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'm feelin' yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience, so let's go
You see me
Look, I'm dyin' of drama
I wanna spend the night
Don't bring pajamas
Man, there's so much heat beneath these clothes
You see me
Walk in the place
They know my face
Encore sophomore
Only one solo, I swore
Big mouth, applause
Oh please, one more
Wanna hear it before I say naw?
Let me check my itinerary
Mmm, all right
Presto, skin tight
Escape and I risked my life
For what, so I can watch them bite
Only one Gwen you can find like this
I mean blow your mind like this
Your key won't shine like this
If it's yours, then you know it won't wind like this
Wind it up
I'm feelin' yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience, so let's go
You see me
Look, I'm dyin' of drama
I wanna spend the night
Don't bring pajamas
Man, there's so much heat beneath these clothes
You see me
I know you've been waiting
But I've been out making babies
And like a chef making donuts and pastries
(It's time to make you sweat)
Sex and sugar is the flavor
Ovens and beaters and graters
Beats made of bongos and shakers
(It's time to make you sweat)
Walk in the place
They know my face
Billionaire boys
Ice cream drippin' 'cross the floor
Big house, garage
Bentleys, Ferrari
Wanna go before I say naw?
Let met check my itinerary
Mmm, all right
G four, G flight
Bed in the back, so I have a G night
Goodnight, hood right
Ain't no nigga you can find like this
I mean blow your mind like this
Nigga's watch don't shine like this
If it's ticking, then it don't tell time like this
I'm feelin' yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience, so let's go
You see me
Look, I'm dyin' of drama
I wanna spend the night
Don't bring pajamas
Man, there's so much heat beneath these clothes
You see me
I know you've been waiting
But I've been out making babies
And like a chef making donuts and pastries
(It's time to make you sweat)
Sex and sugar is the flavor
Ovens and beaters and graters
Beats made of bongos and shakers
(It's time to make you sweat)
Now sweat, baby
Get stupid, jump up, go crazy
L.A.M.B. in 3-D
Worldwide across your T.V.
P, you crazy; how'd you get this?
This sounds like disco Tetris
Do I have time to connect this?
Let me check my itinerary
Mmm
I came back for my spotlight
(For her spotlight)
I disappeared like Houdini
(Where? Houdini)
If yours didn't come out right
(If it's not right...)
Go to Kinko's and Xerox me
I'm feelin' yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience, so let's go
You see me
Look, I'm dyin' of drama
I wanna spend the night
Don't bring pajamas
Man, there's so much heat beneath these clothes
You see me
I'm feelin' yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience, so let's go
You see me
Look, I'm dyin' of drama

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.
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Punchline

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.
The baby sounds in this song are those of Gwen's son Kingston, according to TRL. Love this song!
