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"
Something's got my fear,
And then won't get through my head,
But there's something missing,
There's something missing here.
Here I go again,
React without a plan, oh,
But there's something missing,
There's something missing here.
Makin' love in mama's room,
Takin' all I can from you,
And when you go, go, go, oh, oh, oh,
Go, go, go, oh, oh, oh.
She's on high demand,
I can try but nobody can, oh,
But there's something missing,
There's something missing here,
Yeah.
Whoa,
Lay right on the floor,
I want to hear no more,
But there's something missing,
There's something missing here.
Makin' love in mama's room,
Takin' all I can from you,
And when you go, go, go, oh, oh, oh,
Go, go, go, oh, oh, oh.

Takin' all I can from you,
And when you go, go, go, oh,
And when you go, go, go, oh, oh, oh.
I like the pain that comes out at night,
Everybody dance, everybody feel right,
I like the pain that comes out at night,
Everybody dance, everybody feel right.
I can't sleep alone,
Everybody dance, everybody feel right,
I can't sleep alone,
Everybody dance, everybody feel right.
Makin' love in mama's room,
Takin' all I can from you,
And when you go, go, go, oh,
And when you go, go, go, oh, oh, oh.
Makin' love in mama's room,
Takin' all I can from you,
And when you go, go, go, oh,
And when you go, go, go, oh, oh, oh.
And then won't get through my head,
But there's something missing,
There's something missing here.
Here I go again,
React without a plan, oh,
But there's something missing,
There's something missing here.
Makin' love in mama's room,
Takin' all I can from you,
And when you go, go, go, oh, oh, oh,
Go, go, go, oh, oh, oh.
She's on high demand,

But there's something missing,
There's something missing here,
Yeah.

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
I believe its about a guy who, like mascardo said, needs to fill a void in his life by doing things that bring him instant gratification. But he reliezes that what he is doing may be wrong because the sexual act that he is doing with this girl is entirely empty. And this makes him feel even worse and even more alone. It's kind of an endless circle.
god i havent been able find this anywhere! finally
it was on itunes for the last couple of months... this album fucking rocks
I really don't know what this song's about, maybe the guy is using her...
uhhh.. I dunno, but this song fucking rules. It's so sexy I've had it on repeat for the past 2 days!
And I love the video, lots of sexy chicks~
This song is so different than what i usually listen to but it's amazing.
I think this guy is trying to have his way with this girl but she isn't giveing in and he's being a jerk about it because what's missing is his heart (lame, sorry) and he's obviously just taking all he can from this girl. The pain at night...she finally gives in?
I think the guy in this song is depressed and lonely, because he feels that something missing in his life:
"Something's got my fear, And then won't get through my head, But there's something missing, There's something missing here....I can't sleep alone,"
and he tries to make himself happier by doing things that cause instant gratification. He goes to parties in order to fill his "void" for a mere couple of hours:
"Here I go again, React without a plan, oh, ...Everybody dance, everybody feel right,"
The lines that make it most obvious that hes trying to find an easy way to satisfation are: I like the pain that comes out at night, Everybody dance, everybody feel right, I like the pain that comes out at night, Everybody dance, everybody feel right."
At parties everyone is realeasing their stress, their "pain" with others by partiying.
Definately a pretty sick song. Just got the album and it's pretty smokin - good stuff. Definately going back to the 70's sound, but thats A OK. I think this songs about fuckin a girl and then the thing thats missing is well, he hasnt reached the "peak" if you know what i mean and then well, go go go oh oh oh yea. There ya go, thats it. Take it for what it is.
I love this song and the meaning is pretty obvious.
i read bout this song in a band interview and its supposed 2 b about that rush u sumtimes get doing things ur not supposed 2. and of course obviously the sexual "making love in mama's room"...
sounds like it's pretty much about him getting it on in his mom's room
