.
I will stand up for those who suffer [x6]
I will stand up for those who have suffered, been crucified by your insecurities [x2]
You cant say what love is...when your castrated....FUCKERS!!
Hatchets castrating the fuckers! [x8]
The voice that I've been given I will use to crush bigotry and defeat intolerance. With bodies ablaze (mother fucker) Sadly no one's there to push you in the flames. So throw another stick in, and I swear with every ounce on strength I have......I WILL BURN YOU ALL ALIVE!!!! In the sticks lay your worthless bodies, screaming, keep fucking screaming.
and with your eyeballs boiling! [x3]
WHO'S THE FUCKING FAGGOT NOW??!! [x5]

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
pretty straightfoward, it's against all of the people who discriminate against homosexuals. amazing song, and amazing lyrics.
This is an anti-homophobic song. & I love it when he growls "WHO'S THE FUCKING FAGGOT NOW?"
On their myspace page, Zak has put this on the lyrics:
"(I changed the lyrics up a little bit to make it completely clear that this song is and has always been an anti-homophobic song. If you're butthurt the lyrics are different I simply don't give a fuck! -Zak)"
oh yeah, and the part "I will stand up for those who have suffered been crucified by your insecurities", i'm pretty sure that refers to the homosexual kid that a bunch of punks crucified and killed.
I don't think he meant it that way, I think those crucified part was a metaphor or imagery for a kid who was gay bashed by faggots and beat the shit out of him. Honestly i dont like homosexuals i don't mind them but people who would go out and beat the crap outa someone for who they are, like being a homo, or even homeless people that are beat up is just so stupid. this song is over played by scene kids and most of the probally don't even know the meaning of it. Most of them go "Oh elysia is brutal dude, whos the fucking faggot now bitch" When in truth they are the fucking faggots lol. anyways great lyrics and meaning and ok song
I agree with Krob189 altogether. I do agree that it isn't about anyone actually being killed, its probably just a metaphor of them being harassed and assaulted. And I agree too that I don't really like homosexuals and based on my religion don't agree with it, but I like the point of this song because seriously going out of your way to attack and brutalize another human being, regardless of sexual orientation or anything else is just stupid.<br /> <br /> Last thing I gotta say is that this song is epic.
call it a terrible song all you want, the breakdowns are amazing, the message is wonderful, and their live performance is outrageous...especially during the "who's the fuckin' fagggot now?" part.
truly insane
AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Heres a few corrections....the lyrics are actually up on their page at myspace.com/elysia
(Forty thousand people die everyday.......)
